TV Lists What's On Tonight
Mondays are all about superheroes and crimefighters

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Monday, November 20. All times are Eastern.

Top pick

Lucifer (Fox, 8 p.m.): Technically, tonight’s top pick is Lucifer, in part because of its delightfully racy title: “Chloe Does Lucifer.” The eighth episode of the third season also centers on a murder, a dating app, and social media, if you’re into any of those things.

But, as we look out at the listings, a different winner emerges—namely, the superhero/crimefighter. There’s Kara Danvers, the Strucker kids (who are just trying to stay alive, but stay with us here), Frank Castle, and Josh Futturman, who are all trying to make the world a better place—even if, in some cases, it’s just for themselves.

Supergirl (The CW, 8 p.m.)
The Gifted (Fox, 9 p.m.)
Marvel’s The Punisher (Netflix)
Future Man (Hulu)

Wild card

Gotham (Netflix; new episodes Thursdays on Fox): In keeping with our theme, we suggest diving into this street-level comic-book adaptation. Kyle Fowle says the new season is defined by its “patient, dynamic storytelling,” which is certainly an upgrade from seasons past. Due to the holiday, there won’t be a new episode this week, but that just gives you more time to get caught up.
