BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Apple TV+, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: If you remember the original 1985 Steven Spielberg anthology series, you might have the proper mixture of anticipation and skepticism regarding this new reboot. Yes, it has the same musical theme (by John Williams) and a similar opening title sequence, which worked so well the first time. But except for a few standout episodes, the original NBC Amazing Stories seldom featured stories that were… amazing. Apple TV+ provided only one episode for preview, and it’s okay… but you can’t judge an anthology series on one episode, any more than you can judge an eight-course meal on the appetizer. Episodes will roll out weekly, so stay tuned. Or streamed. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

HILLARY

Hulu, 3:00 a.m. ET

It's mere coincidence, but the day after Elizabeth Warren withdraws from the Democratic presidential primary race, Hulu premieres a new four-part documentary about the woman who ran for president in 2016, and won the popular vote: Hillary Rodham Clinton. The first episode spends much of its time on the Rodham part, including her newsmaking commencement address at Wellesley while a student there (pictured), and her time as a young legal aide on the Watergate staff. But it hops around in time, beginning with a recent interview, and including backstage footage of her visit for a guest spot on Saturday Night Live. For full reviews, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower, and Mike Hughes' Open Mike.

LINCOLN RHYME: HUNT FOR THE BONE COLLECTOR

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Next week, NBC doubles up on Lincoln Rhyme, presenting the season’s final two episodes in a special two-parter. So tonight’s episode, I guess, can be considered the show’s next-to-penultimate installment…

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

Gee, any interesting breaking news for Bill Maher to address this week? Other than Joe Biden’s rise, so many other candidates’ withdrawals, and the spread of the current pandemic, it’s been a fairly slow week…

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.
