RAISED BY WOLVES By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: Rebekah Staton stars in this new six-episode British import, playing the eccentric mother of six very precocious children – one boy and five girls.

SUITED By David Bianculli

Lena Dunham is producer of this new documentary by Jason Benjamin, which profiles a Brooklyn tailor shop, Bindle & Keep, which specializes in custom suits and apparel for transgender and gender-nonconforming clients. It’s a positive story – and an especially well-timed one in the wake of the recent mass shooting in Orlando.

BRAINDEAD By David Bianculli

Apparently, CBS is televising this series on both Sunday and Monday nights, offering a next-day repeat – at least for now. But that’s good news, even if it’s temporary, because this gives you a second chance to catch the second episode of BrainDead. And that’s the one that summarizes all of the activity from the premiere episode into a jaunty opening theme song, catching you up to date instantly. Don’t miss it – it’s such a fun, enjoyable recap, it feels

2016 NBA FINALS By David Bianculli

One ESPN writer, in trying to put tonight’s winner-take-all Game 7 in perspective, wrote, “This is as big as sports gets.” On the one side: The Golden State Warriors, led by Stephen Curry, whose confident, long-distance style of play has changed the game of pro basketball. The Warriors are the defending NBA champions, having beaten LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers in six games last year, and also are coming off the best regular season in basketball history. The Warriors

BRAINDEAD By David Bianculli

This is Episode 2 of BrainDead, the clever new summer series from Good Wife creators Robert and Michelle King. And whether or not you saw last week’s premiere, don’t sweat it: Tonight’s episode is preceded by a theme song and montage that’s actually a musical “previously on…” recap. It’s one of the cleverest, goofiest TV ideas in years and the really should tune in to experience and enjoy it. And then, of course, stay tuned and do the same thing f
