The best choice

Milkshakes with powder (Netflix, 3:01): “Milkshakes with powder comes alive in its dark and comedic action sequences, which prioritize creativity as much as brutality, with an unusual emphasis on props, venues and large compositions. So it’s a shame that director / co-writer Navot Papushado (Big bad wolves) struggles to find the same tonal confidence elsewhere. Milkshakes with powder is about half as funny and smart as he should be, weighing down his cheeky sense of humor with attempts at true pathos that fall flat. Read Caroline Siede’s full review of this action drama starring Karen Gillan, Lena Headey, Angela Bassett and Michelle Yeoh.

Regular coverage

Loki (Disney +, 3:01, season finale)

Wildcards

Robbery (Netflix, 3:01): This docuserie chronicles some of America’s most notorious heists, from the heist of a Las Vegas casino to that of a Miami airport.

A classic horror story (Netflix, 3:01): Directed by Roberto De Feo and Paolo Strippoli, this Italian thriller follows five people traveling in a motorhome who crash into a tree. When they regain consciousness, they realize that the road they were driving on has been replaced by an impenetrable forest and a wooden house. The cast includes Matilda Lutz, Will Merrick and Francesco Russo.

Good problem (Free form, 10 p.m., first mid-season): This fun Freeform drama returns for the second half of its third season. In tonight’s episode “Knocked Down”, Callie (Maia Mitchell) and Gael (Tommy Martinez) give their relationship another chance, Alice (Sherry Cola) returns to the comedy program and Dennis (Josh Pence) returns with Davia (Emma Hunton) question everything.
