TV Lists Adele
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Sunday, November 7. All times are Eastern.
Top picks
Mayor Of Kingstown (Paramount+, 3:01 a.m., series premiere): From the creators of Yellowstone comes the story of the McLusky family in Kingstown, Michigan, where prisons are the main business. The show stars Dianne Wiest and some other people. Fine, it also stars Jeremy Renner (soon to co-lead Disney Plus’ Hawkeye), Kyle Chandler, Emma Laird, Tobi Bamtefa, and some other people. Look for Danette Chavez’s review on the site.
Yellowjackets (Showtime, 10 p.m., series premiere): Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci, and Tawny Cypress star in this limited series that follows a group of survivors a few decades after a plane crash. The show switches back and forth to immediately before and following the crash and 25 years later. Something tells us it was rough out there in the wilderness! Karyn Kusama, who helmed the chilling The Invitation, directs tonight’s opener. Leila Latif is recapping. Here’s the trailer:
Okay fine, here’s the real trailer:
Regular coverage
Doctor Who: Flux (BBC America, 8:00 p.m.)
Succession (HBO, 9:00 p.m.)
Dexter: New Blood (Showtime, 9:00 p.m.)
Insecure (HBO, 10:00 p.m)
Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO, 10:30 p.m.)
Wild cards
Kamikaze (HBO Max, 3:01 a.m.): This Denmark series follows yet another plane crash survivor; 18-year-old Julie (Marie Reuther) deals with the aftermath of losing her parents and brother in said crash. She now has a ton of money, a large mansion, and vast material wealth—as well as immense grief and loneliness. She decides to travel the world to find a new purpose for her life. The series is based on the novel Muleum by Erlend Loe.
Adele: One Night Only (CBS, 8:30 p.m.): It’s Adele. Adele!! She talks to Oprah about her life before 30 comes out on November 19. She also looks fantastic and makes her typically filthy jokes. Ugh, life was SO DULL without her!

Doom Patrol season three is the true face of prestige television! I’m psyched for next season! April Bowlby had better become an actual Golden Globe nominee!

It was much better than the Supergirl series finale. Even when the show didn’t live up to her, however, Melissa Benoist was always super.

All of these Hollywood produced stories are sooooo heart-breaking and they clearly ache to be sincere…..And they’re so damn pretty. Thanks, Hollywood, for training me to know exactly when I should gasp and sigh, and just where that moment of irony occurs so that I’ll know when exactly I should question my pre-conceived biases.
THanks for asking how I spent my pop culture weekend. That was really thoughtful of you.I watched regular cable TV in my hotel room, because I couldn’t figure out how to connect to Chromecast there. Adult swim still has shows I remember from like, 2005. It was nothing special.I read some wheel of time (as you do) in the hotel hot tub. That was pleasant. Back home, I’ve seen maybe 45 minutes of both Jungle Cruise and Red Notice and I don’t know why my wife didn’t decide to finish either of the movies.
Can you see me? I seem to have become greyed out since Thursday. Even my comments won’t appear as pending.
For some reason the pilot to Yellowjackets was on Pluto TV last weekend an d it’s still available On Demand on Pluto I believe. I’ve seen the trailers and the cast looks great but I was a bit skeptical of the story.The pilot was really really good. The cast, the writing, the pacing, they were all great. There’s a lot of flashbacks going back and forth but it kept me engaged. I’m looking forward to see how this all unfolds.
