BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Hulu, 12:00 a.m. ET

Today, both Hulu and Hulu Plus unveil a much-awaited drama series import: Bron/Broen, the original inspiration for the American version, FX's The Bridge. In this original version, the bridge in question, instead of being a border crossing between the U.S. and Mexico, separates Denmark and Sweden, with mismatched detectives teaming to solve the same grisly murder case. Sofia Helen plays Saga Noren, the detective on the Swedish side, and Kim Bodnia plays Danish inspector Martin Rhode. Hulu is rolling out two episodes weekly, beginning today, while Hulu Plus makes available all of Season 1.

What a year, and what a treatment from American Experience. The Civil Rights Act. The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show.  The Gulf of Tonkin resolution. And so much more, put into a context that’s more thoughtful than merely a compendium of clips. For a full review, see the TVWW Guest Contributor column by Gary R. Edgerton.
 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:30 p.m. ET

At Sunday’s Golden Globes, Andy Samberg was a surprise winner in the category of best actor, comedy or musical, and his freshman Fox series, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, also won as best sitcom, beating out Modern Family, Girls and other expected favorites. If you haven’t see Brooklyn Nine-Nine yet, this is a very good time to start – and keep your eye on Andre Braugher, who is as good here at comedy as he was at drama in Homicide: Life on the Street.

Kim Jong-Un is the youngest dictator in the world, and aside from his bizarre kinship with Dennis Rodman, not much is known about him, at least by the general public. Well, anyone who tunes in tonight to Frontline will learn a lot more – about Jong-Un, and about North Korea in 2014. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode is called “The Kids Aren’t All Right,” and reunites Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) with one of his most unpredictable acquaintances: Loretta McCready, the young orphan played by Kaitlyn Dever. She was the young character, and actress, at the center of the Justified season which found Raylan in a lengthy, tricky duel of wits with ruthless Mags Bennett, played so brilliantly by Margo Martindale.
