Between network, cable and streaming, the modern television landscape is a vast one. Here are some of the shows, specials and movies coming to TV this week, Nov. 14-20. Details and times are subject to change.

Monday

TAKEN HOSTAGE (2022) 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings). In 1979, 52 Americans were taken hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. This documentary explores how the United States had meddled with Iranian affairs in the decades prior, setting the stage for the Iran hostage crisis. The film includes interviews with Barry Rosen, a hostage; two journalists who covered the crisis; and Gary Sick, a member of the National Security Council under former President Jimmy Carter. This four-hour documentary is split into two parts. Part two airs on PBS on Tuesday night.

Tuesday

EASY A (2010) 7:30 p.m. on E! Emma Stone plays Olive Penderghast, a defiant and carefree 17-year-old, in this high school comedy. When Olive’s unbearably nosy best friend Rhiannon (Aly Michalka) asks about her boring weekend, she decides to lie and say that she slept with a college student. Marianne (Amanda Bynes), a devout Christian girl, overhears the lie, and suddenly the whole school finds out. But rather than feeling ashamed or embarrassed, Olive assumes the role of the promiscuous girl and helps socially ostracized boys increase their popularity. “‘Easy A’ commands attention for the irresistible presence of Emma Stone, playing a good girl who pretends to be bad,” Stephen Holden wrote in a review for The New York Times.

Wednesday

MASTER OF LIGHT (2022) 8:30 p.m. on HBO. This documentary tells the story of George Anthony Morton, a classical painter who spent 10 years in prison for dealing drugs. Upon his release, he has worked on his craft, while navigating his way through the white-dominated art world. The film recounts his return to his hometown, Kansas City, where he paints his family members in the style of Dutch old masters and investigates the influences of African art on the realist tradition.

Thursday

But during a party celebrating the birth of Marcus’s new grandson, Mike gets shot, and the detectives team up for one last mission to track down the assassin. “As for the action, the directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah blow things up real good, and do so in ways that are more often buoyant than grisly,” Glenn Kenny wrote in his review for The Times.

Saturday
