The Big Shot: Alien: Earth (FX, Tuesday, 8 p.m.)
Prepare for an extraterrestrial thrill ride with Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth, a prequel set just two years before Ridley Scott’s iconic Alien. Picture it: a Weyland-Yutani spaceship crash-lands on our blue planet, unleashing a horde of deadly alien species. Enter Wendy (played by the captivating Sydney Chandler), a synthetic robot with a penchant for human consciousness, and her ragtag team of misfits on a mission to capture these cosmic menaces before they wreak havoc. With an ensemble that sparkles with talents like Timothy Olyphant and Essie Davis, this sci-fi spectacle promises a rollercoaster of suspense. Don’t miss weekly recaps from The A.V. Club-they’ll keep you glued to your seat!
Spy Games: Butterfly (Prime Video, Wednesday, 3:01 a.m.)
Lost’s very own Daniel Dae Kim stars in Butterfly, a spy thriller that rewrites family reunions. Imagine faking your death for nine years-only to discover your grown daughter (a fierce Reina Hardesty) has joined the ranks of the world’s top assassins. Together, they navigate a twisty reunion filled with danger and deception, while unraveling a global conspiracy intent on silencing them. Mark your calendars-The A.V. Club’s review drops Monday, and I bet it’ll have plenty of secrets to spill.
Cozy Crime: Irish Blood (Acorn TV, Monday, 3:01 a.m.)
Our beloved Alicia Silverstone stars in Acorn TV’s delightful crime series, where she portrays a divorce attorney chasing shadows from her past in Ireland. A mysterious note leads her on a heart-pounding quest to reconnect with her estranged father, revealing layers of family secrets that hit darker than a pint of stout.
Page to Screen: The Rainmaker (USA Network, Friday, 10 p.m.)
Hold onto your legal pads! Based on John Grisham’s gripping novel-and previously brought to life by Francis Ford Coppola—The Rainmaker follows a young lawyer, Milo Callaghan, as he wades through moral ambiguity, facing off against a shady legal culture and his former boss, the ever-charismatic John Slattery from Mad Men.
