HARROW
★★
8.30pm, ABC
As we inch maddeningly closer to finding out whether or not our erudite hero, forensic pathologist Dr Daniel Harrow (Ioan Gruffudd) is himself a killer, we're again sidetracked by another gruesome find, this time on train tracks. There's an uncomfortable storyline about evil, sex-crazed Chinese tycoons taking our land and our women. Meanwhile, Harrow's daughter Fern (Ella Newton), continues to skulk and sulk.
Harrow.
ATLANTA
★★★★
9.25pm, SBS Viceland
It's party time for the Atlanta boys with big dreams as Earn (Donald Glover) and Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry) head out on the town with the sole intention of generating some social media hype about Alfred (aka Paper Boi) in order to boost his rap career. Fast, funny and fluid, this sharp streetwise dramady, now in its second season, just keeps getting better.
MOVIE: THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
★★★★
8pm, NITV
Before Matt Lucas, Matt Gatiss and co. put their stamp on Kenneth Grahame's beloved children's classic in 2006, Ratty, Mole and Toad got the Monty Python treatment in 1996. Written, directed by and starring Terry Jones (as Toad), this is a particularly hysterical version of the story, also starring Steve Coogan (as Mole), Eric Idle (as Rat) and Nicol Williamson (as Badger). Never has messing about in boats been such a lark.
