The title "The Bachelorette Reunion: The Biggest Bachelorette Reunion in Bachelor History Ever!" may just be poking fun at the franchise's flair for hyperbole, but the two-hour special is more than prepared to back up its claim with appearances from 12 former bachelorettes, including Minnesotan Becca Kufrin.

Grim only begins to describe the tone in "Chernobyl," a five-part miniseries on the 1986 nuclear accident and how Russian bureaucrats made matters even worse. The details behind the disaster get a little wonky, but even viewers that got C's in high school chemistry will appreciate the urgent performances from Jared Harris, Emily Watson and Stellan Skarsgard.
8 p.m. HBO

"State of the Union" may have a unique format — 10-minute episodes that revolve almost solely around a husband and wife catching a quick drink before their weekly counseling sessions — but the series resonates because of ol' fashioned, witty dialogue penned by Nick Hornby ("High Fidelity").

9 p.m. Sundance
