BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

The judges have nothing to do with tonight’s elimination, which is decided purely by national vote tally. Viewers, therefore, might, like the judge, be more impressed than I was by, say, Miley Cyrus “mini-me” Darby Walker singing “You Don’t Own Me,” spending more time on her makeup and bell-bottom outfit than her emotional honesty, and Aaron Gibson singing “Hurt” with more emotional honesty than vocal prowess. Those song choices, and performances, should make them vulnerable tonight, and at risk of elimination as The Voice narrows the field down to the Top 10.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Part 2 of 2. This new four-hour documentary series from Henry Louis Gates, Jr. concludes tonight, looking at the evolution of “black America” in the nearly 50 years since the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Gates and company should plan on a sequel, because the story of American race, and racism, isn’t quite over yet. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

TNT, 9:00 p.m. ET

This is the third episode of this all-over-the-map series, which has taken on the flavor of an It Takes a Thief-style caper series (like Robert Wagner in that classic 1960s spy series, Michelle Dockery (last seen as Lady Mary from Downton Abbey) plays a renegade thief forced into service by someone threatening them with a return to prison if they don’t steal and con for them. So far, the appeal of this series is in watching Dockery play such a polar opposite role from her period performance on Downton. But so far, her role breaks down to 20 percent accent, 30 percent attitude, and 50 percent wardrobe. And now, she and her handler are on the run, and on the road, and there are two dead bodies in the trunk…

 
  
 
 

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

Part 7. Well, I’m glad there’s a second week of this documentary series, because tonight’s episode is devoted to a very intriguing subject: the evolution of videos and the birth of MTV. For a full TV review, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower. Check local listings.
 
  
 
 

TBS, 11:00 p.m. ET

Parts 3 and 4. Alia Shawkat from Arrested Development continues as the star of this new TBS series, which is unspooled in late night on TBS, two episodes each evening, all this week. She’s still in search of her missing friend Chantal, and has brought several people along on her quest to locate her. So far, there’s not much meat to this comedy series, and not even much comedy. But it clearly has a direction, so for now, I’m willing to follow along. For a full review, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower.
