    Poker Face (season 2 premiere) (3:01 am, Peacock)

    Rian Johnson's Colombo-influenced mystery-of-the-week anthology series starring Natasha Lyonne as a woman (with unusual lie-detecting
    abilities) on the run across America returns for a second season today.
    Once again you can expect a tremendous lineup of guest stars: This
    season's roster includes Cynthia Erivo, Giancarlo Esposito, Sam
    Richardson, Justin Theroux, Kumail Nanjiani, Melanie Lynskey, Margo Martindale, B.J. Novak, Awkwafina, Alia Shawkat, Carol Kane, John Cho, Natasha Leggero, John Mulaney, Richard Kind, Taylor Schilling, Rhea
    Perlman, Simon Helberg, Haley Joel Osment, Ego Nwodim, Geraldine Viswanathan, David Alan Grier, Method Man, Katie Holmes, and more. 12 episodes, with three streaming today, followed by weekly single-episode releases through July 10.

    One of those shows I might watch, if I had unlimited time. But I have
    much *less* time for TV viewing these days. Heck, it's rapidly
    approaching only about 1-hour of serious TV viewing a day right now!

    Criminal Minds: Evolution (season 3 premiere) (3:01 am, Paramount+)

    The new season picks up six months after prisoners attack the notorious Sicarius Killer, Elias Voit, leading his restless followers on the dark
    web to begin wreaking havoc all over the country. The BAU is forced to
    work alongside an increasingly unpredictable Voit who has his own
    agenda. Ten episodes released weekly through July 10. Season 4 has been ordered.

    See "Poker Face", above.


    Broadcast and cable:


    The Jane Mysteries: Murder at Moseby (movie; linear premiere)
    (8 pm, Hallmark Mystery)

    Jane goes undercover at her alma mater to help her college boyfriend
    solve a crime he may have witnessed years ago ­ during the annual Edgar Allan Poe Festival. Stars Jodie Sweetin and Stephen Huszar. The third of four "Jane Mysteries" titles; originally released on September 19, 2024,
    on Hallmark Movies Now (now Hallmark+).

    It really shows how bad Hallmark has gotten/how far it has fallen that
    it has the unappealing Sweetin headlining a movie series for them.

    games and fantasizing about her forever crush Max Warren (Matt Cornett). When she discovers that Max is finally single in the last week of

    an effort to go from 0 to 69, Abby makes the impulsive decision to

    Jen, who is finally pregnant after several rounds of fertility
    treatments, visits her in-laws with her husband Spencer, but her happy moment is shattered when a family member is found dead, and she
    overhears Spencer lying to police about where he was that night. Things
    go from bad to worse when she finds out the man who died was trying to
    get her a message: her unborn baby isn’t biologically her husband’s. On a mission to discover who the father is, she discovers the donor was the
    man who was murdered … and that there’s a chance her husband is behind it all. Is she in danger, too? Yoshi Bancroft and Clayton James star.

    illustrates how the famous country music mother-daughter duo of Naomi

    Naomi and Wynonna’s fame. Untold truths emerge, illustrating what tied them together, and what also drove them a part. Featuring intimate interviews with many Judd family members, including Wynonna, Ashley, and Naomi’s widower Larry Strickland, the doc also speaks to Naomi’s closest friends and colleagues including Reba McEntire and Don Potter. Exclusive access to rare family footage and photos, unreleased songs, and
    voicemails that the Judd women left for one another further illustrate
    the unique relationship between mothers and daughters, the cyclical
    nature of generational trauma and the strength of familial bonds.
