The 2024 documentary “Admissions Granted” (9 p.m., Sunday, MSNBC) concerns the issue of affirmative action and arrives one year after the Supreme Court’s SFFA v. Harvard case outlawed the use of race considerations in admission, stating in a 6-3 decision that such criteria violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

Netflix streams the 2024 comedy “A Family Affair” starring Joey King, Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman.

“The Bear” begins streaming its third season on Hulu. The Emmy-winning series sees Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) pushing his team ever harder to up the culinary game at the restaurant that gives the show its name.

“CSI” was among the first TV hits of the 21st century. Along with “Survivor,” it boosted CBS to become the most-watched network and shook up its image as the dowdy home to bloodless procedurals like Dick Van Dyke’s “Diagnosis Murder.”

Documentaries often show us that true stories are more amazing than scripted drama. If you read a novel where the daughter of a Jewish Auschwitz survivor married a handsome German prince and became a royal fixture of a European jet-set society, you probably wouldn’t believe it. Or remember that you’d sworn off Harold Robbins and Judith Krantz paperbacks decades ago.

What happens to old TV shows when they die? Do they go to some kind of video heaven? Or get gently composted, spread around to return in some new concept?

It’s the year 2052, and people are still eating SpaghettiOs. I’m afraid that’s one of my main takeaways from the pilot episode of the spinoff series “Orphan Black: Echoes” (10 p.m., Sunday, AMC, TV-MA).

Look for familiar faces in the 2024 Netflix thriller “Trigger Warning,” streaming today. No stranger to martial arts action and balletic violence, Jessica Alba stars as Parker, a Special Forces commando. She’s knee-deep in some super-secret mission when word comes of her father’s sudden death.

Hulu invites fans of true-crime docuseries to jump down another rabbit hole. The three-part series “Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini” offers an indulgent meditation on a number of disturbing trends and societal ills.
