BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Public Television, Check local listings

Another timely new edition: This weekend, Bill Moyers’ guests include economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, who discusses President Barack Obama’s choice for Secretary of the Treasury – who wasn’t Krugman. But Krugman says he’s fine with that, saying he can still be called on to give advice, while “what the president needs right now is a hard-nosed negotiator. And rumor is that’s what he’s got.” Moyers & Company airs from Friday to Sunday on local public TV stations; to find it in your local area, check the BillMoyers.com website.

SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS

Cinemax, 7:50 p.m. ET

With Sherlock on PBS, and Elementary on CBS, there’s a big resurgence of interest in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famed detective, one of the most iconic characters in all of literature. And we shouldn’t forget Robert Downey, Jr.’s modernistic take on Sherlock Holmes, presented here in this 2011 sequel, with Jude Law as Watson, Jared Harris from Mad Men as Professor Moriarty, and Rachel McAdams as a very vivacious Irene Adler.

THE IRON LADY

Showtime, 8:00 p.m. ET

Meryl Streep earned Oscar Number Three, and her first in decades, by portraying British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in this 2011 film biography. Its framing device, a mixture of flashbacks and ghostly visitations, is a bit unusual, but Streep’s impersonation is ghostly, too: less acting than channeling. Jim Broadbent co-stars.

FRINGE

Fox, 9:00 p.m. ET

Next Friday, Fox presents two episodes of Fringe back-to-back – the final two episodes of the series. So if the second of those episodes is the series finale, and the first of those episodes is the penultimate Fringe episode, then what’s tonight’s installment called? It mght be called Altered States – because look at what Walter (John Noble) is doing.

BANSHEE

Cinemax, 10:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This new series places killers among the Amish, sort of like Witness did – but also adds the wrinkle that the new small-town sheriff actually is a wily wanted fugitive. Banshee wants to be Justified, but its premise and its characters are equally unbelievable. Not just improbable. Unbelievable. Anthony Starr stars. Give Cinemax credit, though, for trying to mount another original series. For a full review, see Uncle Barky's Bytes.
