1) “Great Performances,” 9-10:30 p.m., PBS. Here is pure, passionate music. Backed by great Nashville musicians, 18 women and two groups perform the songs of Patsy Cline. Most are very good and a some are great, especially Wynonna (shown here in a previous performance), capturing the emotional power of “Sweet Dreams” and “Crazy.”
2) “The Piano Lesson,” Netflix. August Wilson’s powerful play tells of Boy Willie, desperate to trade family history for a patch of land. It’s been on Broadway twice, been a TV movie and now a streaming movie. John David Washington and Samuel L. Jackson repeat their Broadway roles, with the former’s father (Denzel) and siblings in non-acting duties.
3) More streaming. On the day theaters return to life (“Wicked,” “Gladiator II”), streaming debuts director Steve McQueen’s “Blitz” on Hulu. Also “Joy” (about in vitro fertilization) and the animated “Spellbound” on Netflix. Earlier this week, there was Barack Obama’s “Our Oceans” on Netflix and the superb start of “Interior Chinatown” on Hulu.
4) “Lopez vs. Lopez,” 8:30 p.m., NBC. To its credit, this confronts gender bias, especially as it relates to Latinas. To its discredit, it mixes good lines with loudly overwrought ones. This follows a “Happy’s Place” that has Bobbie and her half-sister looking through their late father’s house.
5) “Fire Country,” 9 p.m., CBS. The squad has two priorities – keep a fire from reaching town and protect an eagles’ nest. That’s followed by one of the final “Blue Bloods” episodes. Next week, the show has a celebration of its past; then its last new hours will be Dec. 6 and 13
