Welcome to What’s On, our weekly roundup of notable shows. Here is what’s happening from Sunday, November 10 to Thursday, November 14. All times are Eastern. [Note: The weekend edition of What’s On drops on Fridays.]
The biggies
St. Denis Medical (NBC, Tuesday, 8 p.m.)
The team behind Superstore cooked up this wholesome mockumentary, which takes place in the ER of an underfunded hospital and follows its overworked staff. The impressive ensemble includes the likes of Wendi McLendon-Covey, Allison Tolman, David Alan Grier, Mekki Leeper, and Kaliko Kauahi. Check out The A.V. Club‘s review of the show.
Say Nothing (FX on Hulu, Thursday, 12:01 a.m.)
Based on Patrick Radden Keefe’s acclaimed book, Say Nothing chronicles The Troubles in Northern Ireland, centering largely on two sisters (played by Lola Petticrew and Hazel Doupe) who become key players in the IRA. Anthony Boyle and Josh Finan co-star. Here’s a bit from The A.V. Club‘s review:
Something about the production (it could be the reliance on a score that, at times, double-underlines the tick-tock drama and trauma these people are absorbing) doesn’t quite suck you in like the book does, even as it deploys well-choreographed, high-octane chases and attempts to stick faithfully to the source material.
Cross (Prime Video, Thursday, 12:01 a.m.)
