What to watch on TV tonight: Sunday

Here are the shows that’ll be on your Twitter timeline this evening.

Every lunchtime, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.

Rebellion (RTÉ One, 9.30pm) 

The second episode of the much talked about 1916-based drama. Tonight, the people of Dublin are divided as the rebels launch their attack on Easter Monday, as friends and family turn against each other. It has half the cast of Love/Hate in it, but it still looks like it’s going to be a belter of a series. #Rebellion

The Meaning of Life with Gay Byrne (RTÉ One, 10.35pm)

A new series of Gay’s fascinating sitdown interview series starts tonight. Gaybo is joined by Ruby Wax to talk about her Jewish upbringing in America and how it influenced her comedy career. We’re all waiting for the next Stephen Fry moment. #MeaningofLife

Louis Theroux: By Reason of Insanity (RTÉ 2, 9.20pm)

Louis concludes his exploration of Ohio’s maximum security state psychiatric hospitals, spending time with patients and looking into the every aspect of the facilities. As always with Louis, you can expect the hard hitting questions and an insight into something you have never come across before.  #LouisTheroux

Everybody’s talking about… the Golden Globes coming up tonight

Sure, most of the focus will be on our own Fassbender and Ronan, but it’s a pretty big night for telly at the Globes as well.

Can Netflix take over as the dominant force? The Guardian asks:

This was the first year that the streaming service Netflix won more nominations than the cable giant HBO – by eight to seven – and the first time since 2000 that HBO has not topped the nominations board. So does the future belong to streaming channels?

It’s going to be interesting to see who wins out, and whether that tells us how the tides are moving in telly these days.

Or switch over for…

  • Taken (TV3, 10pm) The original, and still the best.
  • Casino Royale (ITV2, 9pm) Some classic Daniel Craig Bond for a Sunday night.
  • Iron Man (E4, 6.30pm) More movies than you can shake a stick at.
  • Father Ted (RTÉ 2, 8.50pm) Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse. Thanks, Rugged Island.
