Tyrant ponders the true meaning of brotherly love: Execution or life imprisonment?
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Tuesday, June 16. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Tyrant (FX, 10 p.m.): Look, all of us out there who happen to have a sibling know a little something about rivalries and competitions, and how sometimes there’s just no good way to resolve differences than with a little coup d’etat. That’s just opening up healthy lines of communication! But yeah, it does kind of leave the other sibling in that tricky situation of executing one’s own bro or just leaving him to rot in prison. Joshua Alston will wrestle with these universal moral quandaries in his pre-air review.
Also noted
Finding Carter (MTV, 10 p.m.): With Inside Amy Schumer off another week, Finding Carter is all that’s left of the once robust Tuesday night regular coverage lineup. Which could be a very good or a very bad thing, depending on which version of Finding Carter shows up in a given week. Only a fool would predict the episode quality of a show this mercurial, and Joshua Alston is no … well, he’s not going to predict the quality of this episode, okay?

Will Harris calls up Bradley Whitford for another installment of Random Roles, so this is as good a time as any to remind you that Bradley Whitford is in every damn thing: The West Wing, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Trophy Wife, The X-Files, The Sarah Silverman Program, The Good Guys, Transparent, and so, so many more. Meanwhile, Marah Eakin talks to music supervisor extraordinaire Alexandra Patsavas about picking just the right song for shows ranging from The O.C. to Mad Men.
