What to Watch this week: It's time for battle on the “House of the Dragon” season finale
Plus, Matt Damon and Casey Affleck in the movie "The Instigators," the Elizabeth Taylor documentary "The Lost Tapes," and more picks.
After a season that included the series' biggest dragon fight so far and that big death plus a surprise appearance from a big season 1 character, and now with the Dragonseeds taking flight, all signs point to a big battle in the House of the Dragon season 2 finale. Get ready for the showdown between Team Black and Team Green.
Rob Lowe and his son John Owen Lowe are back for a new season of Unstable, four women join Mexico's first female police and track down a serial killer in the series Women in Blue, and the new season of Criminal Minds: Evolution wraps up. Plus, ongoing coverage of the Olympic Summer Games.
Matt Damon and Casey Affleck star in the movie The Instigators; in M. Night Shyamalan's Trap, a father and daughter's good time at a concert turns sinister; SpongeBob SquarePants' Sandy Cheeks gets her own movie with Saving Bikini Bottom; and Zack Snyder releases his director's cuts for the two Rebel Moon movies.
