“The Final Year” focuses on the foreign policy team of the Obama administration. And a mother tries to make amends with her estranged family in “Sando.”

What’s on TV

THE FINAL YEAR (2018) 8 p.m. on HBO; also on HBO streaming platforms. Over the course of 2016, the documentarian Greg Barker followed four key members of Barack Obama’s foreign policy team as they traversed the globe trying to solidify policies on matters like the Syrian war, relations with Cuba and the Iran nuclear deal. The film’s strongest moments come when they realize they may have to hand off their legacy to Donald J. Trump, who, as a presidential candidate, pledged to reverse many of Mr. Obama’s decisions. (He did just that this month when he chose to withdraw from the Iran deal.) “‘The Final Year’ may make viewers miss President Obama’s people,” Glenn Kenny wrote in The New York Times. “Unlike Marvel or DC superheroes in the movies, they won’t be back any time soon.”

MISS USA 8 p.m. on Fox. Vanessa and Nick Lachey host this two-hour beauty pageant. Kára McCullough, who was crowned Miss USA in 2017, will pass the honor to her successor. In 2015, NBC and Univision canceled their plans to broadcast the pageant over remarks made by Mr. Trump, who owned Miss Universe from 1997 to 2015. In 2016, The Times reported that Mr. Trump treated women inappropriately for years backstage.
