What’s on TV
CHERISH THE DAY 10 p.m. on OWN. After creating the OWN family drama “Queen Sugar,” Ava DuVernay was invited to bring another show to the network. The result is this new anthology series. The season follows the relationship of a single couple, each episode focusing on a momentous, single day they share together. The premiere stars Xosha Roquemore (“The Mindy Project”) and Alano Miller (“Underground”) as a couple in Los Angeles who, over the course of several years, forge a deep connection and face hurdles that challenge their relationship.
ALI & CAVETT: THE TALE OF THE TAPES (2020) 9 p.m. on HBO; stream on HBO platforms. Some might say Muhammad Ali was made for prime-time television. In the 1960s and ’70s, the boxer made more than a dozen appearances on “The Dick Cavett Show.” He was charismatic, witty and, at times, provocative. But as a guest on the show, he also brought light to social injustices against black people at a time when the United States was convulsed by racial tension. This new documentary offers a window into Ali’s mind through clips of those appearances — in which he thoughtfully shared his political, social and religious views — and provides context using interviews with authors, civil rights activists, sports commentators and Cavett himself.
FOR LIFE 10 p.m. on ABC. This new legal drama, co-produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, is loosely inspired by the case of Isaac Wright Jr., a man who was wrongfully convicted of masterminding a drug distribution network in New Jersey in the 1990s. In the series, Aaron (Nicholas Pinnock) is serving a life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit, and believes the only way out is to take on his own case. He devotes several years to studying to become a lawyer and, later, defends other inmates while trying to overturn his own conviction. He treads the complicated and corrupt system with the help of a progressive warden (Indira Varma of “Game of Thrones”) and the motivation to return to his wife and teenage daughter.
What’s Streaming
CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS EPIC CHOICE-O-RAMA Stream on Netflix. Pants or no pants? The quirky children’s superhero returns in this new interactive special, which gives viewers the power to help grade schoolers Harold (voiced by Ramone Hamilton) and George (Jay Gragnani) stop Principal Krupp (Nat Faxon) from destroying their treehouse. Netflix presented this “choose-your-own-adventure” method in an episode of “Black Mirror” in 2018. The stakes may not be as high here, but the beloved cartoon is sure to entertain adults and children alike.
BANCROFT Stream on BritBox. If you prefer bad cops over good cops (on television, that is), consider streaming this fast-paced British thriller. Season 1 introduced us to Elizabeth Bancroft (Sarah Parish), a detective who harbors a dangerous secret and steps over many lines to keep a colleague from discovering it. Season 2 picks up after Bancroft gets her promotion, her hands seemingly wiped clean of a murder. Critics have said the show hovers between silly and absurd, which, depending on your taste, can only add to its entertainment value.
