What’s Streaming
THE LAST DANCE Stream on Netflix. After debuting on ESPN in May, all 10 hours of this Michael Jordan documentary are available to stream. The series, which was produced by ESPN Films, Netflix and Jordan himself, chronicles the athlete’s legacy and time with the Chicago Bulls, including the team’s storied 1998 season. As Wesley Morris wrote in his Critic’s Notebook for The New York Times, “The series is this ocean of archival game clips, dunk montages, smack talk, mea culpas, cigar smoking, backstabbing, frontstabbing, manfully restrained tears, endorsements of the triangle offense” and “interviews with anybody who even blinked at the N.B.A. from 1984 to 1998.”
What’s on TV
UNITED SHADES OF AMERICA WITH W. KAMAU BELL 10 p.m. on CNN. On the very first episode of this series in 2016, the comedian and host W. Kamau Bell sat down to talk with members of the Ku Klux Klan. Now in its fifth season, Bell will revisit issues of white supremacy. On the premiere, Bell travels to Pittsburgh — which has been described as both one of America’s most livable cities and the worst city in America for Black people — to understand how the lives of its residents can be so different. Later in the season, Bell travels the country to explore independent farming, the gig economy, reparations and the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles.
BLACK MONDAY 8 p.m. on Showtime. The finale of this zany Wall Street comedy finds its central group of ragtag traders where they spent much of Season 2 — working to dig themselves out of the fallout they caused in the 1987 stock market crash. But that will require Blair Pfaff (Andrew Rannells), Dawn Towner (Regina Hall) and Keith Shankar (Paul Scheer) to put their trust in Maurice Monroe, a.k.a. Mo (Don Cheadle). The show may be packed with vulgar humor and dripping in ’80s excess, but it is “most interesting when it deals with the day-to-day marginalization of its outsiders: Mo as an African-American C.E.O.; Dawn as an underestimated woman; other characters as closeted gays in a time of shameless homophobia,” Jeremy Egner, The New York Times television editor, wrote of the show.
THE ALIENIST 9 p.m. on TNT. On the first season of this Emmy-nominated show, Dr. Laszlo Kreizler (Daniel Brühl), an alienist focused on mental pathologies; Sara Howard (Dakota Fanning), an aspiring detective; and John Moore (Luke Evans), a newspaper illustrator, teamed up to investigate a killing spree that targeted young boys in the city. The three form “a kind of turn-of-the-century geek squad, employing criminal psychology — a field still separating itself from quackery — and such newfangled techniques as fingerprint collection, which the police eschew in favor of old-fashioned beatings,” James Poniewozik wrote in his review for The New York Times. On the two-hour premiere of Season 2, the group reunites around a new case — that of a young woman who is accused of murdering her infant daughter after the child goes missing.
