Your New Voice In Our Pop Culture Dominated World.
The Alienist, Good Girls, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, these are things to make Monday a little better. Plus, because we have run out of ideas, you can now watch BOTH The Voice and American Idol … in 2018. At the same time. What is even happening in this world?!?
The Magicians, a show that has made a name for itself by producing strong, emotionally charged stories delivered in unpredictable and unconventional ways sets a new bar for itself tonight with multiple in show performances of songs featuring the entire cast.
Some shows would do this and it comes off gimmicky. When The Magicians does something like this, it feels organic and you think, “yes, of course, that makes sense to me” because that is just how well done this show is created, written, and acted.
Enjoy our deep dive recap and review … after the jump!!

I suggest you tape shows tonight and go watch A Wrinkle of Time in the theaters but what to tape? We’ve got you covered. New MacGyver, Dynasty and MasterChef Junior are all fun choices in the 8pm hour though Mac is our Man! At 9pm, we’re showing Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. the 100th episode love but also, we’re adding in Live PD which social media tells us is fantastic. Its also THEIR 100th episode so, weird! At 10pm, ELeague crowns a champion!!
Black Lightning

Brand new Gotham and Arrow lead the night along with new Supernatural and the series premiere of a new trucking show on History, Truck Night in America.

At 9pm, our Top Pick To Watch is The Magicians – its the music episode but its so much more than that! Also at 9pm, 2 new series, Life Sentence on The CW (which we may hopefully be covering here at PCR) and The Men Who Built America over on History, a must for history buffs! At 10pm,

Monday Nights are a great time for TV; with the addition of Good Girls (and maybe McMafia, we’re adding it to our test bubble list) in the 10pm slot, we continue to have multiple quality dramas in that hour; The Alienist continues to be supreme entertainment in the 9pm hour and at 8pm, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow have a bunch more episodes before their season runs dry.
Before you watch The Alienist tonight, make sure you’re caught up on all of the explosive action from last week’s episode with our Deep Dive Recap & Review Here!
Not on the official What To Watch cause its really niche but the final 3 original episodes of Star Wars: Rebels airs tonight on Disney XD, beginning at 8:30pm. Time to say goodbye to Ezra and the crew of the Ghost.
Listen, we hate award shows but you do a Movie and TV related website, you cannot really ignore the Oscars; Dumpster Fire though it may be. So, below, the list of Winners for the 90th Academy Awards, which was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
For what its worth, I went 4 for 9 on the categories I wagered on. I underestimated greatly the power of a fish love story.
