It may be the summer, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to watch. As we keep proving, there are some great shows to check out on the broadcast networks, whether you’re interested in scripted drama or reality messiness.
We’re closing in on the end of a couple of reality shows. Meanwhile, networks are seeing changes as some of their scripted dramas have come to an end. We’re breaking down what’s worth watching and what to skip throughout July 21 and 27.
What to watch: Bachelor in Paradise
You know that you need to watch the messiness that is Bachelor Nation. There is always something wild going on, and we’re expecting it in Bachelor in Paradise this week. We’re only onto the fourth episode, and there have already been some wild moments.
The Goldens are turning up the heat as Gary arrives with a date card, and Kat is about to find out something about Dale and Alli Jo’s connection. Meanwhile, there’s an unexpected rose that’s about to shake everything up.
Bachelor in Paradise airs on Monday at 8/7c on ABC.
What to watch: Destination X
Of course, the new NBC reality show Destination X is a must-watch. We’re down to the Final 4, and as Ally said, this is sure to be filled with testosterone-fueled grunting and bickering.
In the previous episode, the group remained in Venice and played a different type of game. Now, one half of the showmance is out, and that seemed to be what Peter and Rick wanted. However, could it lead to Biggy and Shayne teaming up against them?
Destination X airs on Tuesday at 10/9c on NBC.
What to skip: High Potential
If you need to create space in the schedule to make sure you can watch everything, you’ll want to give High Potential a skip. This isn’t because it’s not worth watching, but because it’s a rerun! You can watch all 13 episodes of the first season on Hulu anytime you want.
I do recommend watching High Potential when you can. This is an amazing series, and there’s a reason it’s starting the fall off strong with its season 2 return. However, I just recommend watching this on Hulu because you’ll want to binge-watch the season.
High Potential will air on Tuesday at 8/7c on ABC.
What to watch: Family Law
The Canadian family legal drama is back for more! Yes, Family Law season 4 premieres this week on The CW, and we’ll see Abigail attempting to mend things with her daughter when she has to deal with a case that involves a mother disinheriting her biological children.
Meanwhile, Daniel will need to learn some humility, as his power as a partner goes to his head. As many of them realize, they still need to earn the respect of the position that they have, especially when they were up against others.
Family Law airs on Wednesday at 8/7c on The CW.
What to skip: The Hunting Party
The next show to skip is another that is a rerun. To be honest, if you do have some time on Thursday, then I would recommend watching this live. It’s going to help NBC see that there is an interest in The Hunting Party. At the same time, you probably don’t have the time with so much Big Brother airing on CBS.
The great thing about The Hunting Party is that it’s available to stream on Peacock. This is the best way to watch as NBC gets a clear idea of interest, and it allows you to catch up on the series in a binge-watch.
The Hunting Party will air on Thursday at 8/7c on NBC.
What to watch: The Fixer
What makes a successful business? That’s something a lot of people ask, and Marcus Lemonis has some of the answers. He’s already a successful entrepreneur, and he has helped countless other businesses succeed. Friday nights are taken over by the new show that he’s hosting, The Fixer.
In the new episode, he will go into a pet salon and a wellness salon. In both cases, he’s looking at the signature 3 P’s philosophy, which means People, Process, and Product. Should a business have it all, he’s willing to invest to help with that, and there are some great lessons for budding entrepreneurs to follow in the future.
The Fixer airs Friday at 8/7c on FOX.
