BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

I’m not sure when The Voice fatigue will set in, but it hasn’t happened yet – and probably won’t, so long as this particular competition show manages to stay so positive and so hopeful. These days it’s a relief, as much as a pleasure, to watch how the judges react to the competitors and to each other. For example: Last week, one of the opening-round blind audition contestants was a young man named Quizz Swanigan, who managed to swivel two chairs around and have judges Gwen Stefani and Alicia Keys begging, and competing, to have him on their team. Quizz, by the way, is only 13 years old – to this point, the youngest contestant to make it into the competition phase of The Voice.
 
  
 
 

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

The amazing cellist Yo-Yo Ma convened a group of musicians, in the year 2000, to explore what would happen when musicians from different cultures, wielding very different types of instruments, learned to work and play together. In the wake of 9/11, the bridging of differences became an increasingly important focal point – and this documentary, using home movies and performance footage from the time of the inception of The Silk Road Ensemble, charts its growth, its triumphs, and its gloriously unique approach to music.

 
  
 
 

A&E, 10:00 p.m. ET

Bates Motel is a superb example of a TV series that benefits by knowing the duration, as well as the content, of its end game. This season, pre-announced as the show’s last, allows the writers and producers of Bates Motel to work its way up to the contents of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 Psycho film, which inspired this series. But it also allows it to do what the movie didn’t, which is to get inside the mind of Norman Bates. Deeply, deeply inside, where his dead mother, Norma, still lives…

 
  
 
 

AMC, 10:00 p.m. ET

HBO’s Westworld may have gotten most of the attention last season – but AMC’s British import, HUMANS, explored some of the same territory first, with replicants gaining consciousness and seeking independence. And, in many respects, has done it more compellingly. This season, HUMANS has added Matrix co-star Carrie-Anne Moss to the cast, playing a scientist who specializes in replicants. And this week, there are more and more cases of replicants becoming aggressive and unpredictable, with the true cause, as yet, unknown.

Pelayanan paling anjing yang pernah kami alami. Setelah uang masuk, sikap berubah total. Komplain diabaikan, solusi tidak ada, dan tanggung jawab nol besar.

Hei bajingan, pergilah dan tiduri kuda yang kau tunggangi itu, lalu tinggalkan komunitas cinta dan damai yang berfokus pada TV ini.

Hormat saya,
