BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Acorn TV, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This 2017 series is another European import from Acorn TV, which lately has seen its territory invaded by Netflix. But this is an Irish series from TRE One, and stars Amy Huberman as Tara Rafferty, a woman’s advocate in Ireland who leaves the law firm of her fiancé after learning of his affair with another colleague. She starts her own small firm, specializing in family and divorce law.

 
  
 
 

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

MOVIE PREMIERE: Yes, Benji is back — and he’s still a rescue dog. This 1970s canine cinema character, played (of course) by a new four-legged feature star, is revived for a new era, but with the same feel-good, avoid-the-treacle family film approach. The plot involves a couple  of kids, and a witnessed robbery, but Benji’s real co-star here is the city of New Orleans.

 
  
 
 

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: The awareness of opioid addiction has risen sharply in recent years — not as rapidly as the rise of the documented addiction itself, but it’s a start. And this documentary, which looks at prescribed drugs in general and eventually focuses on Adderall volley in this new, necessary war on drugs. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower

 
  
 
 

Various Networks, 12:00 p.m. ET

How long did it take for a thrilling, buzzer-beating upset at this year’s tournament? The first day, when, during yesterday’s game between No. 6 South seed Miami Hurricanes vs. No. 11 seed Loyola-Chicago Ramblers, the Ramblers sank the game-winning three-pointer with 0.3 seconds left on the clock. March madness, baby! Today, once again, games are available on four networks, beginning at noon ET on CBS, 12:30 p.m. ET on truTV, 1:30 p.m. ET on TNT, and 2 p.m. ET on TBS.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:01 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode is really heavy: It not only has Coulson confronting his own death (and remember, he’s died before, in The Avengers movie), but has the S.H.I.E.L.D. team trying to save the Earth by amassing some strange elemental force called Gravitonium.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s scheduled guests include Bill Bush, journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin, and Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke.

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.
