BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

“Treehouse of Horror XXVIII.” I remember watching, and reviewing, the very first “Treehouse of Horror,” back in 1990. Tonight we have edition number 28 – or, in Simpsons parlance, XXVIII – and these anything-goes Halloween treats haven’t lost a step, or a trick. Tonight’s trilogy of tales takes aim, at long last, at The Exorcist, with baby Maggie being possessed. Other stories have Lisa finding an alternate world inspired by the movie version of Coraline, and Homer discovering a new favorite food: himself. One sample Homer delicacy: Pastra-Me. Well done, once again, Matt Groening, James L. Brooks and company! For a full review, see Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes.

THE WALKING DEAD

AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: It’s the start of Season 8 for this long-running, immensely popular dystopian horror series. And this year, Rick has amassed enough allies from neighboring communities to make his war against Negan more of a fair fight. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

THE DEUCE

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode is called “Au Reservoir” – a clever title for an episode which has the police of New York City trying to clean up the streets and sweep away the prostitution around Times Square. Well, not sweep it away, so much as sweep it under the rug. And the rug, in this case, is a metaphor for indoor “massage parlors.”

RAY DONOVAN

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

Ray is used to getting his clients out of jail, and his colleagues, and even his brothers and (sometimes) his father. But in tonight’s episode, the person Ray is striving to free from incarceration is his own daughter, Bridget.

CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

This has been a great season for Curb, once again – how about Salman Rushdie appearing as himself, last week, to give Larry tips on the unexpected babe magnet appeal of “fatwa sex”? But tonight’s episode promises something even more delicious: Bryan Cranston, guest starring as Larry’s therapist, and dueling with him verbally in a counseling session. Cranston, of course, has worked with David before – on Seinfeld, where Cranston memorably played a dentist.

GOOD BEHAVIOR

TNT, 10:00 p.m. ET

In this second episode of this shows second season, Letty (Michelle Dockery) resigns herself to returning to her life of crime, and not only persuades her man to go along, but also to allow her to take control. After all, he may be a hit man – but she’s a con woman.

Para penipu ini benar-benar bajingan, berbohong kepada orang-orang dan mencuri uang seperti penipu kotor yang sebenarnya.
