2) “Bulletproof” season-opener, 9 p.m., CW. With most movie theaters closed, people might crave some action. They get it – almost instantly – in this British series. A drug-bust goes sideways; there’s running, driving and sensational motorcycle stunt work. Then the show settles into this season’s plot, as two cops try to infiltrate a fierce crime family. There’s a lot of bickering between cops, much of it clever … if we can penetrate the accents. If not? Another big action scene is at the end of this hour.

3) Swimsuit films, Turner Classic Movies. For the next three Wednesdays, TCM celebrates folks who look fine in beachwear. Quite often, that involves one-piece suits – Esther Williams in “Million Dollar Mermaid” (1952) at 8 p.m. ET and in “Dangerous When Wet” (1953) at 5 a.m., a memorable Bo Derek in “10” at 1 a.m. Prefer two-piece?
