TODAY’S HIGHLIGHTS
8 PM ^ The Durrells in Corfu on
Masterpiece An international hit, this autobiographical comedydrama closes out its four-season run with a finale that sees Larry (Josh O’Connor) return home with news that Europe is teetering on the brink of war. With the family’s future in Corfu uncertain, a disheartened Gerry (Milo Parker) is instructed to dismantle his zoo and set the animals free. Louisa (Keeley Hawes) is reunited with Spiros (Alexis Georgoulis), but almost immediately is compelled by tragic news to return to England without him.
8 PM ( BRV) The Real Housewives
of Atlanta Kenya Moore is back and bolder than ever as this hit reality season returns for Season 12. She may have gotten what she wanted with her husband and baby, but her roller coaster relationship may be approaching an end. Elsewhere, fan favorite NeNe Leakes has returned to her husband, who is now cancer-free, but her reunion with some of her old friends is fraught with past grievances. Among those frenemies is Cynthia Bailey, still building her empire with the opening of Bailey Wine Cellar.
8 PM ( LIFE) MOVIE Always and
Forever Christmas After Lucy Bowers (Lexi Lawson), a brand marketing professional, inherits her grandfather’s year-round Christmas store in Stowe, Vt., she decides to return home to support the business during its final big holiday season, after which she’ll sell the store to a leisurewear company. During her visit, however, Scott Jensen (Mark Ghanimé), a local diner owner, helps Lucy understand what makes this family store so special, assisted by a stranger (Beth Broderick) from “up north.”
9 PM ( SHO) The Affair The title may be somewhat generic, but this splendidly acted TV drama earned critical kudos and multiple Golden Globe Awards during its five-season run, with both Maura Tierney and original leading lady Ruth Wilson picking up trophies along the way. Wilson’s character is no longer part of the show, but Tierney, Dominic West and their colleagues are still turning in firstrate performances as the drama airs its series finale, which sees everything coming full circle on Whitney’s (Julia Goldani Telles) wedding day.
