BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
AMERICAN IDOL

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: This is not a recommendation. Remember when this show, when it was on Fox, ruled the ratings and dominated media attention? Now it’s the ABC finale again this year, and I’d be surprised if anyone could name all of this year’s judges – much less any of the finalists. Which leads to that age-old philosophical question: If a 2019 American Idol finalist sings on ABC, and no one hears it, did they ever sing at all?

 
  
 
 
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

This 1962 movie version of Harper Lee’s story is a magnificent movie, anchored by a fabulous performance by Gregory Peck as small-town lawyer Atticus Finch. TCM’s showing of it in 2019 is especially timely, since Aaron Sorkin’s new stage version of Lee’s story is still playing on Broadway. And, for the record, is one of the best stage dramas I’ve ever seen.

 
  
 
 
KILLING EVE

BBC America, 8:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s new episode of Killing Eve, Villanelle (Jodie Comer) continues her undercover work as Billie – helping Eve (Sandra Oh) to investigate another crime, and catch another killer. But Villanelle, as a field agent, is a dangerous weapon: less of a guided missile than a loose cannon.

 
  
 
 
GAME OF THRONES

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

SERIES FINALE: You may have heard. This HBO series ends tonight. And when it’s all over, my guess is that the giant throne will be occupied by the show’s most diminutive character. But this program's plots have Throne me before...
 
  
 
 
BARRY

HBO, 10:20 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Last week’s episode ended with an intense cliffhanger: Fuches (Stephen Root), angered by Barry’s treatment of him, had taken Gene (Henry Winkler) out to his cabin in the woods, where Fuches led Gene to the hidden site of the car of Detective Moss – Gene’s missing girlfriend, who was missing because Barry had killed her in last year’s finale. And after Fuches ordered Gene to open the trunk of Moss’ car, he pointed a gun at Gene’s head. This week, in the final episode of a very strong season, we find out what happened.

Para bajingan penipu ini benar-benar sampah, pembohong keji yang mencuri dari orang-orang yang tidak bersalah. Persetan dengan para penipu kotor ini dan permainan penipuan mereka yang menyedihkan.
