Liz Garbus explores the inner workings of The New York Times in “The Fourth Estate.” And Michelle Wolf kicks off a weekly late-night show. What’s on TVTHE FOURTH ESTATE 8 p.m. on Showtime. For her new documentary mini-series, Liz Garbus followed reporters and editors at The New York Times as they covered President Trump’s first year in office. This show is based on historical events (the trials and troubles of the descendants of the oil tycoon J. Paul Getty), so it might seem to limit the possibility of a cliffhanger season finale. But the first season — about the 1973 kidnapping of J. Paul Getty III — has taken significant artistic liberties with the history, so most anything is possible.
