BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

BBC America, 8:00 p.m. ET

There’s been a murder a week in this season of Killing Eve, and last week’s murder had Villanelle (Jodie Comer) injecting some sparkle and originality into what she considered a boring assignment: the murder of a philandering husband. So she killed him as requested, but in a sex-display window in Amsterdam, with her victim bound and hung upside down like a side of beef, where she slashed him vertically so his guys spilled out on his own personal killing floor. While Villanelle was dressed in a frilly dress and a pig mask. And the victim’s wife watched from the other side of the glass. Just another day on Killing Eve… and here she comes again, making yet another eye-catching, and tongue-in-cheek, on-the-job fashion statement.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

The mega-battle episode of Game of Thrones last week drew more viewers overall than any episode of the series to date – a record 17.8 million – even though it was so dark, cinematically as well as thematically, that most of it was heard but not seen. This week, we get the aftermath of the victory over the Night King, and the survivors turn their attention to their major remaining foe – Cersei, whose battle scenes, at least, are likely to be fought in daylight.
 
  
 
 

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode is called “Fight Night,” and there are plenty of fights to pick, so to speak, when diving the show’s inspiration. One major fight is between Taylor and her former mentor Axe – a fight that has escalated to include Axe’s confidante, and another of Taylor’s former mentors, Wendy.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:20 p.m. ET

Last week’s episode was wild… as wild as the young woman, perfectly described as “feral,” who was Barry’s agile adversary throughout most of the program. That episode ended with another cliffhanger, this time with Barry offered a ride out of another tight situation. Whatever direction he takes, though, is likely to involve more drama, and another dead body or moving target.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:50 p.m. ET

The results of “Super Tuesday” are about to come in – and even though Selina may have just lost her ex-husband (murdered by the Chinese in a boating explosion, following what may have been interpreted as Selina’s wishes), she may soon gain the edge in the race to the nomination.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 11:25 p.m. ET

Here comes John Oliver, no holds Barred…

Awesome blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Many thanks!

I do accept as true with all the ideas you’ve offered to your post. They’re very convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are very short for starters. May you please extend them a little from next time? Thank you for the post
