TV's Best Bets

Friday, Feb. 11

“The Perfect Storm,” 7-10 p.m., AMC. After this, we really will be afraid to go near the water. “Jaws” (1975) is at 8 p.m. on BBC America, on the same night that Mark Wahlberg is in two movies about real-life disasters. “Deepwater Horizon” (2016) has a fire on an offshore oil rig; “Perfect Storm” (starring George Clooney) has weather extremes converge on boaters in Massachusetts. “Jaws” is a classic; the others were well-crafted, each nominated for two technical Oscars.

“Inventing Anna,” Netflix. For four years, a young German socialite got attention and money from rich Americans — until they found out it was a sham. Julia Garner stars in the 11-parter from Shonda Rhimes, the “Bridgerton” and “Grey’s Anatomy” producer. Also streaming today: the second season of the Hulu comedy “Dollface” (15 months after the first season ended) … and pre-valentine romances, including Charlie Day and Jenny Slate in Amazon Prime’s “I Want You Back.”

Olympics hockey, 11 p.m., cable. Hockey fans might do a lot of channel-switching tonight. Simultaneously, CNBC has the women’s quarterfinals and the USA Network has one of the key battles for men, with the U.S. and Canada.

More Olympics. In primetime (8-11 p.m.), NBC has live coverage of the final runs of mixed-team cross snowboarding. It’s also live for the women’s Alpine downhill training runs. Taped coverage includes speedskating (women’s 1,000-meter finals, men’s relay semi-finals), men’s skeleton finals and men’s large-hill skiing qualifiers. Other taped coverage is all day on USA and 2-5 p.m. on NBC.

“Blue Bloods,” 10 p.m., CBS. With “Celebrity Big Brother” gobbling two CBS hours tonight, this is the only scripted show on the big-five networks. It’s a rerun of the season’s second episode, with Frank making an arrest that goes viral; that heightens his tensions with the mayor. Also, one of Frank’s sons (Danny) investigates a gang attack; another (Jamie) frets when his wife lies about where she’s going.
