What to Watch on Monday: We get three new Fall TV premieres tonight
LA’s Finest (8 p.m., Fox) - This new Fall 2020 series isn’t technically new — it premiered last year on Spectrum (after being rejected by NBC) — but it’s new to broadcast network TV, and it stars Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba as tough Los Angeles detectives.
Filthy Rich (9 p.m., Fox) - Kim Cattrall (“Sex and the City”) stars in this Fox soap as the matriarch of a super rich televangelist family in Louisiana. Think “Righteous Gemstones” (HBO) Light. It also stars Gerald McRaney and Raleigh native Aubrey Dollar.
Manhunt: Deadly Games (10 p.m., CBS) - This brand new series is a scripted true crime anthology that launches with the hunt for the person who bombed the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Security guard Richard Jewell was first wrongly accused of the bombing, and the FBI then turned their attention to the American terrorist and serial bomber Eric Rudolph, a former Army specialist eventually captured in North Carolina. Cameron Britton, Jack Huston, Gethin Anthony, Carla Gugino, Arliss Howard, Kelly Jenrette and Judith Light star.
Dateline NBC (10 p.m., NBC) - Josh Mankiewicz reports on the mysterious disappearance of a Colorado rancher, whose friends think something isn’t right and they spend years fighting for answers.
In My Blood It Runs (10 p.m., PBS / UNC-TV) - This POV documentary, set in Australia’s Northern Territory, follows Dujuan, a young Aborginal boy with a spiritual connection to, and vast knowledge of, his cultural ancestry. At home in Alice Springs, Dujuan is surrounded by his loving family, which includes his mother, his two brothers, and his maternal grandmother Nana Carol, with whom he has a special bond.
Bang (Acorn) - After a two year break, the second season of this UK drama returns with ambitious police officer Gina Jenkins and her longtime partner, Luke Lloyd attempt to solve a series of murders by a serial killer targeting the men named in a rape case from 10 years ago. This is the US premiere and the whole season is available today.
