Black Market With Michael K. Williams 10 p.m.-midnight., Viceland

If your TV diet for the past few weeks has been nothing but fatty political filler, consider this proposed night parked in front of Viceland a kind of master cleanse. Tonight is a great chance to catch up on this gripping docu-series hosted by Michael K. Williams (of “The Wire” and “Boardwalk Empire”) as he delves into all manner of illicit dealings. Tonight’s four-pack explores joyriding in Jersey, the nationwide “lean” (codeine syrup) trade, interstate gun running, and abalone poaching in South Africa. Then, just when you’re feeling that high-potency dose of reality start to kick in. . .

Eraserhead midnight, Viceland

. . . BOOM! A two-hour dystopian fever dream. “Eraserhead” has everything: unsettling low frequencies, creepy radiator ladies, hideous baby-monsters, the haircut from Kid & Play. Spend enough time trembling in David Lynch’s world, and ours might not seem so messed up after all.
