BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: The entirety of Season 4 is dropped by Netflix today. Make room for a few new faces, and expect some of the old ones to fade away.

 
  
 
 

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

Today’s the day Amazon rolls out some of its new pilots for consideration by viewers, whose votes and interest can help determine whether or not the shows go on to regular series status. In addition to a new raft of children’s shows, the new pilots include two shows aimed at more mature audiences: The Last Tycoon and The Interestings, starring Lauren Ambrose (pictured).

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 8:00 p.m. ET

No, these aren’t “art films” in the old manner of semi-nude Swedish imports, like I Am Curious (Yellow). Instead, tonight’s Showtime double feature is a show all about art. Big Eyes, at 8 p.m. ET, stars Amy Adams (pictured) in a 2014 biography of Margaret Keane, the actual artist of the paintings credited to her husband. Then, at 10 p.m. ET, Helen Mirren stars in 2015’s Woman in Gold, about a woman battling to reclaim artwork seized years ago by the Nazis.

 
  
 
 

ESPN, 9:00 p.m. ET

Part 4. This ESPN nonfiction miniseries took the night off last evening, rather than conflict with Game 6 of the NBA Finals. But tonight it’s back, and this particular episode is all about the O.J. murder trial – which FX already has dramatized this year, quite impressively. But now, in this recap, it’s the real deal, and people like prosecutor Marcia Clark are interviewed to offer their valuable perspectives.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

With a news week such as this one, it doesn’t even matter who the scheduled guests are. What matters is Bill Maher’s take on current events, and what’s certain to be his strongly articulated outrage.
