Don't stop me now

"The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert Story" picks up where "Bohemian Rhapsody" left off, tracking how the former "American Idol" finalist came to join the band. The documentary includes commentary from "Idol" judge Simon Cowell, Oscar winner Rami Malek and the Foo Fighters' Taylor Hawkins.

7 p.m. KSTP, Ch. 5

Change of heart

Fans of "Get Out" might want to check out "Chambers," a new series about creepy parents (Uma Thurman and Tony Goldwyn) who have some sort of control over a teenager who received a heart from their deceased daughter. Early episodes aren't nearly as scary or sharp as "Stranger Things" or "American Horror Story," but you're bound to feel a few chills just the same.

All about Seoul

John Cho narrates "Korea: The Never-Ending War," an in-depth, eye-opening documentary that shows how Harry Truman, Mao Zedong and Josef Stalin set the stage for modern-day conflicts. John Maggio's film does its best to shed light on a subject most Americans slept through in history class.

9 p.m. TPT, Ch. 2
