What To Watch – Monday, May 14, 2018

Mondays are reliably one of the best nights for quality TV all night. We start with new Supergirl, then new The Terror (in a super-sized episode) and end with James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction at 10p. We’re keeping  The Crossing in the recommend list even though its been cancelled because, well there is nothing else going on just then.  What are you watching tonight?
