BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

Last night’s World Series game, like the one the night before, was a duel to remember. It was scoreless through five innings, after which the home-team Los Angeles Dodgers blew it open with four runs in the sixth. Given how tough it’s been for these teams to score, that should have been it – but the Boston Red Sox answered with three runs the next time they got to bat, scored the tying run an inning later, and burst the game open by scoring an additional five runs in the ninth. The Dodgers, in their last at-bat, managed two runs, but the Red Sox won 9-6, and now lead the series three games to one. A win tonight, and the they will take the 2018 World Series. But if the Dodgers rally in front of their home crowd, the series continues, and heads back to Boston.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 8:00 p.m. ET

The suspected bomber was caught this week – but before and after, reactions to the mass mailings, across the political spectrum, overshadowed all other political stories. Almost. And The Circus was there, regardless…

 
  
 
 

AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Rick’s decision to not kill Negan – in effect, honoring the final wish by Rick’s late son – continues to reverberate, and cause divisions among the various camps. And not only that, but the people within the individual camps too, with even Daryl and Maggie determined to go against Rick’s wishes. This is Rick’s penultimate episode, so whatever stand he makes, it’s getting close to his last one.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

The good news: Vincent has a new job offer, and Candy has a distributor for her X-rated “Red Hot” film. The bad news: The same as the good news, because both opportunities come attached with strings. And the mob.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: The last time we saw Ray Donovan, and Ray Donovan, could have been his last. But instead of following his late wife and shuffling off this mortal coil, he’s still around – and available to be hired on a new case involving more intrigue among the rich and powerful. Susan Sarandon returns as Ray’s amoral employer. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower. 

 
  
 
 

HBO, 11:00 p.m. ET

John Oliver likes to dive so deeply into the news, his big story tonight just as likely could involve voter suppression as the mail bombings. Either way, it’s a highlight.

Para penipu kelas rendah melakukan apa yang paling mereka kuasai—berbohong, menipu, dan menghilang dengan uang orang lain.
