BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
THE FOURTH ESTATE

Showtime, 7:30 p.m. ET

DOCUMENTARY SERIES PREMIERE: This new documentary series spends a year inside the newsroom, and following some of the reporters, at The New York Times. Give it credit, from the start, at least, for the moment it decides to start: with the day Donald Trump is elected President. If you’ve been watching MSNBC or CNN this past year, you’ve already seen a lot of the Times reporters shadowed in this new documentary series, including political reporter Maggie Haberman (pictured). If you’ve been watching Fox News, not so much…

 
  
 
 
2018 NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

SPECIAL: This live telecast, an annual PBS and Washington, D.C. tradition, honors the men and women in service to our country, with a combination of salutes, stories, and musical interludes. Scheduled performers and presenters this year include Gary Sinise, Joe Mantegna, Megan Hilty and Allison Janney. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 
KILLING EVE

BBC America, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: This has been one of the big breakout series of the season, with both Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, as British intelligence agent Eve and international assassin Villanelle, propelling every scene forward with wit and energy. On this last show of the season, Villanelle knows that there’s no one around her, and especially working above her, she can trust – and Eve is fast discovering the same thing. But at least, for now, in this last exciting show of the year, they have each other. And don’t worry. These ladies, and this show, will be back…

 
  
 
 
2018 NBA CONFERENCE FINALS

ESPN, 8:30 p.m. ET

Last night, in Game 6 of the West series, the Golden State Warriors bounced back from a major first-quarter deficit to rally, win the game, and force a deciding Game 7. In the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers also pulled off a Game 6 win against the Boston Celtics, setting the stage for tonight’s do-or-die Game 7. It’s the first time since 1979 that both conference championships have gone to seven games, so there’s plenty of excitement to go around. (Game 7 in the West will be played tomorrow night, so stay tuned. This year’s NBC Finals begin Thursday, on ABC.

 
  
 
 
1968: THE YEAR THAT CHANGED AMERICA

CNN, 9:00 p.m. ET

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: As individual years go, 1968 indeed was one of the most tumultuous in modern history, so allow CNN, and this new documentary, to take time and explain why. Fair warning: Several very good people die before the year is out.

 
  
 
 
WESTWORLD

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s new episode, “Phase Space,” the story lines – the ones written by the programmers of the Westworld park, that is – start to be rewritten, or improvised in different directions. And when one of the programmers is himself a programmed creation, and sets out to investigate, is he improvising, or just following his pre-selected path?

 
  
 
 
BILLIONS

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

The chess game has been reset, and Chuck, Axe and Wendy all are making aggressive moves to reassert their authority. The odds of one of them stepping over the line in tonight’s episode, especially Axe, are… significant.
