BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Acorn TV, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This four-episode limited series – or mini-miniseries, or whatever we should call it these days – is a British import about very unattractive characters (behaviorally, not physically) in a very attractive setting. The setting is Cornwall, where Iain Glen (Jorah Mormont in Game of Thrones) plays a successful chef with two grown kids, an ex-wife whose recipes built his reputation, and a younger second wife who suspects him of cheating on her. And he is – with his ex. Dawn French, who’s made me laugh ever since she teamed with Jennifer Saunders on the sketch comedy series French and Saunders in the late Eighties, is very good, and very believable, as the ex-wife – dramatic roles suit her, it turns out – but her part is hardly sympathetic. In fact, the only character worth rooting for in the entire story is the second wife, played by Emilia Fox – who, when she gets angry at her husband, takes it out on his fancy convertible by smashing its windows with a bat, Lemonade-style. Except, since this is England, it’s a cricket bat. And what makes Delicious worth watching, despite its abrasive central characters, is a shocking plot twist that arrives early, and twists everything, in a very unusual and compelling way. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower

 
  
 
 

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: It’s Season 3 for Bloodline – and in this episode, the normally reliable character, played by Kyle Chandler, goes off the rails. Or, at least, goes off the road, after a car accident that can best be described as unusual. It involves an alligator…

 
  
 
 

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

MOVIE PREMIERE: Based on the Rolling Stone article and subsequent book by the late Michael Hastings, this new Netflix movie stars Brad Pitt as Gen. Glen McMahon, a military leader commanding troops in Afghanistan. Clearly based on then-active Gen. Stanley McChrystal, this is a war movie for a war that, at this point, has no end, and no clear winners. Which, arguably, is the moral of War Machine in the first place.
 
  
 
 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

Last week, American Masters presented a new profile of famous chef James Beard, one that explained his importance to the pantheon of international culinary masters. Today, it tries to do the same with a slightly lesser, but still shining, star in that same firmament: Jacques Pepin. Check local listings.

Birçok bahis sitesi kullandim, ancak bu en yaniltici olanin tacini aliyor. 'Ücretsiz bonus'? Daha çok sahte bir yem gibi. Igrenç taktikler.

Ayni vaatlerle onlarca site var, ama bu site özellikle kötü. Hem yavas hem de güven vermiyor.

Ne saka ama. Sizi gösterisli bonus vaatleriyle cezbediyorlar, sonra da üzerinize imkansiz kurallardan olusan bir duvar örüyorlar. Burada zamaninizi bosa harcamayin.

Sözde deneme bonusu veriyorlar, ama siteye girince saçma sapan kurallarla dolu. Insanla dalga geçiyorlar resmen.
