BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
PEACOCK LAUNCHES

Peacock, 3:00 a.m. ET

STREAMING SERVICE LAUNCH: Yes, here comes another one. The deal about Peacock – the financial deal, that is – is that it arrives today in three different tiers. One of them is free, and it offers thousands of hours of old TV and movies, as well as a few new ones. You can download the Peacock app, or get access through the new Peacock website. Then there’s the first pay tier, which offers even more TV and movies – but at a $5 monthly fee. And if you double that fee, paying $10 a month for a Peacock subscription, you get all that without any intrusive advertising. (Which means without any advertising whatsoever.) The inventory on Peacock includes Frasier and Friday Night Lights, two absolutely excellent TV shows – and while the new offerings are a mixed bag (Brave New World is more entertaining for its live-action Jetsons sets and costumes than for its updated approach to the 1932 Aldous Huxley novel), there are two new shows worth watching. They’re detailed below. For more information on Peacock, see Mike Hughes' Open Mike. And for a full review of Brave New World, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower. 
 
  
 
 
THE CAPTURE

Peacock, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This new miniseries is the brightest feather in Peacock’s plumage: A drama about spycraft and modern technology that takes the capabilities of “deep fake” videos and applies them to a hypothetical yet entirely credible story about international espionage and high-stakes politics. Holliday Grainger stars as a British intelligence agency looking into the case of a British soldier (played by Callum Turner), recently exonerated of war crimes and freed from prison, placed back in custody and suspected of murder. accused in a suspected murder case. Eventually, the narrative of The Capture proves unsettlingly unreliable, and asks all the right questions: When you can no longer believe your eyes when looking at video footage, what does that do to the courts, and to the world? I haven’t stopped thinking about this drama since I previewed it. You won’t, either. Familiar supporting players, though they arrive later in the miniseries, include Ron Perlman and Famke Janssen. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower. 
 
  
 
 
INTELLIGENCE

Peacock, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Nick Mohammed, who created this comedy series, co-stars as a British intelligence gatherer whom is about the only spy in his organization who’s enthused by the arrival of an American counterpart as a sort of cultural information exchange program. David Schwimmer from Friends plays the new arrival as a very ugly American – as pompous, acerbic and misguidedly self-satisfied as a better-dressed Basil Fawlty – and plays against the British sensibility almost as well as another Friends alumnus, Matt Le Blanc, did in the brilliant Showtime sitcom Episodes. Think of this as a cross between The Office and Get Smart, lower your expectations a bit, then enjoy… Sylvestra Le Touzel, as the head of the British spy agency, is particularly wry and dry.
 
  
 
 
MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

ABC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Time is not on the side of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, whose time-traveling ship is malfunctioning, and sending them towards imminent doom. The best hope of saving the team, and the world, and universe this time around? Yo-Yo (Natalia Cordova-Buckley) and May (Ming-Na Wen) – which sounds like a 1970s singing duo with a TV variety show. Hey, hey, hey, it’s Yo-Yo and May!
