Your TV To-Do List: Prepare for a 'Crisis' in the DC TV Universe

With so much to watch on TV, it can be difficult to plan ahead. But we’re here to help! Here are the five shows you won’t want to miss this week.

Crisis on Earth-X: Monday, Nov. 27-Tuesday, Nov. 28, at 8 p.m. on the CW
There’s nothing like a wedding to precipitate a crisis.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: Wednesday, Nov. 29, on Amazon Prime
Yes, Amy Sherman-Palladino’s new series is the reason we’re not getting more Gilmore Girls anytime soon. But don’t hold that against the bubbly ’50s-era comedy about a housewife (Rachel Brosnahan) who enters a whole new industry: standup comedy.

Easy: Friday, Dec. 1, on Netflix
Joe Swanberg’s Chicago-set anthology series returns for a second season of slice-of-life stories. Look for the return of Season 1 characters played by Marc Maron and Aya Cash, while new faces include Aubrey Plaza, Judy Greer, and Joe Lo Truglio.
