Last week’s Episode 3 climaxed with Eve (Sandra Oh) and her spy mentor Bill following hit woman Villanelle (Jodie Comer) into a crowded nightclub – where Villanelle, largely to upset Eve, gave new meaning to the phrase “Kill Bill.” Tonight, Eve’s pursuit of Villanelle gets even more personal as a result – and, by episode’s end, for Eve and for others, even more dangerous.

THE CIRCUS: INSIDE THE WILDEST POLITICAL SHOW ON EARTH By David Bianculli

The Circus, simply by following the news this season, has gotten increasingly and aggressively global in its reporting – visiting Russia and England last week, and France tonight. I see England, I see France, I see Putin’s underhanded ways of attacking American democracy…

WESTWORLD By David Bianculli

Tonight’s Episode 2 of Season 2 is called “Reunion,” and delivers on its promise by putting together, in the same scene, characters who have exchanged dialogue only once before, early in Season 1: Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and Maeve (Thandie Newton). When last they met, Maeve was a brothel operator, and Dolores a rancher’s sweet-hearted daughter. This season, they’re both rebellious women on specific missions: Maeve is searching for her daughter, and Dolores is out

HOMELAND By David Bianculli

SEASON FINALE: Last week, the covert mission by Saul and Carrie (Mandy Patinkin, Claire Danes) was interrupted forcibly – and so was the presidency of the current occupant of the White House, leaving Saul and Carrie on foreign soil without a country. Or, at least, without authorization for their covert abduction attempt. And tonight, in the Season 7 finale, all the chickens come home to roost. And maybe Saul and Carrie, too.

BILLIONS By David Bianculli

When Axe and Chuck were maneuvering to bait and outmaneuver each other last season, one of the crucial elements in both plans was an unscrupulous doctor. Tonight, Axe fears that the doctor retained some crucial evidence that could implicate Axe – and sets out to learn the truth and recover that evidence, while Chuck, with very different goals in mind, is working that very same trail.

THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT By David Bianculli

Every once in a while, TCM digs up a treasure that is unusual and obscure even by that network’s exacting and exhaustive standards. This is such a case: A 1955 science fiction movie made by Britain’s lovingly low-rent Hammer Films studio, starring the equally low-rent American actor Brian Donlevy. The plot, considering that it predates the Soviet Sputnik experiment that launched the Space Race, is somewhat extraordinary. Professor Bernard Quatermass (Donlevy) has launched the first h

GENIUS: "PICASSO" By David Bianculli

Parts 1 and 2. In case you missed the start-up of the second season of National Geographic’s very informative and entertaining biography series, the first two installments of Genius: Picasso are presented tonight, back to back. This series, like its predecessor about Albert Einstein, tracks two timelines simultaneously, with different actors playing the artist as a younger and older man.

TINY SHOULDERS: RETHINKING BARBIE By David Bianculli

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: What a doll! Barbie has been around since the 1950s, and the Mattel icon has undergone endless redesigns, as well as fashion designs, in an effort to make Barbie more relevant, more liberated – and, of course, to make Mattel more money. In 2016, Mattel launched “Curvy Barbie,” the plastic doll equivalent of a plus-size fashion model, and this documentary traces its development and release, while sidestepping most of the backlash criticism. But from Barbie
