Atlanta
FX, 10pm
Season Premiere!
Nearly four years have passed since the Season 2 finale of Donald Glover’s acclaimed Atlanta aired on FX. The world’s a vastly different place in Season 3, and Earn (Glover), “Paper Boi” Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry), Darius (LaKeith Stanfield) and Van (Zazie Beetz) are in a vastly different place in the world. Paper Boi is touring Europe, opening for Clark County (RJ Walker). FX says “the group navigates their new surroundings as outsiders, and struggle to adjust to the newfound success they had aspired to.” The new season begins with a two-episode premiere. Viewers likely won’t have to wait four years for Season 4, as it was shot concurrently with Season 3 in 2021.

Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty: “Who the F@#$ Is Jack McKinney”
HBO, 9pm
As Episode 4 of producer Adam McKay’s mesmerizing look at the Los Angeles Lakers’ 1980s dynasty gets underway, the team’s eventual NBA success feels like anything but a slam dunk. It’s 1979 and the squad under its new owner, aging playboy Jerry Buss (John C. Reilly in a tour de force), has neither a coach nor on-court chemistry. Waiting in the wings for some role in the action is a depressed former player turned announcer named Pat Riley (a beautifully nuanced Adrien Brody), who, in a frustrated attempt to “renovate” his garage has buzz-sawed it out of existence. Reminded by the team’s star rookie Earvin “Magic” Johnson (dazzling newcomer Quincy Isaiah) of a particular on-court failure, Riley says, “I still see it in my nightmares, but hey, that’s part of the game, right? It makes you tougher.” Those flops are the fuel that eventually leads the Lakers to “Showtime,” their uniquely high-speed approach to basketball that will earn them five titles in 12 years — four of them under Hall of Fame coach Riley. His evolving fashion is the perfect metaphor for the team’s rise. “It’s a long way [to those Armani suits],” Brody says, laughing. “There’s so much that’s relatable to his story for me,” he adds. “That shift of trying to find your purpose again is enormous. And there’s something beautiful in all of us knowing the heights that he reached and maintained.”
