What to Watch

🌅 Before Sunrise Binge: 3:00 AM Stream-A-Palooza

🍸 Acapulco (Apple TV+)

Maximo is learning that organizing a labor movement is less "Viva la Revolución" and more "Please stop yelling." Meanwhile, Diane plays power games with Vera because, well, boredom is toxic.

💎 The Buccaneers (Apple TV+)

The scandal is thicker than the corsets in New York’s divorce court as Nan faces family drama of Bridgerton-level proportions. Just admit it, you're watching for the outfits.

😱 Conversations With a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes (Netflix – All Episodes)

It’s true crime o’clock. This new chapter in the Conversations With a Killer series takes you deep into the twisted mind of David Berkowitz. Don’t watch it alone. Or do. We’re not your therapist.

⏳ Countdown (Prime Video)

We’re down to the wire, and Blythe is basically begging for help now. Guest star Mary Beth Evans pops in for some soapy gravitas. Things are tense. Like season finale tense.

🔍 Mr. & Mrs. Murder (Hulu)

Mike goes duck hunting and... doesn’t come back. Spoiler: It’s not about ducks. This four-part docuseries is the kind of real-life mystery that makes you rethink every lakeside vacation.

💔 The Summer I Turned Pretty (Prime Video)

Belly and Jeremiah’s engagement is out, and so is all the drama that comes with it. If this show doesn’t end with someone crying on a beach, is it even TSITP?

👽 War of the Worlds (Prime Video – Movie Premiere)

ICE. CUBE. VS. ALIENS. What else do you need to know? This slick update of the sci-fi classic is pure popcorn chaos. If you’re not streaming it, you’re wrong.

🌆 Primetime Hits: 8:00 PM ET

🏠 Big Brother (CBS)

The Power of Veto comp is on, and HoH Lauren isn’t here to play nice. Will, Kelley, and Keanu better bring it or pack it. Strategy? Backstabbing? Yes, please.

💪 The Challenge: Season 41 Premiere (MTV)

OGs meet rookies, and egos collide like poorly timed cannonballs. A new rivalry brews and alliances are already rotting. In other words: perfection.

👩‍⚖️ Family Law (The CW)

A surrogate gets the shock of a lifetime when she finds out one of the twins she carried is hers. Oh CW, never stop being you.

🍳 MasterChef (FOX)

The losing duos face a brutal Pressure Test. This time, they have to bid on ingredients. Yes, like a cooking auction. Gordon is unhinged and we’re loving every minute.

💸 Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (ABC)

Celebrity pairs battle for charity dollars. Matt Damon and Ken Jennings? Jordan Klepper and Ronny Chieng? This is either genius casting or chaos. Or both.

🌙 Late-Night Delights: 9:00 PM ET

🏞 Chasing the West (HGTV – Series Premiere)

The Property Brothers go cowboy. Families trade traffic for tumbleweeds, and ranch life gets real—fast. If you ever wanted to see a goat stare someone down, this is your show.

🔥 Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service (FOX)

Gordon tries to rescue a struggling, all-female restaurant. Expect flames—emotional and kitchen-based.

🌍 Human Footprint (PBS – Season 2 Finale)

A powerful look at extinction and survival. From ancient fossils to frozen DNA, this finale might just inspire your next climate change argument.

🎰 It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FXX)

Frank’s at a West Virginia dog track. Dennis and Dee go all in on gambling. It’s a mess. It’s hilarious. It’s Sunny.

🧠 Match Game (ABC)

Six celebs, too many puns, and awkward blanks to fill. If your humor’s stuck in middle school (ours is), this is peak comfort TV.

🥂 The Real Housewives of Miami (Bravo)

Yacht drama! Guerdy's on blast, Nicole's back, and drunken tantrums threaten to sink the ship. You already know we’re DVRing this and live-tweeting.

💅 Sistas (BET)

Sabrina takes the wheel in her life, while Andi peels back Dr. Cruise’s dark secrets. Emotions run high, wigs stay flawless.

🕦 Nightcap Weirdness: 10:30 PM ET

🗿 Digman! (Comedy Central)

A Titanic conspiracy? Check. A museum ready to kill for it? Double check. Rip and Saltine are back with the weirdest cartoon-adventure-energy you didn’t know you needed.
