Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig present a Lifetime goof (unless they’re as serious as… A Deadly Adoption)

Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
A Deadly Adoption (Lifetime, 8 p.m., Saturday): At first we thought it was real. Then it seemed like an April Fools’ Day prank. But now this Will Ferrell/Kristen Wiig Lifetime movie has actually arrived, with the SNL alums playing a seemingly perfect couple whose attempts to adopt running into some serious The Hand That Rocks The Cradle territory. Speaking of serious—is this just a goof? If so, is the goof that Wiig and Ferrell are going to play the whole thing completely straight? If that’s so, is this the greatest conceptual bit of all time? And even if it’s an astounding act of Andy Kaufman-esque provocation, is the joke sustainable for 90 minutes? The trailer offers no clues, but Joshua Alston is confident he can define just what the hell this thing is.
Also noted
Catastrophe (Amazon, noon): The online-retail giant with showbiz aspirations snuck this charming little import under the radar—but nothing gets past Molly Eichel. She’ll be tracking Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s adventures in pregnancy every Friday for the next five weeks.
Childrens Hospital (Adult Swim, 11:59 p.m., Friday): LaToya Ferguson returns just in time for the sixth season to exit, with Blake’s decision that he’s had enough of the “kick me” signs, meaning that, perhaps, the door won’t hit Childrens Hospital on the way out.
Orphan Black (BBC America, 9 p.m., Saturday): And Caroline Framke returns to watch Orphan Black leave us all cloneless and bereft for a whole year. Last week: surprising revelations about the Castor original had Sarah, Felix, and Mrs. S. all flummoxed. This week: so much more flummoxing. Plus, Helena’s killing guys again. After you’ve absorbed the finale (and Caroline Framke’s review thereof), check out Caroline’s season-overview interview with Orphan Black co-creator Graeme Manson for the skinny on season three.
Star Wars Rebels (Disney XD, 9 p.m., Saturday): Kevin Johnson’s back on the Rebels beat for this second season premiere. Then the show goes away until the fall for some reason. Kevin was feeling all rebellious, too.
Power (Starz, 9 p.m., Saturday): Ghost and Angela take a trip to Miami and pretend they’re a real couple. While that’s nice and all, as Joshua Alston’s review pointed out last week, Ghost’s double life isn’t really conducive to long-term happiness:
Power is about the uncomfortable relationship between fantasy and reality. Ghost feeds his customers’ high-life fantasies at Truth, with VIP treatment and cascading Ciroc, then indulges them further with top-shelf cocaine. But the glamorous life comes with some awfully ugly consequences: relationship instability, addiction, legal woes, financial ruin, and overexposure to the music of Pitbull. Part of what makes Power such a tragedy is that Ghost isn’t just the owner; he’s also a client. He’s every bit as addicted to a fantasy as his customers, one with grave consequences not only for him, but for his family and for anyone connected to his massive empire. And like any addict, Ghost goes to great extremes to justify his reckless behavior and keep the good times rolling.
