Year: 2023

1) “Accused,” 9 p.m., Fox. This anthology again delivers an hour that is both beautifully crafted and deeply depressing. Abigail Breslin (the former child star of “Little Miss Sunshine”) and Aisha Dee (“The Bold Type”) — shown here, left and center — are perfect as young lovers who witness an atrocity in Brooklyn, then become obsessed with vengeance. There are a couple lapses in believability, but this story is compelling, emotional … and devastating. Read more…

1) “The Bachelor” finale, 8 p.m., ABC, with follow-up at 10. Zach Shallcross started with 30 women, including four nurses, a nursing student, a therapist (Charity Lawson, the next “Bachelorette” star) and a rodeo racer. Now Shallcross, 26, a 6-foot-4 sales guy from California, is down to two: Kaity Biggar (shown here with Shallcross), 27, is a Canadian travel nurse; Gabi Elnicki, 25, is a marketer from Vermont.

1) “Succession,” 9 p.m., HBO, rerunning at 10:05. One of the most honored dramas in years starts its final season. In each of its three previous ones, Jesse Armstrong has won an Emmy for his scripts; there have been 10 other wins, including – for the second and third seasons – best drama series. During that time, people have vied to be the successor to Logan Roy (Brian Cox,shown here, center), atop a media empire. Now, however, he plans to sell it all to a tech visionary. Read more…

1) Basketball and figure-skating. The 7-footers and the 5-footers each have their moments tonight. The big guys are in the college basketball tournament, at 6 and 8:30 p.m. ET on TBS, setting half of next Saturday’s final four. And the petite folks (shown here) are in the finals of the World Figure Skating Championships; that’s tape-delayed from 8-10 p.m. on NBC. For more sports, catch XFL football (7 p.m., FX) or pro hockey (Capitals-Penguins, 8 p.m. ET, ABC). Read more…

1) “Up Here” debut, Hulu. Robert Lopez has already triumphed as a composer for Broadway (“Avenue Q,” “Book of Mormon”) and — with his wife, lyricist Kristen Anderson Lopez — for movies (“Frozen,” “Coco”). Now they link with director Tommy Kail (“Hamilton”) for a gem. We see young lovers (Mae Whitman and Carlos Valdez, shown here) and hear the lingering voices in their heads. It’s a delightful musical in eight parts, all available at once. Read more…

1) Basketball. The second weekend of the college tournament begins, with only one game that fulfills predictions. That’s at 9:45 p.m. ET on CBS, when Gonzaga and UCLA (shown here), seeded No. 2 and 3 in their region; collide; at 7:15 on CBS, that region has Connecticut (No. 4) and Arkansas (No. 8). Elsewhere, TBS has Kansas State (No. 3) and Michigan State (No. 7) at 6:30 and Tennessee (No. 4) and Florida Atlantic (No. 9) at 9. Read more…
