Bravo is a reality channel for most of Friday, and then it isn’t. From 6pm ET it runs the whole Blade trilogy, three films of 150 minutes each, and the middle one is the best of them.

Blade II airs at 8:30pm ET, a slightly odd start time that follows from Blade running at 6pm and ending half an hour past the hour. It’s a 2002 film directed by Guillermo del Toro, with Wesley Snipes and Kris Kristofferson in the cast, and it is the sharpest piece of programming Bravo has all day. Four stars. It also has the least company to worry about: the other channels at 8:30pm ET offer Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire on Freeform and Newlyweds on NBC, so anyone who wants action and horror has a clear run.

Blade at 6pm ET is the 1998 original, and it works as a warm-up. Three stars for a film that sets up what comes after. The finale of the evening, Blade: Trinity, arrives at 11pm ET. It’s a 2004 film from David S. Goyer with Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds in it, and it gets two stars, because the series is clearly running out of road by then. Only the completists should stay up.

Before the movies, Bravo does what Bravo does. Below Deck runs from 4am until 6pm ET, and the seasons are shuffled: season 10 fills the morning, then season 13 opens at 3pm ET, then season 11 and season 13 again. Anyone trying to follow one charter season in order will be disappointed. Anyone who just wants the yacht on in the background will not.

The overnight hours belong to the Real Housewives of New York City, Salt Lake City and Potomac, followed by Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen at 3am ET. That’s a strong lineup for a Friday if you’re awake for it.

For most viewers, though, the night begins at 6pm and the decision is simple: Blade II is the one to pick.
