MINISERIES FINALE: This episode ends the mystery, and the drama, at the core of I Am the Night. The actual climax may strain credulity a bit, but getting there is more than half the fun. India Eisley stars as Fauna, the young woman who finally comes face to face with the darkest secrets from her family past. Chris Pine co-stars.

OPRAH WINFREY PRESENTS: AFTER NEVERLAND By David Bianculli

The trio of people most involved with the making of HBO’s just-concluded Leaving Neverland – filmmaker Dan Reed, and documentary subjects Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who have accused Miichael Jackson of sexually abusing them for years when they were younger – is interviewed in this special by host Oprah Winfrey, who simulcasts this same special on her own network. Or, just as accurately, on her OWN network.

LEAVING NEVERLAND By David Bianculli

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: This two-part, four-hour documentary concludes tomorrow night, and both halves are tough to watch, yet important to witness. Director Dan Reed builds his narrative around two thirtysomething adults who claim to have been sexually abused, as young children, by Michael Jackson. The stories they tell – augmented by stories from their family members and spouses – gain emotional power and heft the more we hear them. And Leaving Neverland is significant, and lingering

SHAMELESS By David Bianculli

Last week, Fiona finally hit rock bottom, by teaming with her shiftless (and fellow alcoholic) father Frank on a scheme to benefit from others during a power blackout, and ending the episode acknowledging her behavior by showing up at the same AA meeting as her still-emerging-from-rock-bottom brother Lip. You may think, for her and the rest of the Gallagher clan, there’s no way to go but up… yet they’ve disproven that many times before.

TOOTSIE By David Bianculli

Many times, when watching a Dustin Hoffman movie, you have to watch more than once to truly appreciate the contributions of his co-stars. In The Graduate, Hoffman is the center that demands the spotlight – but Anne Bancroft’s performance as Mrs. Robinson, ranging from underplayed comedy to fierce anger, is crucial to the movie’s success. In All the President’s Men, Hoffman has the showier part as Carl Bernstein, but Robert Redford much more than holds his own. In Rain Man
