Part 4. Tonight’s installment is titled “Resolve,” and covers all of 1966 and half of 1967. If you’re old enough to remember that part of the Sixties, you know those were very tumultuous times – with even more upheaval to come. And at home as well as in Vietnam, the war is turning out to be received much, much differently than WWII. For a full review of tonight’s episode, see Alex Strachan’s TV That Matters. Check local listings.

That’s true tonight of Brady (Harry Treadaway), the vehicular serial killer who lives at home with his very clingy mom, played by Kelly Lynch. And tonight, the mother confronts her son after finding his clown mask – the same mask linked to the “Mr. Mercedes” killer.

SEASON PREMIERE: Last season, The Good Place pulled off an end-of-season surprise that was the most unexpected, sneaky and clever plot twist since the Mel Brooks The Producers season of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. In The Good Place, the entire season had presented Kristen Bell’s Eleanor as being a person sent mistakenly to heaven – the titular good place – and trying to either fake or earn her way to permanent residency there. Ted Danson played the “angel” pre

SPECIAL PREMIERE: Jerry Seinfeld signed to do two comedy specials for Netflix, and this one, his first, is a smartly autobiographical trip back to his comedy roots. Seinfeld returns, physically, to one of the first comedy clubs where he got his start, and performs some of his earliest material – while, at the same time, presenting new jokes and a new, older perspective. It’s a very funny hour, which is no surprise. But it’s a delight that Seinfeld, as with both his Seinfeld ser
