BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES FINALE: The last batch of episodes for the final season of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt shows up today, wrapping up the series on an optimistic note – and on lots of notes, period, as music takes a playfully prominent role in many of these final stories. Watch them in order, but pay attention, in particular, to the “Sliding Van Doors” episode, in which Kimmy’s reality follows an alternate, and very, very different time line, allowing all the regular players (Carol Kane especially) to play with wildly unusual variations on their characters. And, of course, the finale itself, which embraces its inner giddy and goes out with hugs and smiles all around – a complete shift from the way it began.

 
  
 
 

Cinemax, 7:15 p.m. ET

We waited many, many decades for the original Blade Runner movie, the influential dystopian sci-fi drama starring Harrison Ford and based on a story by Philip K. Dick. And when Blade Runner 2049 finally arrived in 2017, starring Ryan Gosling and featuring Ford in a crucial supporting role, it wasn’t worth the wait. But its technical effects are quite good, and so are some of the other supporting cast members, including Robin Wright and Edward James Olmos. But overall, as sequels go, this is the sci-fi equivalent of The Godfather: Part III. It’s more interesting as more time passes, but it’s embarrassingly inferior to its predecessors.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

The most newsworthy element of this week’s show, and the biggest “get,” arrives right at the top, when Maher welcomes his old friend, and political polar opposite, Ann Coulter. It’s been said that her diatribe, scolding President Donald Trump for caving on his border wall promise, is the primary reason we’re now in the second month of a government shutdown. And not only has it been said, but Maher is likely to open by saying it tonight. However Coulter answers, this is guaranteed to be interesting… and, afterwards, all over the cable news shows, from Fox News to MSNBC.

If you've been tackling all of your academic assignments on your own, know that you may always ask for help by saying "take my online exam for me". If you're undergoing pressure for a long time because of difficult work or tight deadlines, don't let it bother you. You can ask experienced professionals for help.They will complete the difficult assignments for you.
