The afterlife, it turns out, is a place where they make cool sitcoms. Who knew?...

Last week, This Is Us was pre-empted by the State of the Union Address. This week, the show’s narrative picks up with part two of “Songbird Road,” which allows, among other things, another look back at Milo Ventimiglia as Jack and Mandy Moore as Rebecca.

We’re getting near the end of this second season, and the various factions of powerful mutants are taking sides, taking names – and taking aim – against each other.

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: Nick Buoniconti was the aggressive, instinctive linebacker for the Miami Dolphins during their Don Shula-led championship years, including the team’s still-unmatched undefeated season (in which the Dolphins won every regular season and postseason game, including the Super Bowl – take that, New England Patriots!). This documentary tells Buoniconti’s story – a story that only begins there, and establishes a narrative that includes as much tragedy as tr

SERIES PREMIERE: This seven-part comedy series is based on a book by Simon Rich, creator of the unforgivably underrated FXX series Man Seeking Woman. And yes, this new TBS series, about minions in heaven trying to save the planet Earth in general and one not-yet-a-couple in particular, has sparks of the same surrealistic imagination – but not until many episodes in, when God, played by Steve Buscemi, returns “home.” At home, it turns out, he has disapproving parents and a coupl

In tonight’s new Episode 5, the little girl who’s being protected by the show’s hero takes matters into her own hands, and protects him – which surprises and amazes them both. What other untapped powers does she have? And where, in this story about genetically engineered mutant vampires, are they coming from?

Tonight’s episode is called “Dark Flower,” and it finds a way, at last, to team on the same mission the down-on-his-luck reporter (Chris Pine) and the young girl (India Eisley) who’s key to the story’s central mystery. In a way, by coincidence, this mystery miniseries has the same central relationship as that of The Passage. And they’re both very interesting dramas.

This new A&E documentary presents the story of Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, who ran the famed celebrity-driven New York nightclub Studio 54. Today, the India Eisley site is the home of a Roundabout Theatre Broadway showcase, which presented such modern theatrical classics as the remakes of Cabaret and Assassins. Back then, it was more famous for D&D – not Dungeons and Dragons, but Drugs and Disco…
