Welcome to the weekend edition of What’s On. Here are the big things happening on TV from Friday, August 4 to Sunday, August 6. All times are Eastern. [Note: The weekly What’s On will publish on Sundays.]
1. Sigourney Weaver stars in The Lost Flowers Of Alice Hart
Prime Video, Friday, 12:01 a.m.: In the limited series The Lost Flowers Of Alice Hart, Sigourney Weaver teams up with Fear The Walking Dead and The 100 star Alycia Debnam-Carey. The seven-episode drama follows Alice Hart, who moves in with her grandmother after her parents die in a suspicious fire. As an adult, she uncovers secrets about her family history that threaten to upend her life. Asher Keddie, Leah Purcell, and Frankie Adams co-star. Here’s a bit from The A.V. Club’s review:
Set against some of Australia’s most breathtaking natural landscapes, which are beautifully and hauntingly captured by cinematographer Sam Chiplin, the series unfolds a lot like a mystery novel, with flashbacks woven throughout to contextualize the women’s actions and conflicting motivations.
