Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Monday, February 7. All times are Eastern.


Top pick

Angela Black (Spectrum, 3:01 a.m.): Created by Jack and Harry Williams, Angela Black is a psychological thriller centered on the titular character, played by Joanne Froggatt. Angela’s life in London feels like a dream: a lovely suburban house, a job at a dog shelter, two great sons, and a charming husband, Olivier (Michael Huisman). However, beneath the façade, Angela is a victim of domestic violence. Olivier is a controlling brute whose vile behavior she cannot seem to escape. Things change when Angela is approached by private investigator Ed (Samuel Adewunmi), who reveals Olivier’s past secrets to his horrified wife. The entire six-episode first season will be available to binge today on Spectrum.
