BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
DEAD TO ME

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini star in this new Netflix series about women of very different temperaments who meet at a grief therapy session. What could be a predictable odd couple bonding comedy is anything but – and series creator Liz Feldman, showing off much more creativity and artistry than in her 2 Broke Girls CBS sitcom, keeps the surprises coming. The actresses are wonderful, the twists and turns excitingly unsettling. You’ll know by the end of the first episode whether this is the show for you. I’m guessing it is. To hear or read my full review for NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, visit the Fresh Air website, and for a full review here on TVWW, read David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
 
  
 
 
EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

MOVIE PREMIERE: In 1986, good-looking young actor Mark Harmon played serial killer Ted Bundy in The Deliberate Stranger, playing off his good looks to embody a much darker personality. A third of a century later, good-looking young actor Zac Efron takes his turn at the Bundy bat, playing the serial killer in a new movie that focuses as much on Bundy’s longtime girlfriend (played by Lily Collins).

 
  
 
 
TUCA & BERTIE

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This new animated series isn’t strictly a spinoff of BoJack Horseman,  but it’s certainly from the same stable. Like that other likably oddball Netflix cartoon series, Tuca & Bertie is created by producer and artist Lisa Hanawalt, and deals with a group of talking, anxious animals. In this case, they’re female, and birds: a chirpy toucan and a more reserved song thrush.

 
  
 
 
REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

The attorney general showed up at the Senate hearing on Wednesday, but skipped the House hearing yesterday. Today, to talk about that and more, Bill Maher is very likely to show up for his own scheduled live appearance tonight.

Marine lubricants are specialized oils and greases formulated to meet the demanding requirements of marine engines and equipment operating in harsh oceanic environments. These lubricants are essential for reducing friction and wear in ship engines, propulsion systems, and auxiliary equipment, ensuring efficient performance and prolonged machinery life. They come in various types, including trunk piston engine oils (TPEO) for medium-speed engines and system oils for crosshead engines. Marine lubricants must possess excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and detergency to withstand extreme pressures, high temperatures, and exposure to saltwater.
