Allen V. Farrow (HBO, 9 p.m., limited release of docuseries): “HBO Allen V. Farrow it is an overwhelming documentary series; their emotional intensity should come with a trigger warning. The docuseries analyze allegations of sexual abuse against Oscar-winning director Woody Allen made by adopted daughter Dylan Farrow in 1992, when she was just 7 years old.

Bedside tables
Men in Kilts: A Journey with Sam and Graham: Eating and Drinking (Starz, 9 p.m.): We touched on this affable series of travel notebooks (an advertising trip? Maybe?), But really, if you want first-rate landscape pornography, lovely accents, and sightings on your knees, Starz has you covered.
The history of the songs, “Céline Dion: history of her songs” (Reelz, 9 p.m.): What can you expect from this look at La Céline’s songs? Well, probably some cold moments, some flashes of light, some things he will never do again, but they always seemed right.
