The Rock is back with another season of Ballers. Issa Rae’s Insecure, too. Voyeurs can watch as Americans across the country go on live as-they-are-happening dates. Also, ABC and NBC are trying out new shows against each other on Mondays at 10, but one of the many benefits of being in Canada is that we can watch them consecutively on Global from 9 to 11. Only in Canada? Pity. 😉
