BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

CBS, 7:00 p.m. ET

Even after such a hard news week, 60 Minutes makes room for some lighter fare — but almost always, it carries its own weight. Tonight, Anderson Cooper profiles and interviews Adele, who explains just what she didn’t do, and won’t do, during her ascent to musical stardom.

THE CRIMSON PETAL AND THE WHITE

Encore, 8:00 p.m. ET

The fabulous Encore miniseries, shown over two nights earlier this week, tonight is presented in its entirety, in a handy four-hour viewing (and recording) block. If you missed it before, don’t miss it again. Romala Garai, Chris O’Dowd, Gillian Anderson star in this story of a prostitute in 1874 London. For a full review, see my Bianculli’s Blog.

MASTERPIECE MYSTERY!: “WALLANDER III”

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s new episode, The Dogs of Riga, has Wallander (Kenneth Branagh) traveling to the Latvian capital, as he investigates the case of two dead Latvians whose charred bodies were carried by the current into Sweden.

BORDWALK EMPIRE

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: Time jumps ahead to 1923, as Nucky (Steve Buscemi) rings in the new year, but with at least as much apprehension as celebration. New cast members include Bobby Cannavale (pictured), playing a hot-tempered thug named Gyp Rosetti. For a full review, see Eric Gould’s Cold Light Reader.

WEEDS

Showtime, 10:00 p.m. ET

SERIES FINALE: I agree with those critics who suggest that this series has gone on for a few seasons too long — but for providing a weekly showcase for the sparkling, estimable talents of Mary-Louise Parker (as well as the already transplanted and less adeptly used Justin Kirk, on NBC’s Animal Practice), I’ll keep watching to the end. Which is tonight, in an expanded one-hour finale that returns Parker’s Nancy to the suburbs from which she came.

Para penipu kelas rendah melakukan apa yang paling mereka kuasai—berbohong, menipu, dan menghilang dengan uang orang lain.
