What’s on TV

SWEETBITTER 9 p.m. on Starz. Last year Starz added this drama series — adapted from the novel by Stephanie Danler — to the list of shows about young women navigating life in the Big Apple (think “Girls” and “Sex and the City”). The focus here is on Tess (Ella Purnell), a 20-something naïf who leaves the Midwest and is offered a trial position at a high-end Manhattan restaurant. In the first season, she discovered the inner-workings of the dining world, got a taste of New York City night life and found a love interest (or two). Season 2 debuts with two back-to-back episodes and picks up after Tess has been handed the job. No longer the new girl in town, she’s a little more at ease but realizes there is plenty to learn if she wants to keep her head above water.

TOP GEAR 8 p.m. on BBC America. Despite some mishaps, this motor show is still going strong. In Season 27, the host Chris Harris returns alongside new faces Freddie Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness. Their first challenge? Buying examples of their first cars and driving them out to Ethiopia’s sweltering Danakil Depression.
