| Citadel |
Emmy rush time! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, May 6!
Our Top Pick tonight is the return of Citadel (Amazon Prime Video, 3 a.m.). But does any still care? What was suppose to ignite an international franchise fizzled out really fast after this spy action show made little dent in the collective pop culture in 2023. International spinoffs flailed and this 3-years-in-the-making sophomore season does a soft reboot trying to salvage one of the most expensive TV shows ever made. Joining Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra, Stanley Tucci, and Lesley Manville this season are Matt Berry and Michael Trucco, among others. And probably high body counts, too.
Elsewhere, David Attenborough has an Adventure, Nancy Guthrie gets CW doc treatment, there's pride and prejudice and another Sister, Margo's got secrets, it's Widow's Bay beach season, and there's a cold case Fire.
