| The Shards |
No ordinary Joe! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 26!
Our Top Pick tonight is The Shards (FX & Hulu, 9 p.m.). Based on a bestseller, this latest flashy period drama (1981) from the Ryan Murphy factory finds a friend group of rich kids at an L.A. prep school upended by a new arrival. Oh, and there's a serial killer on the the loose.
Elsewhere, Anya Taylor-Joy is done being Lucky, Nat Geo seeks the Lion king, sportsballs are a Beautiful Obsession, Awkwafina gives her final answer, Average Joe is back in the middle, Ted Lasso faces shareholder, America voted on Talent, Boeing is in Freefall, and Miles O'Brien seeks a Resolve to Solve.
