Stretching out every ratings point and hour it can from this hit series, NBC tonight presents a highlights package of the Voice season thus far. Cynical? Yes. Worth watching? Yes, because there’s so much talent competing this cycle – and because Alicia Keys has emerged, this year, as the Voice judge with the most heart, and, at times, with the most ruthlessly effective tactics for luring the teammates she most desires.

IZOMBIE By David Bianculli

The clever conceit of this undead procedural is that Rose McIver’s Liv, a “functioning zombie” who works as a morgue assistant in a crime lab, eats brains of murder victims to absorb insights about their final memories, unavoidably also absorbing, temporarily, the personalities of the deceased.

MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. By David Bianculli

The alternate reality world that is part of the computerized matrix known as “the Framework” has absorbed virtually all the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., only two of which are aware of the illusion, and of their true identities. To everyone else hooked into the Framework, they’re living in an alternate world where they work for the evil HYDRA organization, which is fully in control. And it’s worth noting that the evil organization’s control, this week, extends even to ABC

THE AMERICANS By David Bianculli

The handlers of Philip and Elizabeth, Frank Langella’s Gabriel and Margo Martindale’s Claudia, decide tonight what to do with the news that Philip’s long-estranged, now-grown son from a former relationship has smuggled himself into the United States, and is trying desperately to track down his father.

‘THE GREAT WAR’ RAISES THE IDEA OF LEARNING FROM OUR MISTAKES By David Hinckley

BETTER CALL SAUL MARATHON By David Bianculli

Season 3 of Better Call Saul begins tonight – for details, see its separate listing below – and AMC completes its three-week Monday scene-setter for Saul viewers by, today, repeating all of Season 2 in its entirety. It’s a great TV show, and a great season – and it ends with a revelation that will be continued immediately, in the very same scene, as Season 3 begins. And ask yourself, watching the Season 2 finale: “Who wrote the one-word note placed on Mike’s w

THE VOICE By David Bianculli

The Knockout rounds continue this week, including tonight’s Team Gwen face-off between Stephanie Rice and Troy Ramey. Two very different styles, but two talented performers. Like the judges this season, contestants on this cycle of The Voice display an awful lot of chemistry and appeal.
