Pose feels the love, and so, one assumes, does Love Island

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, July 9. All times are Eastern.

Top picks

Pose (FX, 10 p.m.): Tonight’s episode of Pose, written by Ryan Murphy and Janet Mock and directed by Murphy, is a particularly vital one, with terrific performances from Billy Porter, Angelica Ross, Mj Rodriguez, and Hailie Sahar in particular (though as always, the cast is great across the board). We don’t want to say too much—check the preview for “Never Knew Love Like This Before,” embedded below, for more—but there are two things to know. First, it’s a super-sized installment, so the episode won’t end until 11:21 p.m. Second, Danette Chavez’s interview with Ross will run immediately following the episode, as will Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya’s episode recap.

Love Island (CBS, 8 p.m., series premiere): Pose has “Never Knew Love Like This Before,” but Love Island has a whole damn island of love. That’s the idea, anyway. The U.S. version of the hugely popular British reality series of the same name debuts with a 90-minute first episode tonight, after which it will air five nights a week. That’s a lot of hot people dating each other in a large fancy house, on television.
