TV picks: 'Feed the Beast,' 'UnReal,' 'The Americans' and more

* FEED THE BEAST. 10 p.m. Sunday, then moves to 10 p.m. Tuesdays, AMC. In a food-infused drama, hard-luck Tommy (David Schwimmer) teams with bad-news Dion (One Day's Jim Sturgess) to open a high-end restaurant in the Bronx. Every course brings more bad news. Philly's John Doman (The Wire) plays Tommy's father.

* FEED THE BEAST. 10 p.m. Sunday, then moves to 10 p.m. Tuesdays, AMC.

* DEVIOUS MAIDS. 9 p.m. Monday, Lifetime.

Philly's Ana Ortiz returns for a fourth season of upstairs/downstairs intrigue in this sudsy series from Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry.

* UNREAL. 10 p.m. Monday, Lifetime.

One of last summer's best dramas returns with Rachel (Shiri Appleby) now running Everlasting, the Bachelor-like show-within-a-show that's about to get its first African American "suitor." Recommended both for fans of the long-running ABC exercise in public humiliation and for those who'd sooner have their eyes scratched out by bachelorette fingernails than endure a single rose ceremony.

* THE AMERICANS. 10 p.m. Wednesday, FX.

Best to add extra time to the DVR for the fourth-season finale, where some Major Stuff goes down and (spoiler alert) Philip and Elizabeth completely miss seeing their local team get whupped in the 1984 Super Bowl.

* STREETS OF COMPTON. 9 p.m. Thursday, A&E.

NWA, the Game, Kendrick Lamar, and others revisit their storied neighborhood in a three-part documentary.
