Saturday on TV – 7/10/21

Overnight was the premiere of the special Wild Tokyo on AMC+. It may be the largest and most densely populated city on Earth, but Tokyo’s 14 million human residents share their home with an astonishing array of wildlife. From jewel beetles and goshawks in the city’s shrines to the forests of Okutama where bears, monkeys and tanuki feast, this film reveals the power of nature in Japan’s capital as it attracts the world’s attention around the Summer Olympic Games.
 
Tonight is the 2-hour documentary special Shark Terror: USS Indianapolis on Reelz at 8/7c. Nine hundred men adrift at sea hundreds of miles from land, battling the elements along with man-eating sharks — and even each other.
 
Tonight is the Hallmark movie Crashing Through the Snow at 9/8c. Maggie (Amy Acker) and her ex-husband, Jeff (Kristian Bruun, Orphan Black), have always been friends first. When Jeff’s new girlfriend, Kate (Brooke Nevin, Jingle Around the Clock), spontaneously invites Maggie along to their Christmas getaway in Aspen, she jumps at the chance to spend a Yuletide holiday away with her two daughters. Although Maggie feels like a third wheel crashing their Christmas, she’s not alone as Kate’s hapless brother, Sam (Warren Christie, Alphas, Motive), shows up unannounced with a plan. Always seeming to live in Kate’s shadow, Sam, for once, wants to come out ahead, and he convinces Maggie that, together, they can compete with Kate and make this Christmas the best one ever. Neither of them is adequately prepared for the blended family challenges that lie ahead — or the feelings they develop for one another.
