Welcome to Sweden welcomes another season
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Sunday, July 19th. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Welcome to Sweden (NBC, 8 p.m.): Greg Poehler (indeed of the Boston Poehlers)’s semi-autobiographical series quietly stole hearts last summer, and it is now returning to do much of the same. Molly Eichel has an encouraging preview up now, and Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya will be taking on the Nordic series weekly from here on out.
Also noted
Golan the Insatiable (Fox, 9:30 p.m.): While the rest of Fox’s Sunday night comedy block took the summer off, Golan the Insatiable picked up the slack with its plucky and deeply twisted charm. Tonight caps off a short and sweet six episode run, so do an intergalactic warlord (Rob Riggle) and his devoted goth kid acolyte (Aubrey Plaza) a solid and join Caroline Framke for the season finale, won’t you?
Boston Trauma (ABC, 10 p.m.): An in-depth look at the hospitals of Boston and the staggering trauma their professionals deal with from the creators of acclaimed docuseries NY Med and Boston Med. In other words, bleak and serious and real enough that making a joke like “and what percentage of the cases are thanks to bar fights?” is tasteless, but ultimately irresistible.
