‘True Detective’ wraps up 2nd season Sunday night BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Bryan Cranston has returned to television. But the “Breaking Bad” and “Malcolm in the Middle” star hasn’t exactly returned to prime time. He’s the star and co-producer of “Sneaky Pete,” whose pilot episode is now streaming on Amazon. Giovanni Ribisi stars as a con man named Pete who assumes the identity of his prison cellmate and moves in with his “grandmother” (Margo Martindale), a savvy owner of a bail bond business. Amazon encourages viewers to watch, rate and comment on its pilot series. This puts the viewers — theoretically, at least — in the role of programming executives who decide what shows get turned into original series. The cast of “Pete” alone is worth at least a peek. • Italia Ricci (“Chasing Life”) stars in the 2015 psychological thriller “Fatal Memories” (8 p.m. Saturday, Lifetime), about a woman helping her disturbed sister (Magda Apanowicz) dredge up details from the night their mother was stabbed to death. • A victim of a drive-by shooting manages to avoid multiple gunshots on “Boston EMS” (10 p.m. Saturday, ABC). But when ambulance drivers discover evidence of an old bullet wound, he begins to wonder just when his luck might run out. Elsewhere, drivers pick up a homeless man who decided to strip naked in order to get arrested and spend the night in an air-conditioned jail cell. • Robert Redford, who barely uttered a word in the 2013 drama “All Is Lost,” narrates the new series “America, the Beautiful” (7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Travel). The actor and environmentalist lends his voice to this travelogue series that puts the spotlight on America’s natural wonders, both well-known and obscure. The first installment follows a hang-glider hovering 3,000 feet over the Yosemite Valley. In the second, daredevils walk wires stretched 400 feet above the floor of the Mineral Canyon in Canyonlands National Park, a place
Mysteries Channel). • Finney and Paige bicker on “Ray Donovan” (9 p.m., Showtime, TV-MA). • Spencer confronts his past on “Ballers” (10:30 p.m., HBO, TV-MA). • Virginia’s parents descend out of the blue on “Masters of Sex” (10 p.m., Showtime, TV-MA). • The 2nd Mass finds a new military base on “Falling Skies” (10 p.m., TNT, TV-14). • Eph wears a disguise on “The Strain” (10 p.m., FX, TVMA). • Walter urges caution on “The Brink” (11 p.m., HBO, TV-MA).

Colin Farrell stars in a scene from the “True Detective” season finale airing at 9 p.m. on Sunday.
where ranchers share territory with artifacts from an ancient American civilization. The production company behind “America” is working on an IMAX film about the National Parks to be released in 2016. So look for gorgeous photography and the kind of soaring camera work that’s best appreciated in 3-D. • We interrupt the dog days of summer for a touch of autumn sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings meet in the NFL preseason Hall of Fame Game (8 p.m. Sunday, NBC) in Canton, Ohio. This matchup marks the beginning of pro football’s preseason and its emphasis on chatter, prediction and prognostication. The game coincides with the induction of veterans into the NFL Hall of Fame. It’s also the time when NBC can again relish having one of the top-rated shows, instead of wondering where and when to air unseen episodes of “Welcome to Sweden.” The next preseason game on NBC will take place on Aug. 30, when the Arizona Cardinals and Oakland Raiders tangle. The first regular season “Sunday Night Football” game takes place on Thursday, Sept. 10, the
league’s opener between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots. This is not to be confused with “Thursday Night Football” airing on CBS and the NFL Network. Its first game is between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs, scheduled for Sept. 17. Got that? • The second incarnation of “True Detective” (9 p.m. Sunday, HBO, TV-MA) wraps up its season. Like many, I was enthralled by the first season of “Detective” and baffled and bored by the first two episodes of this current installment. Some have told me that it “got better,” some three hours into its tale. The question is, given so many ambitious series out there, who has time to invest in a series that fails to grab your attention after a solid 120 minutes — the running time of a motion picture?
