DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.

The Matchmaker (RTÉ 2, 9.45pm)

A lesser known installment in the ‘Hollywood comes to Ireland’ genre – but a decent one nonetheless. A ruthless American political aide sets out on a mission to find her boss’s relatives in the rural Irish townland of Ballinagra. She arrives in the middle of a local matchmaking festival, where a wily old Cupid senses the sparks between her and an equally cynical local boy, who has recently returned to the village to write a novel. Starring Janeane Garofalo, David O’Hara, Milo O’Shea and Denis Leary.

The Ray D’Arcy Show (RTE One, 9.45pm)

Deirdre O’Kane and PJ Gallagher discuss their forthcoming St Patrick’s Day comedy showcase in Dublin, while former TDs Áine Collins, John Lyons and former Senator Averil Power speak about life inside and outside the corridors of Dáil Éireann. #RayDarcyShow
