BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

BBC America, 8:00 p.m. ET

It doesn’t happen often on this series, that Villanelle (Jodie Comer) and Eve (Sandra Oh) get to share the same screen and interact with one another – and when they do, it’s always tense, exciting and unpredictable. It happened briefly in last week’s episode – and get ready, because it happens again tonight. And just because Villanelle is sporting pink hair, that doesn’t mean she’s intent on acting sweet or girlish…

 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

This is the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones – so beware of big battles, and unexpected deaths, and, of course, misplaced coffee cups.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

The body blows being landed on Billions these days are staggering ones, and as this season begins to career towards its conclusion, the battles are pitched, nasty, and pointed at very specific targets. Taylor and Axe, in their efforts to destroy one another, have each won rounds in the past few episodes. And tonight, Taylor makes the grudge match as personal as possible, by seeking to do damage, financial and otherwise, to two of the women nearest and dearest to Axe: Wendy and (pictured) Rebecca.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:20 p.m. ET

This week, after a manic pair of life-and-death episodes, Barry gets back to business – the business of pursuing an acting career. And Barry, to his own amazement, gets an audition. And if he’s amazed, his acting coach, played by Henry Winkler, is positively flabbergasted.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:50 p.m. ET

SERIES FINALE: After seven seasons and 17 Emmys, Veep ends its run tonight – with more Emmys to come, no doubt, at the ceremonies later this year. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is this generation’s perfectly pitched female sitcom star, managing to play unlikable characters while always retaining our sympathies. She’s the comedy equivalent of Bryan Cranston’s Walter White – and I’m hoping her Selina Meyer gets just as perfect a sendoff. And as for her on-camera support staff, the whole gaggle of them deserve praise and honors. Tony Hale and Gary Cole and Anna Chlumsky make me laugh the most, but I’m delighted, and surprised, by them all. For my appreciation on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, hosting a show that included interviews with both Louis-Dreyfus and Hale, as well as Veep show runner David Mandel, visit the Fresh Air website.
 
  
 
 

HBO, 11:40 p.m. ET

Last week on Last Week, John Oliver devoted his central segment to the topic of lethal injection – and, once again, managed to deliver laughs while also imparting some sobering and, to me, quite informative facts and perspectives. And also, as a bonus intro to that story, he also introduced me to… that frog. How can I not tune in to Last Week again this week?

Birçok bahis sitesi kullandim, ancak bu en yaniltici olanin tacini aliyor. 'Ücretsiz bonus'? Daha çok sahte bir yem gibi. Igrenç taktikler.

Ne saka ama. Sizi gösterisli bonus vaatleriyle cezbediyorlar, sonra da üzerinize imkansiz kurallardan olusan bir duvar örüyorlar. Burada zamaninizi bosa harcamayin.
