This week’s news includes an escalation in the reach of, and reactions to, the coronavirus, and the buildup to yesterday’s South Carolina primary, from which Joe Biden emerged as the dominant victor. But that was Saturday. How will this Sunday series be able to cover all that, and more, so quickly? The only way to know is to watch.

In this new episode, Zoey hears the internal song of someone who, to this point, has been unreadable and inscrutable: her supportive but sassy neighbor, Mo (Alex Newell).

Last week’s midseason premiere ended with an explosion, a cave-in, and a pair of apparent deaths. But on this show, death is not necessarily the last word, no matter what – and the people trapped in the cave may yet find a way out – if, that is, Daryl can find a way in.

This is the penultimate episode of this limited series, and we are indeed getting close to the pivotal part of the plot. The shape-shifting evil creature has begun evolving into his chosen next victim, but Holly (Cynthia Erivo) and company have identified and taken custody of that victim, providing him with an airtight alibi against whatever crimes the shapeshifter might commit in his name – and his apparent, duplicate body. And this week, that leads to a confrontation, as the evil spirit is flushed out from his hiding place. It’s a sinister series, aided by Stephen King’s original story, Richard Price’s adaptation, and some very unsettling music on the soundtrack.

This fourth episode is the last one Showtime gave to critics in advance – and it had me at the edge of my seat. Watch, and see where you end up sitting…

SERIES PREMIERE: This new limited series stars Jason Segel as Peter, a morose but attentive man drawn into what may be either an intricate real-life role-playing game or an alternate reality of sorts. He ends up being teamed with a trio of similarly adrift folks, played by Sally Field, Andre Benjamin and Eve Lindley – all of whom are moved around Philadelphia and elsewhere by a mysterious figure from an even more mysterious corporation. He’s played by Richard E. Grant – and his introduction, in the first 30 seconds of tonight’s premiere, ranks as one of the most inventive and arresting openings of a TV series ever made. Perhaps
the most. Don’t miss it. For full reviews, see
David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower, and

This may be the best season of Curb since the season about Larry starring in The Producers – and this time, the season-long running story line is the preparation for the opening of Larry David’s “spite store,” the café known as “Latte Larry.” It’s a strange brew, with lots of amusing notes.
