Most of the 9/11 20th anniversary documentaries so far have concentrated on the shocking and heartbreaking events of that day. “America After 9/11,” a two hour report on “Frontline” (PBS, 9 p.m., check local listings) is more illuminating, tying the American reaction to the attacks — with wars, xenophobia, and torture at Guantanamo — to the kind of division that lead to the Jan. 6 insurrection this year.
As in the photo above, the domestic attack at the Capitol plays in stark contrast to the bipartisan singing of “God Bless America” on its steps on Sept. 11, 2001 by 150 members of Congress. (A sinister variation of the patriotic song underscores the troubled truths that follow).
Other 9/11 fare today includes a report on the Pentagon attack on “Air Disasters” (Smithsonian, 10 p.m.).
Julie Delpy created and stars in the new series “On the Verge” (Netflix, streaming) about four L.A. women navigating life in their 40s. Elisabeth Shue, Sarah Jones and Alexia Landeau costar.
Daniel Craig talks about his time as 007 in the documentary “Being James Bond” (Apple TV, streaming).
“Untold” (Netflix, streaming), the five part series of sports documentaries, ends with the story of former tennis star Mardy Fish and his mental health struggles.
The morning news show “CBS This Morning” is rebranded as “CBS Mornings” (CBS, 7 p.m.), with Nate Burleson joining Gayle King and Tony Kokoupil as co-host.
Also in morning television, “The View” (ABC, 11 a.m.) returns for a new season, back in the studio for the first time in 18 months.
