CBS’s goriest long-running drama comes to an explosive close tonight

PBS’s latest Nature documentary tries to clear the name of a much-maligned animal, History celebrates African American heroes of the Revolution, and Matt Berry’s latest comedy spoofs British crime dramas. Hello! It is my civic duty to inform you there is a Democratic debate this evening ([here’s how to watch](. Starting at 9/8c on NBC, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, and Michael Bloomberg will participate in a Mortal Kombat-tournament style fight to the death. … Wait, I’ve just been informed that is not how this works and they will simply be debating talking points in an attempt to woo Democrats in an attempt to win the party’s nomination. At any rate, someone, somewhere will probably yell “FINISH HIM!” anyway. If you’d rather watch something else, here are tonight’s picks – Kaitlin [Your Watch This Now! newsletter is created by Senior Recommendations and Reviews Editor Tim Surette and more show-obsessed editors at TV Guide!]( WATCH THIS NOW [Woman Reading]( [Criminal Minds is ending, but its lessons are forever]( Series finale Wednesday at 9/8c on CBS Supernatural might be getting the most press, but there’s another 15-season show coming to an end this year, and it’s happening tonight! Criminal Minds, the long-running CBS procedural about the profilers of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit that made us believe anyone anywhere might try to kill us, closes its last case in [an explosive two-hour series finale that ends with some members of the team deciding to walk away](. The first hour finds the team on the hunt for Everett Lynch (Michael Mosley), aka the Chameleon, while the second puts fan-favorite character Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) in grave danger after suffering a brain injury during said hunt. Like any good finale, familiar faces will pop up in surprising ways -- we know Ben Savage appears as a young Gideon, and Jane Lynch is returning as Reid’s mom, but you’ll have to tune in to find out if Shemar Moore is back as Derek Morgan.

[The Mighty Weasel attempts to repair the animals’ bad reputation]( Wednesday at 8/7c on PBS The many members of the weasel family have long been associated with bad luck and deceit, earning them an unfair reputation in the animal kingdom (except when it comes to wolverines; they really do suck. Go Buckeyes!), and it’s about time the stoats and honey badgers and weasels of the world had the chance to defend themselves and show off their special skills. That is what Nature’s latest documentary sets out to do. In The Mighty Weasel, these often misunderstood and maligned creatures are revealed to be some of the cutest, fiercest, and most intelligent and agile animals in the world, actually making them worthy of our admiration, not derision. So the next time someone calls you a weasel, you should thank them rather than sneak into their nest and eat their eggs. FREEDOM FIGHTERS [History celebrates African Americans’ role in the fight for U.S. independence]( Wednesday at 10/9c on History If you refuse to see the light re: weasels, there’s another educational doc worth checking out this evening. Black Patriots: Heroes of the Revolution, from executive producers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Deborah Morales, uses archival materials and interviews with historians to tell the story of several black men and women who played significant roles in the creation of our country. Highlighting those who stood up to the Crown -- and even those who defended it for a chance at freedom -- the one-hour documentary features numerous examples of black pride and strength and showcases the incredible skill and determination of each of its subjects, who don’t always appear in history books for their efforts. If you’ve never heard of the Rhode Island Regiment or historical figures like Crispus Attucks -- widely regarded to be the first person to die in the American Revolution -- as well as Peter Salem, Colonel Tye, Phillis Wheatley, James Armistead Lafayette, or Elizabeth Freeman, now is the perfect time to find out their notable contributions to American history. NOT A NATURE DOCUMENTARY [Year of the Rabbit is a perfect riff on British crime dramas]( Series premiere Wednesday at 10:30/9:30c on IFC Year of the Rabbit, the sharp new comedy series starring Matt Berry (FX’s What We Do in the Shadows and a bunch of great stuff from the U.K.), is finally making its U.S. debut (and was just renewed for a second season). In the show, Berry stars as the booze-soaked, foul-mouthed Detective Inspector Rabbit, who, along with his naive and straitlaced new partner (Freddie Fox) and the adopted daughter of the the chief of police (Susan Wokoma of the late Crazyhead), attempt to solve murders in Victorian London. If you’re a fan of British crime dramas like Ripper Street (or just British crime dramas in general; there are hundreds to choose from) and you also like to laugh, you’ll likely enjoy the way the series subverts the familiar tropes of the genre with whip-smart banter and gags upon gags upon gags.
