As we transition from one month to another, our Channel Surfing TV picks continues to plug along. Prepare for more absurd comedy when I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson returns. See what Broadchurch would be if the crime drama had a funny edge with Deadloch. Then, The Weeknd steps away from music to star in his own series, The Idol.
It’s Showtime!
