BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Hulu, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: In this new six-part weekly series based on the mystery novels of Giles Blunt, stars Billy Campbell (The Killing, Once and Again) as John Cardinal, a police detective working in the very cold northern landscape of Ontario’s Algonquin Bay. This Canadian series opens with a central mystery – a missing indigenous teen girl – but also spends time establishing Cardinal’s virtues, and vices. His personality is as chilly as the snowpack around him, and that environment is so frosty, it makes Fargo look like Miami Vice. Episodes are shown weekly on Hulu, beginning with tonight’s premiere.

 
  
 
 

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: Season 3 of The Ranch, Ashton Kutcher’s Netflix sitcom, premieres today. He stars as Colt, a former semi-pro football player who grudgingly agrees to run the family ranch. If you’ve never seen, or heard of, this particular Kutcher program, that’s sort of my point. Yet here it is.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: In England, this will be the last season for this beloved series as occupied by its familiar and charming hosts (except for Paul Hollywood, all the hosts are going elsewhere when British Baking Show shifts to a new British network). In the U.S., we still haven’t seen some of the earlier seasons, so we have more episodes with Mary Berry and company that will be unearthed and imported. But beginning tonight, this is the last lap for these deliciously passionate baking judges. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:01 p.m. ET

Tonight and tomorrow, there are two major documentaries on Watergate – tomorrow’s MSNBC special on All the President’s Men, and tonight’s two-hour ABC special on the scandal, and the hearings, from Richard Nixon and his cronies in the Seventies. Why is this famous political crisis about bungled White House cover-ups and presidential abuse of power worth watching in 2017? And why, oh why, do I ask so many rhetorical questions?

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

This week’s scheduled guests include Eddie Izzard, a very smart comedian with a singularly global viewpoint. His take on this week’s events, and in particular on America’s political situation and gun-violence history, ought to be fascinating. Just not, necessarily, very funny.

Birçok bahis sitesi kullandim, ancak bu en yaniltici olanin tacini aliyor. 'Ücretsiz bonus'? Daha çok sahte bir yem gibi. Igrenç taktikler.

Ne saka ama. Sizi gösterisli bonus vaatleriyle cezbediyorlar, sonra da üzerinize imkansiz kurallardan olusan bir duvar örüyorlar. Burada zamaninizi bosa harcamayin.
