LITTLE WOMEN
​Series final ★★★½
7.30pm, ABC

The real genius of Louisa May Alcott is the way she managed to transcend time and place – and certainly plot – to tap into something essential about the experience of being female in all its stages. Certainly Little Women has well and truly stood the test of time and as this affectionate and polished adaptation from Call the Midwife's Heidi Thomas draws to a close you're guaranteed to be sighing and smiling through your tears.

THE FAMILY LAW
★★★
8.30pm, SBS

Yes, this is the story of Ben Law's growing up, and, this season, coming out. But it's the delightful Fiona Choi as mum Jenny who frequently steals the show and that's certainly the case in tonight's first episode. Wayne persuades the Law clan to join his family on a camping trip. That provides both the slapstick and the observational comedy. But it's Jenny's relationship struggles that provide the ballast, as they do in the second episode that ostensibly revolves around Ben's high school dance.

THE PEANUTS MOVIE
​Movie ★★★½
Seven, 7pm

If – like just about everyone of a certain generation – you grew up steeped in Peanuts lore, you will love-love-love this contemporary adaptation of key Peanuts storylines, written by two of Charles Schultz's sons. But even if you're an actual kid, Charlie Brown is the kind of character who's infinitely relatable – as are his quotidian troubles – and the rest of the stuff (like Snoopy's battle with the Red Baron) is both kooky enough and well-enough produced to entertain regardless of whether you know the backstory.
