BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Hulu, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This new 10-part drama series arrives with two names that instantly raise expectations: Jason Katims and Aaron Paul. Katims was a writer-producer on NBC’s Friday Night Lights and Parenthood, and Paul played Jesse on AMC’s Breaking Bad. But Katims is only an executive producer here, not a creator. Paul plays Eddie Lane, who has a crisis of faith during a religious retreat in Peru, and begins to questions both the teachings and motives of the Meyerist sect – a fictional religious group that has some similarities to Scientology, but is dramatized as something completely other. The leader of the movement is played by Hugh Dancy, last seen on NBC’s Hannibal, and Edie’s wife is played by Michelle Monaghan. Hulu streams the first two episodes today, with others to follow once weekly.  

 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:00 p.m. ET

MIDSEASON PREMIERE: Cookie and Lucious are back, and acting as a team again – and I’m not Lyon. Why? Because they’ve identified a common enemy…

 
  
 
 

TCM, 9:30 p.m. ET

TCM ocasionally shows full-length silent films in prime time, as it did very recently with Buster Beaton’s The General. But this is a rarity for TCM: a silent film from the 21st century. Jean DuJardin stars in this Oscar-winning movie, which was released in 2011.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Another Russian mole, ordered by his bosses to acquire and transfer some deadly materials, crosses path with Elizabeth and Phillip, in ways that might prove hazardous to their health. Another terrific, and tense, new episode.
