Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Sunday, October 6. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Succession (HBO, 9 p.m): Here’s the thing. This is the busiest TV day in a long, long time. Tonight, Rami Malek and Mr. Robot return for one last season, and The Walking Dead continues its 10-season shamble through your living room. Supergirl drops in with a brand-new look, Batwoman rolls into Gotham and the Arrowverse, and if we’re lucky, we’re due for another rendition of “Misbehavin’” on The Righteous Gemstones. And that’s a far from complete list. How do you choose when there’s just so, so much television?
Well, you watch the trailer below, and realize Succession is confirming, once and for all, the spelling of “Wambsgans.”
That’s as good a reason as any. Besides, this looks like a most eventful episode, and it’s also the penultimate hour of the season, so while it probably doesn’t include another rap, it’s definitely an episode we’re not going to miss. Like Dundee, Randall Colburn’s recap will soon be in the motherfucking house.
