BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Amazon Prime Video, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This new Amazon drama series is based on the 2011 movie of the same name, and is produced by the same writer, David Farr. It’s about a teen girl raised in isolation by her former spy father, who grooms her to be able to defend herself – as an expert assassin – and eventually to revenge the death of her mother by sinister enemies. The movie made a star of young Saroirse Ronan, and this new TV version presents a multifaceted actress in Esme Creed-Miles, who, even in the pilot, gets to project both rugged toughness and innocent curiosity – often at the same time, as in a very funny encounter when she meets her first boy outside her isolated hideaway wilderness. But fans of the 2011 AMC series The Killing may be more interested to watch the TV reunion of that show’s co-stars, Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman. In that show, they played detective partners. In this one, he plays Hanna’s super-protective father, and Enos plays one of the killers he’s protecting his daughter from. 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 this zombie comedy, which has Drew Barrymore as a real estate agent adjusting to life after death. Or, rather, as life as a member of the flesh-eating, brain-craving undead. Just as the similarly afflicted characters of the CW’s iZombie have tried their best to adjust and blend in, so does Barrymore’s Sheila, who tries to control her appetite by targeting and consuming only the bad people of her community – a sort of zombie Dexter, with a weird but fixed lethal moral code. And this season, she tries to get her husband, Joel, played by Deadwood and Justified star Timothy Olyphant, to join her. Not as a co-murderer, because he’s been helping his wife on that front all along – but she wants to make him a zombie, too, so they can experience life, and death, from similar perspectives.

 
  
 
 

Various Networks, 7:00 p.m. ET

Once again, CBS and TBS share duties televising today’s Sweet 16 games. And tonight, there are no double-digit seeds left in the East and Midwest brackets, and the competition has advanced pretty much as predicted (though not without some buzzer-beating drama). In the East, for example, the four teams left standing are the top four seeds: No. 1 Duke (pictured) plays No. 4 Virginia Tech at 9:30 p.m. ET on CBS, while No. 2 Michigan State plays No. 3 LSU before that, on the same network, at 7. And in the Midwest, the rankings are nearly as tight: No. 1 North Carolina plays No. 5 Auburn at 7:30 p.m. ET on TBS, followed on the same network by No. 2 Kentucky against No. 3 Houston at 10.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

In 1954, shortly before she decided to give up acting in movies to become a real-life princess in Monaco, Grace Kelly made a handful of movies, including two for Alfred Hitchcock. One was the classic Rear Window – but just before that, she worked for the director in this screen adaptation of the stage play.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s scheduled guests include two whose presence may prove exceptionally newsworthy. One is Preet Bharara, whose take on Attorney General’s four-page summary of the Mueller Report should be illuminating, and fascinating. The other is South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (pictured), who has advanced his hopes as a Democratic presidential contender by sticking the landing on high-profile media appearances such as this one.
