Two of the season’s best dramas end their too-brief seasons.

Turn your attention from the current global crisis to another one — the soaring summer temperatures of climate change in “The Hottest August,” a film that looks at the many problems of New York one month in 2017 (when, bad as it seemed, there weren’t mass graves dug to accommodate the dead). Brett Story’s film makes its debut on “Independent Lens” (PBS, 10 p.m., check local listings).
Mass shootings was one of those problems in New York, and it’s the central focus of the generation in Colorado as seen in the documentary “Generation Columbine” (Starz, 9 p.m.).

The bakery is flourishing due to the high profile romance at the center of “The Baker and the Beauty” (ABC, 10 p.m.).
The crew devises new interests on “Dispatches from Elsewhere” (AMC, 10:25 p.m.).

On “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” (VH1, 8 p.m.) has women taking pregnancy tests on the ski trip.
I understand “WWE Monday Night RAW” (USA, 8 p.m.) has been operating without an audience. I know they don’t have one here.
