In Justified: City Primeval, a lawyer, eyeing cowboy hat–wearing Raylan Givens, gives her racy take on what it would be like to lasso Yellowstone’s Kevin Costner for a night.

The Lincoln Lawyer THURSDAY, JULY 6 ORIGINAL DRAMA The legal drama’s sophomore season finds intrepid L.A. attorney Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, right) in an unusual spot: on an upswing. “You see a Mickey that starts confident,” says Garcia-Rulfo, referring to his winning the big Season 1 case. “He’s at the top of his game.” But you’re only as good as your last verdict, and in this season, which is drawn from Michael Connelly’s 2011 novel The Fifth Witness, Mickey takes on the high-profile murder of a polarizing real estate developer. “There are a lot of twists in this case,” Garcia-Rulfo says. Plus, it introduces Mickey to chef Lisa Trammell (Lana Parrilla), whose home and livelihood were threatened by the victim. Also keeping Mickey on his toes are his two ex-wives—loyal…

Miracle Workers: End Times SEASON PREMIERE 10/9c and 10:30/9:30c, TBS The comedy anthology starring Daniel Radcliffe is revving up for its most over-the-top outing yet. And if you didn’t think it was possible to get dirtier or bleaker than the Dark Ages or Oregon Trail seasons, think again. With a look straight out of Mad Max, Round 4 brings the cast into a grimy, mutant-infested, postapocalyptic wasteland where Radcliffe’s warrior Sid (left) and his warlord wife, Freya (Geraldine Viswanathan), are trying to make a better life. So they move to Boomtown—the dystopia’s steampunk suburb—where Sid signs on to work with a junk collector (franchise regular Steve Buscemi) while Freya takes on the homeowners’ association. Let’s just hope she leaves her battle-ax at home. BBQ Brawl BBQ USA SEASON PREMIERES 9/8c…

It’s not known whether his departure—in life or death—will dissolve the Task Force to which he fed evil “Blacklisters,” but in the final two back-to-back episodes, dogged Congressman Hudson (Toby Leonard Moore) continues his investigation into the mysterious FBI unit. As for Reddington, who’s wiped away any connection to the Task Force, he’s been giving away his fortune, bidding farewell to friends and taking needless risks to eliminate the world’s worst criminals. Whatever that foretells, fans hope to finally learn Red’s true identity—a secret so fraught that he killed to keep it hidden. With breadcrumbs…

@TVGMMattRoush Hijack SERIES PREMIERE Wednesday, June 28, Apple TV+ THE SKIES ARE particularly unfriendly in Hijack, a gripping 24-style escapist thriller that seems an oddly unnerving choice for the height of summer’s travel season. For those staying grounded, however, this is a white-knuckle winner. Unfolding on a seven-hour flight from Dubai to London over seven episodes, this roller coaster of ticking-clock suspense stars Luther’s Idris Elba in top confrontational form as corporate negotiator Sam Nelson. His reasoning skills, and sometimes his fists, get a workout when Kingdom Flight 29 is overtaken by desperate hijackers who don’t always seem in control of their actions. Sam sizes the situation up as the second episode begins: “If it’s all going wrong in the first hour, imagine what can happen in the next six.”…

But Tom Brittney’s crime-solving vicar, Will Davenport, goes down his darkest path yet on the 1960-set eighth season of Grantchester, PBS’s unassuming and irresistible British mystery-drama. After inadvertently causing a devastating accident (no spoilers here!), Will cannot absolve himself of his overwhelming sense of guilt and sinks into isolation. “I think because of Will’s inherent nature and his upbringing—being made to feel everything was his fault—he’s always been a very self-flagellating person,” Brittney says. “So even though it’s not his fault, it doesn’t trump the voices in his head telling him he’s a bad person.” That isolation is magnified when his loving,…

Minx SEASON PREMIERE Friday, July 21, 9/8c, Starz “BE CAREFUL WHAT you ask for. You might just get it,” says star Jake Johnson (below, New Girl) of the Season 2 theme for this effervescent comedy about an upstart 1970s erotic women’s magazine. At the end of the first season, Johnson’s cavalier dirty-mag publisher Doug Renetti relinquished control of Minx—a fusion of feminism and full-frontal nudity (think: essays about equal pay alongside revealing photos of hunky men)—to uptight founding editor Joyce Prigger (Ophelia Lovibond). For these eight episodes, which move to Starz from HBO Max, the duo recognize they need each other to succeed—Doug as the risk-taking, libertine showman and Joyce as the brains and heart. “Without Joyce, the future isn’t bright for ol’ Dougie. He’ll be back to publishing Feet…

@damianholbrook Cheers to Glamorous for giving Kim Cattrall the perfect comeback. As a makeup maven fighting to save her brand in Netflix’s frothy comedy, she’s sassier, sexier and city-ier than ever. Cheers to Cruel Summer for being the coolest mystery of the season. Freeform’s soapy drama has us not only guessing how sweet teen Luke (Griffin Gluck) met his maker, but also if one of his former ride-or-dies (Lexi Underwood, left, with Sadie Stanley) took that last part literally. Cheers to It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia for being the one that mocks. Even 16 seasons in, the crass FXX comedy continues to find new ways to clown on everything sacred, including the gang’s recent—and riotously disrespectful—run-in with Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. Cheers to Extraction 2 for blowing our minds while blowing…
