BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

SERIES RETURN: Yet another series that has returned from the dead, this Poppy Montgomery crime series was canceled by CBS, then eventually given a reprieve, and orders for new episodes, once its global popularity was factored in and costs were amortized and adjusted. So here comes the start of Season 2, with Poppy’s I-remember-everything heroine transferred to a new investigative unit. Fans of this series can pick up where they left off – if they remember back that far.

 
  
 
 

AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET

This is the show’s penultimate installment of the season. And sure enough, we’re at the point where both cops realize they’ve made terrible mistakes in judgment, and where we’re still supposed to be confused about the identity of the actual killer. That’s true, at least, regarding Ray Seward (Peter Sarsgaard), who’s in his last day of life on death row, still proclaiming his innocence, while Linden (Mireille Enos) just became less certain of it.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

Last week, while Dexter (Michael C. Hall) was driving, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) grabbed the wheel and ran them both into the bay, where they almost drowned, but didn’t. Now they’re both back on the job, but that watery detour may have made their sibling relationship even more complicated. This is the first episode of the season I haven’t previewed in advance, so I don’t know what happens next. But I’m hoping for more Dr. Vogel, less Debra. I’m just saying.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

This episode hands Jeff Daniels a clever extended scene to play as Will McAvoy, as he tries to intervene personally to stave off the latest crisis. But there’s yet another crisis brewing, one that won’t be so easy to handle.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 10:00 p.m. ET

Liev Schreiber continues to juggle his work life (as a fixer for Hollywood bigwigs, most of them jerks) and home life (especially his ex-con father, played by Jon Voight, an absolute jerk), in ways suggesting he’s much better at the former than the latter. At least for now.
