BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Amazon Prime Video, 3:00 a.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: Last season, Billy Bob Thornton won his big case, besting the Goliath of an opponent in this new courtroom series from David E. Kelley. For Season 2, Thornton returns as William McBride, who hasn’t exactly been spoiled, or improved a lot, by his in-court victory. The best news: Still at his side for this new season is his feisty assistant, played so winningly by Nina Arianda (pictured, with Thornton). For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower

 
  
 
 

Various Networks, 8:00 a.m. ET

In today’s three televised contests in the World Cup, we get to watch the bottom half of Group A and all of Group B. From Group A, Fox Sports 1 presents Egypt vs. Uruguay at 8 a.m. ET. After that, on the regular Fox network, are the teams from Group B. The bottom half, Morocco vs. Iran, plays at 11 a.m. ET, and the top half of Group B, Portugal vs. Spain, plays on Fox at 2 p.m. ET.

 
  
 
 

Syfy, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: Three episodes of this show’s fourth and final season are shown tonight, as 12 Monkeys returns to finish up its time-traveling story line. Many series, when they’re starting a new season, jump ahead in time. This series, by contrast, jumps backward, as do its characters: to the 1960s, to WWII, and all the way back to medieval times (pictured).

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

Among Maher’s guests this week are two people with very different styles, and styles of talking: George Will and Billy Eichner.

 
  
 
 

BBC America, 11:00 p.m. ET

Among tonight’s guest is Usain Bolt, widely celebrated as the fastest man alive. For maximum irony, record this episode, then watch it on fast forward.
