“American Idol” (8 p.m., ABC): OK, viewers, now it’s up to you. After solo and celebrity duet performances with the top 24 contestants, the judges narrowed down the field to the top 14 finalists. From here on out, audience voting determines everything — unless Russian hackers get involved.
“Westworld” (9 p.m. Sunday, HBO): It’s payback time as the dark, mind-bending thriller returns for its highly anticipated second season. When we last left the futuristic theme park, its enslaved “hosts” had learned that they weren’t actually humans, but androids programmed to follow a script and serve at the pleasure of their flesh-and-bone guests.
