| Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed |
Play that funky music! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, June 24!
Our Top Pick tonight is Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed (Apple TV, midnight). This comedy thriller finds divorced fact-checker Paula Saunders (Tatiana Maslany in only this role. Boo!) pulled into a deep mystery when her webcam boy is kidnapped. Her life is a mess as she feuds with her successful ex (Jake Johson) over their daughter, too. I've been really enjoying this show. Tatiana can check my facts any day.
Elsewhere, the Other Bennet Sister finds new life, American was an Experiment, Oscar Isaac falls In the Hand of Dante, Vox Machina wraps, the Brits have a Wild Cherry, and the Minds stay awake for surgery.
