Myanmar: Ties to Myanmar, aka Burma, put daring billionaire Teddy Rist in hot water with both human rights organizations and his own organization’s board of directors. While he tries to clear up the problem during a trip to the controversial country, he encounters a young girl who could get the kidney transplant she desperately needs, if only her father, a donor match, weren’t providing forced slave labor at a labor camp. Can brave Teddy save the day? I have no clue, but I’m gonna watch to find out.

Primetime: Crime | 10:01pm

This spin-off of the long-running investigative newsmagazine Primetime opens its third season with a report focused on a teenage brother and sister suspected of having murdered their stepfather. ABC promises lots of finger-pointing, interviews with both suspects, ample courtroom footage, and, most intriguing of all, “a startling jailhouse confession.” Hopefully, viewers won’t have to wait until the final two minutes of the program for the last.
