What to watch on TV this week... 7 not to miss
Our expert TV writers have picked the best things for you to watch this week...
1. 90 Day Fiancé season 9 Tell All part 1, Sunday, August 14, 8 pm ET/PT (TLC)
For 90 Day Fiancé fans, the season 9 reunion is a must-watch. This season has been full of drama and cringeworthy incidents and the Tell All is the couples’ first opportunity to nationally address some of the most talked about moments. We for one can’t wait to hear if the dynamic between Emily and Kobe is a little less lopsided and if Yve and Mohamed have been able to move past some of their cultural differences. — Terrell Smith
2. Tales of the Walking Dead premiere, Sunday, August 14, 9 pm ET/PT (AMC)
Tales of the Walking Dead is an all-new anthology series that introduces new characters and new locations to the Walking Dead universe. We’re excited about seeing what happened in other parts of the country, moving around geographically as well as chronologically; Tales of the Walking Dead features stories set at the start of the zombie apocalypse as well as years into the future. We’ll also get to see some familiar faces like Samantha Morton’s Alpha, but this time it’s long before she became the infamous TWD villain. — Sarabeth Pollock
3. Legacy: The True Story of the LA Lakers, Monday, August 15 (Hulu)
Legacy: The True Story of the LA Lakers is a 10-part series that in many respects serves as a direct response to HBO’s popular, yet controversial, Winning Time, as the docuseries includes interviews with players and personnel directly involved in the success of the NBA franchise. While we aren’t completely certain if the likes of Jerry West, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Jeanie Buss directly call out HBO about their portrayals, it will still be interesting to hear how they helped build a legacy in their own words. — Terrell Smith
4. Better Call Saul series finale, Monday, August 15, 9 pm ET/PT (AMC)
After six fantastic seasons, Better Call Saul reaches its ultimate conclusion with the series finale. The show has made the scumbag lawyer from Breaking Bad into an all-time great TV character, amazingly portrayed by Bob Odenkirk. While it’s been fun to see many familiar Breaking Bad characters (ie, Jonathan Banks’ Mike, Giancarlo Esposito’s Fring and even recently Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul’s Walter and Jesse), it is the journey of Jimmy/Saul/Gene and Kim (Rhea Seehorn) that made this one of the best shows on TV during its run. We’re excited, but also sad to say goodbye. — Michael Balderston
5. Leonardo, Tuesday, August 16, 8 pm ET/PT (The CW)
Leonardo is an Italian historical fiction series that originally premiered in the UK. Aidan Turner and Freddie Highmore star in this exploration of Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci in his younger days. Stylish and imaginative, the series seeks to tell the untold story of da Vinci and who he was before his rise to fame. It might be historical fiction but it looks amazing and is very different from the usual CW fare so it’s worth checking out. — Sarabeth Pollock
6. American Horror Stories, Thursday, August 18, (Hulu)
American Horror Stories, the playfully terrifying horror anthology from American Horror Story creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, has been delivering consistently spooky stories. Now in its second season, part of the allure is not knowing what’s coming next. Every week it’s a new surprise and you don’t know what’s going to happen. While each episode stands by itself, there are lots of connections to the greater AHS universe. — Sarabeth Pollock
7. Inside the Mind of a Cat, Thursday, August 18 (Netflix)
Inside the Mind of a Cat is an all-new Netflix documentary that explores cat psychology in new and intriguing ways. Thanks to social media and the internet, cat videos have taken over the world and this documentary will no doubt help us to understand some of the reasons our furry friends do what they do. — Sarabeth Pollock
