Get ready for an ultimate dad show based on a 1980s classic, a crime drama thatâs so Boston Matt Damon will show up at your house, and a possible exposé on magician David Copperfield.
Hello!
Tonight is the night of the 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards! Except it’s not? MTV will broadcast the event tonight at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET, but the ceremony actually took place over the weekend. It’s rare for an awards show to debut on tape delay, as the suspense of finding out who won is usually the main draw, but the internet somehow kept its mouth shut on who took home what trophy. Go ahead, try and Google the winners; you’ll come up blank, which we think is a first for these types of things. The only real spoilers out there aren’t who won what, but who wore what. Red carpet photos are everywhere you look, and the looseness of the event had celebs [making statements with some outrageous outfits](. If you’d like to see them in action for yourself, MTV will air a red carpet show on its Twitter account an hour before the broadcast. Here are tonight’s picks:

[Grand Hotel](
[Grand Hotel is the summer’s sudsy sideshow](
Series premieres Monday at 10/9c on ABC
If you miss the sultry soapiness of [Desperate Housewives]( book a room at the similarly ultra-lathered experience of Grand Hotel. The series, from executive producer [Eva Longoria]( and it really shows, follows the Mendozas, a luxury hotel-owning family in Miami, which means there are long shots of crystal blue beaches, Olympic-sized swimming pools, and people who work out… a lot. But beyond the eye candy, Grand Hotel [brings the expected twists of a telenovela to ABC]( family secrets, hotel heiresses mingling with employees, and maybe a debt owed to the mob. [Demián Bichir]( and [Roselyn Sanchez]( star.
PUT THIS ON YOUR RADAR
[Das Boot](
[Submarine thriller Das Boot is an adaptation that doesn’t sink](
Series debuts in america today on Hulu
Father’s Day may have been yesterday, but dads everywhere are getting a belated gift with today’s premiere of this ultimate dad show. Based on Wolfgang Petersen’s [lauded 1981 war thriller]( the 2019 adaptation also follows the crew of a German U-boat, but it’s a different crew, different boat, and different mission from the film. This eight-episode series also adds a parallel story on land, centering on a German interpreter torn between her loyalty to Germany and the Resistance, made even more complicated by — you guessed it — love. Das Boot is a truly international production, filming all over Europe and switching between German, French, and English (which means you’ll need to put on your reading glasses), but the star of the show is still the same as the film: claustrophobic shots of a submarine crew engaging in stealth combat while water pours into their vessel. It’s harrowing, rich, and worth a watch from your comfy recliner.
Wahch this nah
[City on a Hill](
[City on a Hill comes from a long line of fine Boston crime dramas](
Series premiere is now on Showtime, Showtime’s streaming apps, and [YouTube]( (free)
Ayyy, yous guys like crime dramas involving Boston? The Departed? The Town? Patriots Day? Game 6 of the 1986 World Series? Well put down your chowdah and suck up this Showtime drama starring [Kevin Bacon]( as a no-good cop who partners with an idealistic assistant DA who’s bent on smoking out all the corruption in the justice system. It’s a meat-and-potatoes crime drama that isn’t doing anything you haven’t seen several times before, [but it’s good meat and good potatoes]( thanks to a great cast that includes the intense chameleon [Jonathan Tucker](. Make no mistake: City on a Hill will remind you at every opportunity that the show is set in Boston, which tracks because it’s produced by the city’s prodigal sons, [Matt Damon]( and [Ben Affleck](.
FOOL US ONCE...
[Penn & Teller: Fool Us](
[Can David Copperfield bamboozle Penn & Teller?](
Season 6 premieres Monday at 8/7c on The CW
The old adage that “a magician never reveals his/her secrets” is code among the rabbit-pulling cult, but there’s nothing written anywhere that says magicians can’t reveal other magicians’ secrets. Actually, it’s an unwritten rule that can get a magician permanently banned from the order, but it’s also the premise for Penn & Teller: Fool Us, in which the famed sorcerers have magicians perform a trick before them, and they have to figure out how it’s done. The wildly entertaining show gets even more intriguing in the Season 6 premiere, when famed wizard [David Copperfield]( tries to stump Penn & Teller. Meanwhile, we’re still wondering [where the Statue of Liberty went](.

[Roll Red Roll](
[Roll Red Roll looks at high school rape culture](
Monday at 10/9c on PBS
The 2012 rape of a Steubenville, Ohio high school student drew national and global attention for its exposure of rape culture among teenagers in the United States. The documentary Roll Red Roll examines the case, which nearly got swept under the rug before a blogger posted screenshots of students laughing about the sexual assault on social media, and the town’s divided over what happened that night and how it should be handled. The accused, two high school football players, were protected by their coach and school while activists, including Anonymous, demanded justice. It’s a shocking case study about a greater problem, and Roll Red Roll deftly examines the murky waters that the defendants, the accused, law enforcement, lawyers, and the public must navigate in these awful cases.
