The Good Wife 10 p.m., Channel 4

Still not quite buying Alan Cumming as Eli Gold. His accent is spotty, and he just seems miscast as a political operative deeply ensconced in New York. But otherwise, the casting on this show is strong. Scott Porter is compelling as Kalinda’s maybe-nemesis, and Titus Welliver is perfectly creepy as Glenn Childs. Tonight, Anika Noni Rose, who won a Tony for “Caroline, or Change’’ and costarred in “No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency,’’ guest stars as a new state’s attorney candidate. Pictured: Cumming with Julianna Margulies.

Frontline 9 p.m., Channel 2

In this installment of the documentary series, called “The Spill,’’ Martin Smith and the nonprofit ProPublica newsroom report on whether the Deepwater Horizon accident that led to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill was preventable. They look at BP’s safety record and interview current and former BP executives and employees.
