Pose (FX, 10 p.m.): Last week’s Pose was quite the to-do. Here’s Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya in her “A” review of Steven Canals’ directorial debut:

“Families fight,” Blanca tells Angel in “Revelations.” It’s the most succinct summary of the episode, which deftly examines the ways secrets, lies, and betrayals destabilize families. Pose so often deals with family… But more often on the show, that means looking at the way ball culture creates queer family structures and how these characters have built communities of their own to protect and nurture each other…. No family is perfect, and that includes chosen families.

And in “Revelations,” it gets ugly.
