4) “Queen Sugar,” season-opener, 8 p.m.,, Oprah Winfrey Network. The final season finds lives in motion – again. Charley has returned to Los Angeles, but her son Micah remains a strong figure. The threat of the family farm being sold was settled when it received historic designation. Ralph Angel and Darla have just had their second daughter, as she struggles with past addiction and abuse.

The film interviews Republicans, including Jeff Flake, Mark Sanford, Adam Kinzinger and Alyssa Griffin.
