BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CW, 8:00 p.m. ET

SERIES FINALE: This series has provided Rose McIver with the chance to portray as many different personalities and alter egos, over the years, as Scott Bakula got to play in Quantum Leap, and have as much fun as Tatiana Maslany playing all those clone sisters in Orphan Black. That all ends tonight – but does it end with her character, Liv, dying? Undying? Remaining a zombie? Being cured? In other words, will she remain a brain-eating zombie, or will she revert to being a human being? Will she die? Die some more? Or will she Liv?
 
 
  
 
 

Cinemax, 9:40 p.m. ET

How is this possible? The Coen Brothers’ cinematic debut, the brilliant and twisted film noir mysteryBlood Simple, arrived in 1984. Which means it is now celebrating its 35thanniversary. That seems unthinkable, somehow, that we’ve had Joel and Ethan Coen, the super-creative siblings behindThe Big Lebowski and O Brother, Where Art Thou? making movies for a third of a century now – but they have. Dan Hedaya, John Getz and M. Emmett Walsh star in this story about jealousy, infidelity and murder. Also starring: Frances McDormand, who a dozen years later would star so brilliantly in the Coen Brothers’ Fargo.
