Monday
under deck 8 p.m. on Bravo. In this ‘Below Deck’ spin-off, exuberant Chief Stew Esha Scott and Captain Jason Chambers return to sail Australia on their superyacht. As anyone who’s been following the series avidly knows, this second season is sure to include nasty guests, drunken crew entanglements, and lots of tears.
Tuesday
Under deck sailing yacht reunion 8 p.m. on Bravo. After multiple engine failures, an exhausting love triangle (actually a pentagon), and the most disrespectful guest you’ve ever seen, this reunion has a lot to report. Are Daisy and Colin still together? Did Gary frame the action? Does Captain Glenn feel bad about Daisy? I hope reunion host Andy Cohen gives us all the answers we want (and need).
love island 9pm on E! The American version of the original British dating show returns for season five. Sarah Hyland returns as host with narrator Ian Sterling, and 10 new contestants are introduced.

After that, new episodes will be delivered every day except Wednesdays for viewers to follow in real time.

Each episode of this new show uses the stories of famous poets, songwriters and authors to illustrate the impact of the South on music, film and literature.
