The top pick for the night is the HBO documentary “I Am Evidence,” produced by Mariska
Hargitay and a hit of several film festivals this year and last. The film, codirected by Trish Adlesic and Geeta Gandbhir, focuses on the alarming number of unprocessed rape evidence kits in the country and how that affects victims whose attackers cannot be prosecuted. We meet four women, from Detroit, Los Angeles and Cleveland, whose cases remain unsolved because of the backlog in rape kit processing. Only eight states currently require that all rape kits be tested — Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas. California is not on that list. The film airs at 8 p.m. New episodes of “Supergirl” resume on the CW at 8 p.m. Paramount (formerly Spike TV) will begin airing the series “It Was Him: The Many Murders of Ed Edwards: The Killer
Gene” at 9 p.m. It’s a six-episode cold case docuseries. “American Murder Mystery” looks at the death of Natalie Wood on the ID channel at 10 p.m. The fourth season of “Scorpion” wraps up on CBS at 10 p.m. The History Channel takes a look at the Boston Marathon bombing in “The Days That Shaped America” at 10:03 p.m. Viceland airs “Portraits With Yung Jake” at 11:30 p.m. about a young Los Angeles artist who creates emoji portraits. Acorn TV offers the first season of the femaledriven police procedural “No Offence.” It was created by Paul Abbott, who also created the exquisite “State of Play.” The comedy drama is set Manchester and follows a team of unorthodox cops. Joanna Scanlan and Elaine Cassidy star. Also from Acorn, the exclusive streaming of “Killer Net,” another one from the prolific Lynda La Plante, creator of “Prime Suspect.” Tam Williams stars as a psychology student who becomes involved with a woman he meets on the Internet. After she dumps him, he becomes obsessed with her and gets hooked on a computer game called “Killer Net,” where participants commit virtual murder.
