BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s the night one of the Top 11 gets eliminated – unless he or she pulls off a live performance so impressive and impassioned it inspires one of the judges to grant an instant reprieve. Otherwise, the winnowing continues, as we head to the inevitable Top 10. And beyond…

 
  
 
 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode title almost sounds like this show’s matriarchal manifesto, as well as an allusion to a classic Coen Brothers film: “No Country for Old Women.” And it’s appropriate, too, since tonight’s comedy is about Roseanne and her sister Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) arguing about what to do when their mother (Estelle Parsons) is ejected from her nursing home.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

This NPR and Frontline co-production looks at the federal government’s response to Hurricane Maria after it devastated Puerto Rico last September. The odd companies hired to restore power, the intermittent and largely ineffectual initial response, and more are all recounted and questioned, as the island still faces, so many months later, what Frontline calls the worst power blackout in U.S, history. For a full review, see Alex Strachan's TV That Matters. Check local listings.
 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

This series, already so impressive, this season has quantum leapt over itself, becoming a TV series that pulls you in, holds you tight, and never lets go. Two weeks ago, it was David’s descent into a surrealistic rabbit hole. Last week, it was a mesmerizing trip through, and through and through again, the maze that is Syd’s mind. And tonight, most of the hour is devoted to Aubrey Plaza as Lenny, who has identity problems and psychedelic visions of her own, as she seems to return from her psychic prison. But has she returned? And is she… she? A couple of classic and very appropriate rock tunes are included in tonight’s installment, but they could have found room for at least one more: The Who’s “Behind Blue Eyes.” I’m just saying…

 
  
 
 

National Geographic, 10:00 p.m. ET

There are big doings for both the old and young Picassos in tonight’s Chapter 3 of the Genius: Picasso series. The elder Picasso (Antonio Banderas) meets his later-in-life muse Francoise Gilot (Clemence Posey) – and the younger Picasso (Alex Rich), in an earlier timeline, embarks upon his Blue Period.
