What’s on TV
QUIZ 10 p.m. on AMC. By sheer coincidence, the British director Stephen Frears, more recently known for “A Very English Scandal,” is back with another series that easily could have borrowed that title. “Quiz,” a three-part drama, revisits a case that took Britain by storm in 2001. After Charles Ingram (played by Matthew Macfadyen of “Succession”), a former British Army major, won the grand prize on the ratings juggernaut “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?,” he, his wife, Diana (Sian Clifford of “Fleabag”), and Tecwen Whittock (Michael Jibson), an accomplice, were found guilty of cheating. Diana and Tecwen, who had been seated in the audience, were said to have hinted at the correct answers by coughing. The couple were vilified in the British media, yet they still claim innocence. This show leaves it up to viewers to decide whether the Ingrams should have walked away millionaires. The season finale of KILLING EVE leads in at 9 p.m.
CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD 8 p.m. on ABC. This star-studded game show is back for a sixth season. Steve Harvey hosts as celebrity teams compete to win cash for their charities. In this episode, cast members from the original “Queer Eye” series — the so-called OGs, which Carson Kressley defines as the “old gays” — go to head-to-head with stars from the Netflix reboot. The season premiere of another game show, the remake of PRESS YOUR LUCK, follows at 9 p.m.
LAUREL CANYON 9 p.m. on Epix. A number of artists like Joni Mitchell, Frank Zappa and Jim Morrison flocked to Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early ’70s, making it a breeding ground for the Los Angeles folk scene. According to one interviewee in this new two-part documentary series, the neighborhood “was a very small community of musicians and longhaired weirdos.” The director Alison Ellwood captures the area’s heyday through rare footage and interviews with Don Henley (The Eagles), Michelle Phillips (The Mamas & the Papas), Graham Nash (Crosby, Stills & Nash) and others. If the documentary leaves you wanting more counterculture nostalgia, revisit songs like “Big Yellow Taxi,” “Our House,” and “Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon).”

THE VAST OF NIGHT (2020) Stream on Amazon. Fans of “The Twilight Zone” might spot some Easter eggs in this new sci-fi thriller, an impressive debut from the director Andrew Patterson. In 1950s New Mexico, during the early days of the space race, Fay (Sierra McCormick), a young switchboard operator, and Everett (Jake Horowitz), a radio D.J., discover a peculiar audio frequency and come to believe that an unidentified flying object is hovering over their small town. The story isn’t the first of its kind, but Patterson brings an inventive, refreshing touch. The movie is packed with directorial flourishes, like an absorbing long tracking shot and a short scene where the screen fades completely to black.
