7. John Adams
First two parts in a seven-part series on the life of American revolutionary John Adams. Paul Giamatti is Adams and Laura Linney is Mrs. A. Early reviews say the docudrama is stunning with exceptional performances all around. Part two starts at 9 p.m.

9. The L Word
Adele resorts to blackmail to get her way. Oh, those lesbians.
