TODAY’S HIGHLIGHTS
8 PM ( LIFE) MOVIE A Murder
to Remember Inspired by
Ann Rule’s true-crime collection “Empty Promises,” this new docudrama chronicles how Robin Rivera (Maddie Nichols) finds herself in a dire situation when her husband dies while they’re on a first-anniversary camping trip. Lost and alone in the rugged wilderness, Robin accepts help from Sam (TC Matherne), another camper she runs into — but as events unfold, it’s unclear whether Sam is protecting Robin or manipulating her to his own ends. Kevin Rodriguez, Carolyn McCormick and Leslie Hendrix co-star.
9 PM G Taskmaster This International, Emmy Award-nominated — but decidedly unconventional — game show is a British import starring U.K. actor and comic
Greg Davies as the titular, allpowerful Taskmaster who doles out simple but bizarre tasks for five contestants, generally some of his other comedy colleagues. Those tasks usually are performed solo, but occasionally in teams. While simple, these chores are designed to encourage the players to think “laterally” and creatively.
9 PM ( HIST) Hiroshima: 75 Years
Later Marking the 75th anniversary of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon in wartime and the end of World War II, this new two-hour special explores the moral, scientific and military conundrums of the A-bomb as experienced by those closest to the experience. Told entirely from the first-person perspectives of leaders, physicists, soldiers and survivors, the documentary strives to provide a highly personal understanding of what arguably is the most devastating experiment in human history.
9 PM ( HBO) Perry Mason Hoping to expose the connection between the sky-high debt load of the Radiant Assembly and the ransom money being demanded by Charlie’s kidnappers, Mason (Matthew Rhys) puts Herman Baggerly (Robert Patrick) on the stand in the new “Chapter Seven.” Church elders step up their pressure on Sister Alice (Tatiana Maslany) about her promises for a “resurrection.” Strickland loses track of a key witness, but Drake’s detective work opens up a new avenue in the case.
