BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

MINISERIES PREMIERE: This new miniseries is from Errol Morris, who blew up the standard notion of the documentary form with his brilliant The Thin Blue Line almost 30 years ago, is still at it, and still going strong. Like The Thin Blue Line, this new production, Wormwood, is richly photographed and impeccably researched. It’s mostly a documentary, with lots of archival footage and freshly conducted interviews, but it also features recreations and dramatic interpretations, starring Peter Sarsgaard as a scientist named Frank Olson and Molly Parker as his wife. In 1953, the real Frank Olson, a bacteriologist for the U.S. Army, died after a fall from a high floor of a hotel. Initially described as either an accident or a suicide, the event is probed by Morris, thanks to interviews with one of Olson’s sons and others, that begin to unpeel some amazing layers of additional information. These include the use of LSD by the CIA, and covert operations employing biological weapons, and so much more. Viewers who have feasted on TV investigations of true-life events, such as The Jinx: The Life and Death of Robert Durst, will devour this just as eagerly, and satisfyingly. And the title comes from Hamlet, for reasons that will be revealed, like everything else in this Morris series, quite deliberately.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:01 p.m. ET

A few things have become apparent as this season of S.H.I.E.L.D. continues to develop. One is that Daisy (Chloe Bennet), in this future time line, is accused of being responsible for destroying the Earth with her literally earthshaking mutant powers as Quake. Another is that the surviving ruling class, in this same future time line, busies itself by trading gladiators in a “fight club”-type circuit. And tonight, stepping into that ring with her powers ready to be unleashed, is Daisy herself.
 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:01 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: This is the Season 2 finale for this series. And if it’s anything like the Season 1 finale, it’ll reveal a string of shocks and twists, and point to yet another new direction for Season 3. And there will be a Season 3 – Fox executives just renewed the show earlier this week for 2018. Perhaps the Devil made them do it…

Bu web sitesi tam bir felaket. Sanki 2005'te tasarlanmis ve hiç güncellenmemis gibi. Sayfalarin yüklenmesi sonsuza kadar sürüyor, baglantilarin yarisi bozuk ve düzen hiç mantikli degil. Bir seyler yapmaya çalisarak bir saatten fazla zaman harcadim ve sonra hayal kirikligiyla pes ettim. Dürüst olmak gerekirse, bu bir saka.
