Best TV, streaming picks for coming week

DON’T MISS: The 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards — Jimmy Kimmel is our virtual host for a socially distanced Emmy telecast that will look like no other. Kimmel will do the gig from Staples Center, but there will be no audience (or red carpet), and winners will deliver acceptance speeches from home. (8 p.m., Sunday, ABC). Other bets:

MONDAY: After premiering on the Spectrum cable system, the crime series “LA’s Finest” makes its broadcast network debut. A spinoff from the “Bad Boys” movie franchise, it follows Syd Burnett

(Gabrielle Union) and Nancy McKenna (Jessica Alba), two newly partnered LAPD detectives with messy pasts. (8 p.m., Fox).

TUESDAY: “Frontline” airs its election-year special “The Choice.” The two-hour program offers interwoven investigat­ive biographie­s of Donald Trump and Joe Biden through interviews with those who know them best. Included: Mary Trump, Valerie Biden Owens, Rudy Giuliani, John Bolton and many more. (9 p.m., PBS).

WEDNESDAY: “I Can See Your Voice” puts another weird twist on a singing contest. Host Ken Jeong and celebrity panelists help a contestant weed out the bad singers from six “Secret Voices,” based on clues, interrogat­ion and lip sync challenges. Yeah, we don’t get it, either. (8 p.m., Fox).

FRIDAY: Gillian Flynn (“Gone Girl”) returns to TV with “Utopia.” It’s an audacious eight-part conspiracy thriller about a group of nerds obsessed with a comic book that could contain clues about dire threats to humanity. The cast includes John Cusack and Rainn Wilson. (Amazon Prime).
