The Bad Guardian      (movie)       (8 pm, Lifetime Channel)

"The Bad Guardian" is a riveting thriller about one woman’s fight to 
save her father from the clutches of a corrupt and greedy 
court-appointed “guardian.” When Leigh’s (Melissa Joan Hart) father 
Jason (Eric Pierpoint) suffers a fall while she’s out of town, the 
courts assign Jason a guardian, Janet (La La Anthony). At first Janet 
seems to be a big help to Jason, but things quickly take a terrible 
turn. Janet is legally in charge of every aspect of Jason’s life, and 
doesn’t waste any time placing him in a nursing home, auctioning off his 
house, all worldly possessions, and using the excuse that the proceeds 
are needed for his care. As Leigh continues to challenge Janet’s 
efforts, the guardian ultimately uses her power to prevent the family 
from visiting. In Janet’s care, Jason’s health deteriorates, to the 
point that he needs a life-saving treatment which Janet decides is too 
expensive. As the whistleblowers around Jason meet untimely ends, Leigh 
finds the strength to take down the guardian and the corrupt system that 
supports her.
