BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Acorn TV, 3:00 a.m. ET

MINISERIES PREMIERE: This new series, imported and streamed beginning today on Acorn TV, features Martin Clunes, the British star of the long-time Doc Martin series, who embarks on a three-part documentary series, exploring some of the islands surrounding Australia. He visits 16 of them over this three-part series, having close encounters with such exotic animals as a devil on Tasmania’s Maria Island, a penguin on Phillip Island, lots of joeys (baby kangaroos, pictured) everywhere, and even one of those infamous dingoes on Restoration Island. And Australia is ringed by some 8,000 islands in all, so at the rate he’s traveling, Clunes could continue this series for another 500 years. I did the math.
 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

I’m really enjoying this season of the voice – and last week, when judge Alicia Keys sang to a female contestant, Lilli Passero, serenading her in hopes of persuading Lilli to join her team, The Voice presented its latest emotional surprise and high point. The ploy worked, by the way. And in tonight’s episode, Blake Shelton, the judge with the most successful record on The Voice, is supposed to pull out all the stops in a win-that-contestant trick of his own.
 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s hour of 24: Legacy brings back, for the first time in this series, a very familiar face from the glory days of the original 24 series: Tony Almeida, played by Carlos Bernard. He’s called in, from what has become a very solitary existence, to assist in a particularly sensitive and tricky interrogation – one of Tony’s many established specialties.

 
  
 
 

A&E, 10:00 p.m. ET

This show is getting so good as it heads towards its finale, with each week’s show delivered a long-simmering new twist. Tonight, the long-repressed Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) gets more intimate with an unhappily married young blonde named Madeleine (played by Isabelle McNally, pictured), who, last week, confessed her attraction to Norman. Madeleine dresses and looks a lot like Norman’s mother Norma (Vera Farmiga), who, though dead, is still very much a presence in the Bates household – and tonight, the mother observes her son on his date with her lookalike. The name Madeleine, of course, is the same name used by the character played by Kim Novak in the Alfred Hitchcock film Vertigo, the plot of which was a man’s obsessive attempt to revive the memory of a dead loved one by having a lookalike dress and act like her.

 
  
 
 

AMC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tonight, HUMANS presents a double-header, as the conflicts between humans and synths become more agitated – and, even when argued in seemingly civilized settings, have very dangerous implications and repercussions, for all of mankind. And, at the same time, all of synthkind.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

Documentary filmmaker Evgeny Afineevsky already has trained his attention, and his cameras, on one third-rail global hot spot, with his Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom. Now he focuses on another such spot, where civil uprisings and brutal regimes clash in a battle for, or against, basic freedoms. Afineevsky takes care to offer a wide perspective, explaining the origins and tensions of the conflicts he covers – but then zooms in tightly to make you learn, and care, one person at a time.

A Secrets Tides Punta Cana Airport Transfer allows travelers to begin their vacation with comfort, convenience, and confidence. After arriving at Punta Cana International Airport, the last thing most visitors want is to spend time searching for transportation or waiting in long lines. Planning airport transportation before departure helps make the arrival process much easier and allows guests to continue directly to the resort.

Secrets Tides Punta Cana is situated in the beautiful Uvero Alto region, approximately 27 miles (44 kilometers) from Punta Cana International Airport. Depending on traffic, the drive usually takes around 45 to 55 minutes. Choosing a Secrets Tides Punta Cana Airport Transfer provides a direct route to the resort, avoiding unnecessary stops that are common with shared transportation.
