What to Watch This Week: July 29 to August 3

From an action star’s roast to dating show revelations, we round up our top 10 shows to watch this week

1. Naked and Afraid of Sharks – Sunday, July 29, 6 p.m. & Midnight, Discovery

This Shark Week presentation delivers a skin-baring mashup of two of Discovery’s most popular shows, with five Naked and Afraid all-stars stranded together on a barren island in the midst of the most shark-infested waters on the planet. Their goal is simply to survive for 14 days, living exclusively on what they’re able to catch from the ocean—no mean feat, since they’re competing with sharks to eat it.

2. Private Eyes – Sunday, July 29, 9 p.m., Global | Season Finale

It’s an electric finale for the Canadian crime dramedy as Shade and Angie are hired to recover a faulty prototype for a potentially dangerous new energy source. When things don’t go according to plan and the client disappears, this odd couple finds their partnership going through one of its toughest tests yet.

3. Who Is America? – Sunday, July 29, 9 p.m., TMN1

Following the success of such big-screen efforts as Brüno and Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, Sacha Baron Cohen is returning to TV, the medium that catapulted him to fame with his groundbreaking HBO comedy Da Ali G Show.

Cohen teased his latest project with a series of cryptic social media posts before it was revealed to be Who Is America?, a provocative Showtime series that launched on July 15.

Filmed in secrecy, the seven-episode satirical series will “explore the diverse individuals, from the infamous to the unknown across the political and cultural spectrum, who populate” the U.S.

While very little was known about the show before its debut, we received a clue thanks to a tsunami of outrage from right-wing politicians who realized they’d been pranked. Among them: Dick Cheney (who autographed a “waterboarding kit”); Joe Walsh (not the awesome Eagles guitarist, but the considerably less-awesome conservative radio host of the same name, who accepted a bogus award); and former U.S. vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who called Cohen “evil” for interviewing her while “heavily disguised” as a disabled veteran.

4. The Comedy Central Roast of Bruce Willis – Sunday, July 29, 10 p.m., Comedy

Celebrity roasts came into vogue via the venerable organization known as the New York Friars Club, which began annually roasting one of its members in 1950. As time passed, the organization agreed in the late 1960s to televise some highly edited versions of these often-profane events, and given how much success Dean Martin and his friends had with the roast format in the ’70s, it was hardly the shock of the century when U.S. cable network Comedy Central signed a deal with the Friars Club to start airing some of their roasts again.

These days, however, Comedy Central has taken to just throwing their own roasts, and although they haven’t done one in a couple years (the last roastee was Rob Lowe in 2016), they’re finally back… with a vengeance. No, that’s not a coincidental use of part of the title of a Die Hard sequel: Bruce Willis has agreed to be the one on the receiving end of jabs and jibes from a variety of noted comics as well as former co-stars. As of this writing, it’s been confirmed that Willis will be enduring jokes from Cybill Shepherd (whom he both starred and feuded with on ABC’s Moonlighting), Edward Norton (Moonrise Kingdom) and Kevin Pollak (The Whole Nine Yards), as well as Nikki Glaser, Lil Rel Howery, Dom Irrera, Dennis Rodman, Martha Stewart and—because you can’t do a roast without him—Jeff Ross. Plus, it’s being hosted by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who played a younger version of Willis in sci-fi thriller Looper… so get ready for some jokes about how he’s seeing his future and he’s horrified. Also on the docket: a drop-by from Willis’s ex-wife Demi Moore that reportedly took the action icon utterly by surprise.

5. Kevin Smith: Silent But Deadly – Monday, July 30, 8 p.m., TMN1

Recorded a mere hour before he suffered a massive heart attack in February, this standup comedy special finds director Kevin Smith (Clerks) killing onstage before he nearly died backstage, regaling the audience with anecdotes from his storied Hollywood career.

6. The Bachelorette – Monday, July 30, 8 p.m., City & ABC

The summer just wouldn’t be sizzlin’ without an antic-riddled season of this popular dating series. Thankfully for viewers, publicist Becca Kufrin’s season has been just as dramatic and scandal-plagued as any other. This week, we get a recap and an in-depth look at everything that’s gone down so far, during the annual “Men Tell All” episode, and we’ve got the popcorn ready. While we’re excited to hear about how the guys really got along behind-the-scenes, what they think got them sent home and who they believe will land Becca’s heart in the finale, what we’re really anticipating is more inside dirt about Chris Randone.

The 30-year-old sales trainer was one of the brattiest finalists featured on the show in all its 14 seasons, pushing Becca to her breaking point in Virginia when he complained about not getting enough individual attention from this Bachelorette. Add in a heated public argument on a group date and the fact that he was habitually insulting his fellow suitors, and… well… there’s bound to be some delightful trash talk from all the fellas he somehow outlasted.

7. Filthy Cities – Wednesday, August 1, 11 p.m., KCTS

You’ll need a strong stomach to get through historian Dan Snow’s exploration of how London evolved as a city, which involves a CGI reconstruction of the 14th century and rather disconcerting revelations about the era’s muck levels. Future episodes will delve into “Revolutionary Paris” and “Industrial New York.”

8. The Four: Battle for Stardom – Thursday, August 2, 8 p.m., Fox | Season Finale

There have been quite a few surprises on the second season of this singing competition (including a shocking appearance by Rebecca Black, the artist behind the viral music video “Friday”), but something tells us that when the finale unrolls this week, we may be facing the biggest jaw-dropper yet.

As “the four” take to their seats for the last time to now face off against each other, only one of them can win the ultimate grand prize: having the panel of industry experts (Sean Combs, Meghan Trainor and DJ Khaled) help launch and shape their career and earning a spot in iHeartRadio’s coveted “On the Verge” development program. With prizes like that on the line, this should be the fiercest “battle” yet.

9. Like Father – Friday, August 3, Netflix

In this Netflix comedy film, Kristen Bell (The Good Place) stars as a bride left waiting at the altar who invites her estranged father (Kelsey Grammer of Frasier fame) to join her on the already-purchased honeymoon. While vacationing, she meets a lovable guy (Seth Rogen) eager to help mend her broken heart.

10. Quantico – Friday, August 3, 8 p.m., CTV & ABC | Series Finale

When this series following a fresh batch of FBI recruits first premiered in 2015, it came with tons of buzz thanks to a clever premise that zipped back-and-forth in time, a well-rounded, diverse ensemble, and of course leading lady Priyanka Chopra—a Bollywood star who seemed primed to break through on North American screens.

Unfortunately, things never quite clicked. The show underwent multiple retoolings and behind-the-scenes shake-ups, shedding viewers along the way, leading ABC to finally cancel it midway through this third season. Some critics blame the convoluted CIA storyline in season two, others point to the somewhat limited potential of the show’s original terrorist-attack mystery.

Whatever the cause, we hope this finale offers some sort of closure for the fans who hung in there through it all.
