BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Acorn TV, 3:00 a.m. ET

MINISERIES PREMIERE: When this eight-part drama series premiered in the U.K., a reviewer for The Guardian called it “Big Little Lies relocated to rural Wales.” Overseas, two versions of the drama were filmed twice simultaneously: one with the cast speaking Welsh, the other with them speaking English. (The same idyllic and charming Welsh setting, however, figures in both.) Eve Myles, familiar from both Broadchurch and Torchwood, plays Faith Howells, a wife and mother whose husband and business partner, Evan (Bradley Freegard), drives away one morning – and vanishes. He leaves behind a mystery that keeps growing: not only where did he go and what happened to him, but, as Faith begins to look for clues and finds them, who, exactly, was he? Watch it for acting, and the mystery – and get the scenery of Wales as a big bonus. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

American Idol already has reached this milestone this season, but tonight on The Voice, the Top 10 – always an evocative milestone in a competition series – perform for the right to remain.

 
  
 
 

AMC, 10:05 p.m. ET

Episode 2 of James Cameron’s very personal look at science fiction is devoted to the topic of “Space.” And once again, the best elements are not always the clips from TV shows and movies, which don’t always seem weighed and selected with the proper historical perspective. Instead, the most fascination bits are when Cameron sits and talks, one on one, with some of his fellow filmmakers and genre visionaries. Steven Spielberg was great last week, for example, and tonight the conversationalists include, among others, Star Wars creator George Lucas.
