LOVE ISLAND By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: Pay attention. The last times CBS saturated its airwaves with a new reality competition series, it was to launch Survivor, which changed the TV landscape in the year 2000, and Big Brother, which, like Survivor, is still around. I wish it weren’t, but that’s me. Anyway, this new series, stripped every weeknight beginning tonight, is CBS’s version of a hit reality dating show from England. And for a British account of that original&n

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL By David Bianculli

And tonight’s lineup is so good, it’s like a time-travel trip through the. universe of seminal sci-fi films involving outer space. The voyage begins at 8 p.m. ET with The Day the Earth Stood Still (pictured) from1951. That’s followed by 1953’s War of the Worlds at 9:45 p.m. ET, then 1956’s Forbidden Planet at 11:30 p

LEGION By David Bianculli

A future version of Syd (Rachel Keller) fears that the powerful mutant psychic David (Dan Stevens) is the reason the world ends, and travels back in time to kill him before that happens. David, meanwhile, hopes that if he travels back in time himself, he can put things right, and establish a new time line that doesn’t involve destroying the planet. And in the weird world of Legion, it’s quite possible they’re both right…

YEARS AND YEARS By David Bianculli

Now that we’re already two episodes into Years and Years, and the near-future plot has moved more than five years ahead, we’ve seen how Russell T. Davies has imagined our political tomorrow – which has us witnessing, in this what-if global political drama, not only the re-election of Donald Trump, but the election, in 2024, of… President Pence. And Emma Thompson, as a reactionary British headline-grabber who ascends to MP, has just taken the reins of power back

SCREAM: THE TV SERIES By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: This is not a recommendation. For two seasons, this forgettable TV spinoff of the Scream horror movie franchise was shown on MTV. Season 3 was planned for a 2016 debut on MTV, but has sat on the shelf until now – and now, three years later, appears not on MTV, but on sister network VH1. And not as a weekly series, but burned off as quickly as possible: two back-to-back episodes tonight, with two more televised Tuesday and Wednesday. In other words, VH1,

NEW SPECIALS REVISIT THE FIRST WALK ON THE MOON By David Hinckley

Something like half a billion people gathered around TV sets in 1969 to watch a moment that remains an exhilarating testament to what humans can do when they don’t waste so much of their energy fighting each other. So it should surprise no one that television will spend many hours this month revisiting that event...

Here it is: The 2019 FIFA World Cup Women’s Final, with the U.S.A. vs. the Netherlands. The U.S. is in white, the Dutch is in yellow, and this final should be a very colorful, flowing game.
