Tonight's television lineup features a new reality series, Suddenly Amish, airing at 10pm on TLC. The show taps into the cultural obsession with tradwife life by sending a group of men and women to live in an Amish community. Unsurprisingly, they are met with skepticism. However, the participants seem genuinely attuned to this new way of life. For instance, coffee barista Billie Jo has been dressing in Amish clothes at work for 10 years. But challenges arise: Kendra is shamed for arriving in a low-cut dress, and Aaron's phone is confiscated despite him needing it for his hearing aid.
Best Medicine on Sky One
At 8pm on Sky One, Best Medicine continues. Big-city surgeon turned local doctor Martin Best (Josh Charles) is finally warming to the sleepy Maine town of Port Wenn. He tolerates its folksy traditions, such as the imminent annual pie-making competition, which is so competitive that one patient describes it as “like The Purge, but with blueberries,” according to Graeme Virtue.
Faithless on Sky Atlantic
At 9pm on Sky Atlantic, Faithless airs. Directed by Tomas Alfredson (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), this six-part reinterpretation of Ingmar Bergman's semi-autobiographical love triangle drama stars David and Marianne as they reflect on their passionate, destructive affair, beginning with a summer trip to Stockholm in 1977.
The Pike County Murders: A Family Massacre on U&W
Also at 9pm on U&W, The Pike County Murders: A Family Massacre attempts to untangle the motivation behind the murders of eight members of a rural Ohio family in 2016. As the biggest criminal investigation in the state's history continues, authorities unearth CCTV footage that seems to implicate another local clan.
I Kissed a Girl on BBC Three
At 9pm on BBC Three, I Kissed a Girl returns with a double bill. Described as wholesome, saucy, and educational, the BBC's now-cancelled gay dating show sees more emotional farewells and a chemistry test that leaves shaky couples exposed, according to Hannah J Davies.
The American Revolution on BBC Four
At 10pm on BBC Four, The American Revolution continues with the final phase in 1780. Cavalry commander Banastre Tarleton helps Gen Charles Cornwallis drive Britain's southern campaign. Meanwhile, in Ken Burns' epic history lesson, Benedict Arnold's defection rocks the patriot cause before the French help deliver Washington's decisive victory at Yorktown, paving the way for American independence.
