Top picks
Stanley Tucci: Searching For Italy (CNN, 9 p.m., season premiere): Stanley Tucci. The Amalfi Coast. Italian food.

Wild cards
Men In Kilts: A Roadtrip With Sam And Graham: Food And Drink (Starz, 9 p.m., series premiere): Outlander fans can rejoice as the real-life versions of Jamie Fraser and Dougal Mackenzie reunite for another Starz series. Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish take viewers to iconic locales in Scotland, including Inverness and the Culloden battlefield, that molded the country as we know it today.
The Luminaries (Starz, 9:30 p.m., series premiere): “The world of The Luminaries is rich with possibilities. Set in the mid-1800s during New Zealand’s gold rush, the series ventures into historical drama, romance, murder mystery, and mystical science fiction. The challenge lies in fusing these genres into a cohesive story, and The Luminaries, despite some strong performances and absolutely stunning cinematography, doesn’t quite pull it off.” Read the rest of the review of this drama, based on Eleanor Catton’s novel, here. The show stars Eve Hewson, Eva Green, and Himesh Patel.
