What’s on TV

THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS (2017) 7 p.m. on FX. “Look out! Watch those people!” That line is yelled midway through this movie by the actress Nathalie Emmanuel. At the time, her character — a hacktivist named Ramsey — is careening through the New York City air in the passenger seat of a Mercedes-Benz that has been equipped to shoot harpoon-like projectiles. So the line rings out as somewhat unexpectedly conscientious. The chase, which includes Dwayne Johnson plowing through fallen scaffolding in a beefed-up pickup and culminates with a circle of vehicles firing their harpoon-things into a muscle car driven by Vin Diesel, also encapsulates the way this series taken the gas-guzzling action it introduced nearly two decades ago and, with each iteration, pushed matters even further over the top. “As the cars zig and the story line zags, these sequences grow baroque, defying reason and gravity, which have progressively come under siege in this franchise,” Manohla Dargis wrote in her review of this most recent movie in the series for The New York Times. ” To chart out that increasing aversion to the laws of physics yourself (or to prepare for the spinoff, “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw,” out this weekend), see also FAST & FURIOUS (2009) and FAST FIVE (2011), airing at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Syfy.
