Tonight's Top Pick is the 150th episode of FBI, airing at 9 p.m. on CBS-CBS-CBS. I know next to nothing about this show. I will note that Zeeko Zaki, who plays "OA," slightly resembles model Christopher Lima.


While I reflect on how it's often easy to bring a conversation back to my thirstiness, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, March 23. All times are Eastern.


STREAMING (Hulu has the streaming premiere of Sentimental Value at 12:01 a.m.)
Kountry Wayne: Nostalgia, 3:01 a.m., Amazon. Special presentation. "Nostalgia is full of funny and hilarious moments mixed with the truth. It reminds us of how comedy was back in the day. It gives us that '90s feel -- that funny, raw, fun, hard, Def Jam laughter -- but at the same time, it holds informational, truthful, and enlightening moments. It's full of laughter, and it's the nostalgia of how you felt back in the day … before AI existed!"

Canal Boat Diaries, 3:01 a.m., Acorn TV. Sixth season premiere. "Winding through intricate networks of canals on his narrowboat, videographer Robbie Cumming embarks on a 300-mile journey across the Midlands and northern England. Robbie shares his personal perspectives as he travels through beautiful landscapes, all while facing the unique challenges of life on the water." Ten episodes available.

Mystery Road: Origin, 3:01 a.m., Acorn TV. Second season premiere. "A new posting to the town of Loch Iris, Jay Swan's hopes of a new beginning with Mary are shattered when he's nearly sideswiped by a stolen car, the suspicious death of an elderly nun and a missing child." New episodes weekly through Monday, April 27.

The Family Next Door, 3:01 a.m., Acorn TV. "Isabelle." "As tensions in the court mount, the truth of Isabelle's investigation is finally revealed."
