BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: The newest Netflix series drops today – and the more series that Netflix premieres, the more average its average seems to become. Flaked stars, and is co-created by, Will Arnett, and is a comedy series about a guy named Chip, who lives in Malibu as some sort of self-help guru, while needing lots of emotional help of his own, as a recovering alcoholic and seemingly hopeless romantic. Chip and his friends navigate through their emotional territory with difficulty, especially around a new Malibu arrival, an attractive blonde named London. They navigate around Malibu, however, on either bicycles or skateboards, which may be accurate to that community, but seems more like a case of the title of Arnett’s most recent Netflix series: Arrested Development. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

It’s Merle Oberon month on TCM, and each Friday night is devoted to a mini-festival of her works. It all begins at 8 p.m. ET with The Lodger, a 1944 thriller in which a landlady fears her new tenant may be Jack the Ripper. Oberon doesn’t play the landlady, though – she plays another tenant in the same building, a cabaret singer (pictured). Then, at 10 p.m. ET, comes one of the romantic classics of the ages: 1939’s Wuthering Heights, in which she stars opposite Laurence Olivier.

 
  
 
 

Starz!, 9:00 p.m. ET

William H. Macy directs this 2014 character study, about a grieving father (Billy Crudup) who dives into his late son’s box of lyrics and personal recordings, and is both stunned and inspired by the samples of the talent he left behind.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

Bill Maher doesn’t have any major name guests on tonight’s show – but sometimes, those shows end up sparking the best conversations of all. And if it depends upon the news week, once again, this should be a doozy.
