Plus, Stargirl, Supergirl, Ridley Jones, Queens, Son Of Monarchs, and Undercover Underage
TV Lists Impeachment: American Crime Story
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, November 2. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Impeachment: American Crime Story (FX, 10 p.m.): As Ines Bellina wrote of last week’s episode: “It’s here, it’s here! The Hillary Rodham Clinton episode is finally here! After using Edie Falco as the prestige thespian carrot to keep us hanging on, we finally get an hour-and-a-half of her playing the woman who should have become president in 2016.” This week, Monica is put in front of “The Grand Jury.” Beanie Feldstein looks a lot like Lewinsky, but this is the first promo where the resemblance is uncanny, right down to the hairstyle, suit, and pearls. Oh, and that ’90s lipstick.
Regular coverage
Stargirl (The CW, 8 p.m., season-two finale)
Supergirl (The CW, 9 p.m.)
Wild cards
Son Of Monarchs (HBO Max, 3:01 a.m.): After his grandmother dies, a New York City biologist (Black Panther 2’s Tenoch Huerta Mejía) returns to his hometown in the monarch butterfly forests of Michoacán. Incidentally, butterflies are beautiful symbols of metamorphosis, change, and remembering your past of being a caterpillar even though you’re a butterfly.
Undercover Underage (Discovery+, 3:01 a.m.): This series follows Roo Powell, child advocate and the founder of SOSA (Safe from Online Sex Abuse), as she works with law enforcement to catch “menacing adults who use the internet to harm children.” The 38-year-old Powell presents herself as a teen to identify online predators.
Queens (ABC, 10 p.m.): Brandy and Eve go head to head in this episode directed by UnREAL’s Shiri Appleby, titled “Who You Calling A Bitch?”
Ridley Jones (Netflix, 3:01 a.m., season-two premiere): The animated preschool series is back! Also there is a mummy! Who doesn’t want to be friends with a mummy?

Clive Owen as Bill Clinton still does my head in.
“the woman who should have become president in 2016″Today is election day. Nobody is running for President or Congress today, but people are running for other offices in several states. Very few people will decide who wins those elections, but many of those people will have power to affect who wins when somebody is running for President or Congress in one or three years. If you are one of the few people who vote today, your vote can have greater impact.Be one of those people.
Let’s hope suburban whites in VA don’t set the clocks back to the 1950s today.
Sad to see Stargirl leaving us for a time—it’s been a good season but we’ll still have Nancy Drew. Maybe we will get some Nancy Drew reviews for the back nine of the season.
Season finale for Stargirl. Its the best of the Arrowverse shows right now, though the Flash 5 part opener looks pretty good.
Bernie should have been elected president in 2016, in fact he would have been if hillary and her cronies didn’t collude against him and encourage trump
I would have led with the Stargirl season finale. I’m not currently watching American Crime Story however.
