Game 3. The Houston Astros have taken the first two games in this year’s American League Championship Series, beating the New York Yankees, both times, by a score of 2-1. During Sunday’s Game 2, the Astros scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. For Game 3, the Yankees have home-field advantage, meaning the Yankees, not the Astros, will get the last at-bat.

Last week, Reed (Stephen Moyer) negotiated with his captors, promising to lead them to the Mutant Underground in exchange for protecting his family. Meanwhile, Polaris (Emma Dumont, pictured) is about to be on the loose, and arguing her terms in a much more powerful way.

It’s an easy sell, and now even more so, to depict Hollywood as one big, soulless, immoral den of iniquity...

Let’s assume Jamie Foxx didn’t go to the trouble of creating the entire new Showtime series White Famous so he could give himself an amusingly graphic sex scene in the opening episode...

If you really, really, really don’t need one more TV show to occupy more of your life, don’t start watching the murder mystery Acceptable Risk, because once you do, it’s devilishly hard to stop...

Game 2. In last night’s opening game of the 2017 National League Championship Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Chicago Cubs, 5-2, with a relative lack of drama. Tonight, the second game in the series.

In tonight’s episode of The Deuce, new business propositions abound. Vincent has a proposition for the Times Square pimps, offering to house their women in indoor parlors not rousted by police. The pimps want to know how much Frankie will pay for their cooperation, and Frankie introduces the idea of the new economy: the pimps are expected to pay. And in another new-concept approach, one of the girls, Candy (Maggie Gyllenhaal), begins learning about the underground world of short sex films,

Last week upped the body count on Ray Donovan, with at least three corpses, by my count, revealed in the episode’s final moments.

TCM’s Sunday tribute to Dracula movies continues, and tonight it includes an unusual addition to the Hammer horror film franchise from England. Peter Cushing, who appears in several Hammer films as vampire hunter Doctor Van Helsing, is a star of 1960’s The Brides of Dracula, which TCM televises tonight at 9:45 ET. But his co-star, this time, isn’t the famous Hammer Dracula as embodied by Christopher Lee. It’s David Peel, in his penultimate role before retiring from the in
