TV Top Picks This Week
Don’t Miss: “Glow” — As the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling return for Round 2, they’re confronting the good, the bad, and the ugly realities that come with being fresh-faced, basic-cable celebrities. Meanwhile, Ruth and Debbie settle into the dayto-day rigors of making the show together while dealing with the thorny issues that continue to plague their friendship. Also, Sam is getting even crankier now that he has a teen daughter to care for and 20 episodes of lowbudget TV to churn out. The wrestling is harder, the stakes are higher, and the hair is even bigger. (Friday, Netflix).
Other bets:
Sunday: Season 3 of “Preacher” follows Jesse’s quest for God, which takes him back to the place he’s been avoiding all his life: home. Also, Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy return to Angelville, the Louisiana Plantation where Jesse was raised, and find that old grudges and deadly obligations await them. (10 p.m., AMC).
Monday: “Cultureshock” is a fivepart documentary series that promises to take an in-depth look at the untold stories behind watershed moments in pop culture. Tonight’s opener examines pop star Michael Jackson’s final days before his shocking death. (9 p.m., A&E).

(8 p.m., CBS).
Thursday: The thrilling first season of “Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger” continues as Tandy is consumed with getting answers about the Roxxon cover-up. Tyrone, on the other hand, is focusing on being a normal kid as the basketball state finals approach. (8 p.m., Freeform).
Friday: Dean Cain returns to host another season of “Masters of Illusion,” the series that shines a spotlight on magicians and escape artists who dabble in all sorts of hocus-pocus. Better watch before the show vanishes into thin air. (8 p.m., The CW).
Saturday: Viewers with a fear of clowns would be wise to avoid “It,” the 2017 big-screen adaptation of Stephen King’s horror novel about a group of kids who are terrorized by a malevolent force. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. (8 p.m., HBO).
