DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: Part 1 of 2. Scheduled to premiere last year but postponed, here comes another sports documentary, like ESPN’s The Last Dance about the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan, that shows up during the pandemic to remind us of the times when sports were played as thousands of fans gathered, closely huddled, to watch and cheer. This is a biography of Tiger Woods, so expect some stunning highs – and, away from the links, some noteworthy and unavoidable lows. Fo

This series was intense from the very start, but now it’s getting insane. Last week, New Orleans judge Michael Desiato, played by Bryan Cranston, was being blackmailed by someone who claimed to have proof that the judge’s son was the true culprit in the fatal hit-and-run of the teen son of Jimmy Baxter, a powerful New Orleans mob boss. And as the judge was dealing with that, the mobster in question (played. By Michael Stuhlbarg, pictured) made the link between his son’s fatalit

The Odd Couple was a quality ABC sitcom of the 1970s, one of the few from that network able to compete with the new quality comedy series from CBS at the start of that decade: shows such as The Mary Tyler Moore Show, All in the Family, and M*A*S*H. Today and tomorrow, the Decades network presents selected episodes from the 1970-75 run of The Odd Couple, which was based on the Neil Simon play and movie and successfully expanded for television by series creators

SEASON PREMIERE: Hailee Steinfeld returns as Emily Dickinson for Season 2 of this aggressively anachronistic period piece. It’s an examination of celebrity and ambition, artistic angst, and sexism that has fun mixing old and new: this season, when someone close to the poet begins spreading word of Emily’s literary output, that person is referred to by Emily, admirably, as “an influencer.” The first three episodes of Season 2 drop today on Apple TV+, with the remaining epi

The remainder are new, presenting casual conversations in which she discusses New York, and sometimes herself, with longtime friend Martin Scorsese, who also directs. HBO showcased Lebowitz similarly in 2010&rsquo
