Tonight is the 90-minute series premiere of The Fourth Estate on Showtime at 7:30/6:30c. This documentary series about The New York Times in the Trump era illuminates critical issues facing journalism today. A chief task for The Times, long considered the “newspaper of record,” is to find the best way to accurately and honestly cover this unconventional president, even as he tries to undermine them. Through extraordinary access and exclusive interviews, Oscar® nominated filmmaker Liz Garbus chronicles the tenacious men and women in the trenches who are fighting for the freedom of the press and America’s right to know.
Tonight is also the series premiere of 1968: The Year That Changed America on CNN at 9/8c, followed by a 2nd new episode at 10/9c. The four-part docuseries goes back 50 years to explore 1968, a year marked by seismic shifts in American politics, social movements, global relations and cultural icons that changed the modern landscape. Using never-before-seen archival footage and contemporary interviews with journalists, historians, and notable figures, the series maps the tumultuous events of the entire year, from the assassinations of MLK and RFK to escalating anti-Vietnam War sentiment and civil rights struggles. The special comes from executive producers Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman, & Mark Herzog.

Tonight is the series premiere of 100 Code on WGN at 10/9c. From New York to Sweden, young, blonde and blue-eyed women have been found dead in a meadow of the past 12 months. New York Detective Tommy Conley gets a special dispensation from the NYPD to go observe and act as an adviser to the Stockholm Police Department in order to help solve the heinous crimes. 100 Code stars Dominic Monaghan and Michael Nyqvist.
Tonight is also the series premiere of Hunting Isis on History Channel at 10/9c. The terrorist organization known as ISIS emerged as a menace in the Middle East years before most in the West took notice of their attacks abroad. More brutal than Al Qaeda before them, ISIS took advantage of chaos caused by Syria’s still-raging Civil War and the United States’ withdrawal from Iraq to recruit heavily in the region. In 2014, the world watched as they swept across Iraq and Syria, capturing wide territories and ruthlessly killing or enslaving anyone who showed signs of resistance as they declared themselves the “Islamic State.†Local forces backed by a U.S.-led coalition of western military powers began fighting back, but progress has taken years. Not content to sit back and watch ISIS devastate the Middle East from afar, scores of western volunteers have since traveled to region to join the fight against the terrorist group. Through the eyes of American fighters embedded with the Kurdish YPG militia in Syria, and medics supporting a coalition of local forces in Iraq, “Hunting ISIS†follows these men as they begin the difficult push to retake ISIS’ capital cities. Completely unpaid and unsupported by their governments, western volunteers have many reasons for joining the fight. Some are military veterans craving the familiar adrenaline rush and brotherhood of combat, who shoulder a sense of unfinished business in the Middle East. Some are civilians eager to test their mettle while searching for a greater purpose. All are united in their determination to defend the innocent and end the atrocities being committed by ISIS. With unprecedented access, this documentary series witnesses their unique role in one of the defining conflicts of our time, exploring what’s driving these men to war.

Tonight is the series premiere of C.B. Strike on Cinemax at 10/9c. C.B. Strike is a war veteran turned private detective who operates out of a tiny office in London’s Denmark Street. Although wounded both physically and psychologically, his unique insight and background as a military police investigator prove crucial in solving complex crimes that have baffled the police. It’s based on the bestselling novels written by Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. Tom Burke (Only God Forgives) stars as private detective Cormoran Strike and Holliday Grainger (The Borgias) stars as Robin Ellacott, his new assistant and protégé. C.B. Strike launches with three one-hour episodes based on “The Cuckoo’s Calling,” the first book in the trilogy, followed by adaptations of the remaining two books, “The Silkworm” and “Career of Evil,” both of which consist of two one-hour episodes.
