| Lucky |
Final answer! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, August 12!
Our Top Pick tonight is the penultimate episode of Lucky (Apple TV, midnight). Based on a novel, the crime thriller finds Anya Taylor-Joy on the run after a heist goes bad and she's pursued by both the FBI and her crime boss mother-in-law Annette Bening. I've heard good things about it, though I haven't watched past the first episode. Will I ever continue? TBD.
Elsewhere, Reacher is back, Ted Lasso returns to Richmond, Diarra faces a legendary villain, the Ark goes boom, Krysten Ritter and Sarah Shahi give their final answer, and the X-Men confront ghosts.
