1) “Transplant,” 9 p.m., NBC. Dr. Bashir Hamed is used to obstacles. After helping rebels in Syria, he reached Canada with his sister. Now his friends face steep trouble, both back home and at the hospital where he works. This hour is stuffed with physical and emotional pain. Bash finds frustration (his boss bars him from surgery) and joy: He finally has a love interest — Mags (they’re shown here), an intense doctor who is his opposite in many ways.
2) “Everyone Else Burns” opener, 9:30 p.m., CW. David clings to his beliefs, convinced he’ll have eternal rewards while others face hellfire. Still, he can’t conquer the church hierarchy … or mold his family. Played by Simon Bird, former star of the teen comedy “The Inbetweeners,” David is close to being one-note. But this British comedy is salvaged by others, especially his daughter, a good-hearted teen grasping for bits of normality.
3) More comedies, CW. Two line-ups have swapped nights. The lusty “FBoy Island” went to Mondays and the Monday shows take its Thursday spot. That starts with three Canadian comedies: On “Son of a Critch” (8 p.m.), Mark is looking forward to the start of school – until he learns Fox has a boyfriend. On “Run the Burbs” (8:30), Andrew interviews for a dream job; on “Children Ruin Everything” (9), the default babysitter retires.
4) “Hell’s Kitchen,” 8 p.m., Fox. It’s time for a relay challenge, with chefs tasting and identifying proteins as quickly as possible. The winners try axe-throwing with Gordon Ramsay; the losers … well, can be glad they’re not near an axe-wielding Ramsay. Afterward, “Lego Masters” manages to combine plastic blocks and the Cirque Du Soleil.
5) “FBI True,” 10 p.m., CBS. Alongside its usual Tuesday spot, this series – originally on Paramount+ — adds an etra hour. That starts with the 15-year search for Whitey Bulger, a mobster accused of 19 murders. It’s followed by the story of a “surge” strategy, dismantling rival gangs in Newburgh (population 29,000), which had become the most violent city in the state of New York.
