BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 3:00 p.m. ET

Hawaii has had a tough time of it this year, what with volcanic eruptions and suturing hurricanes. But the Honolulu Little League has given the chain of islands reason for celebration – and in this global tournament of talented youngsters, has gone all the way. Today on ABC, Hawaii faces South Seoul, the South Korean team, for the 2018 Little League  Championship title. Oh, poi! Can’t wait!

 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

MINISERIES FINALE: Tonight is the night we find out, for certain, the identity of the murderer who has been targeting teen girls in Wind Gap. If Camille (Amy Adams) is right, at least one of the perpetrators, like one of the victims, is very, very close to home. By the way, if you’ve been watching this miniseries with a keen eye towards its creepily shifting visuals, and noticing the words that occasionally appear in odd places – perhaps as mood-reflecting hallucinations from Camille’s point of view – there’s a terrific compilation of them, including the screen shot shown here (in which a cop car’s on-door ID changes briefly from “POLICE” to “BODICE”) in a recent Vulture post by Kathryn VanArendonk.
 
  
 
 

Showtime, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Sacha Baron Cohen’s new series has pranked so many public figures so successfully that there may or may not be a Season 2. Either way, that makes this final installment of Season 1 a swing-for-the-fences episode for Cohen – and, perhaps, the one in which we’ll finally get to see him, in one of his alter egos (pictured), interacting with Sarah Palin, who already has complained about his treatment of her.

 
  
 
 

Starz!, 10:00 p.m. ET

DOCUMENTARY SERIES PREMIERE: Steve James, who made the affecting and insightful documentary Hoop Dreams about a pair of talented high school basketball players, returns to high school for this new nonfiction series. For an entire school year, he immersed himself in the lives of students, parents and teachers at suburban Chicago’s Oak Park and River Forest High School, to observe whether its policy of school integration was as widely effective as expected. The answer? No. Not if you look closely – which he did. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
