BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Sundance, 2:30 p.m. ET

Parts 1 – 6. Here’s another opportunity to catch up with a quality TV miniseries tonight. Sundance is presenting, in one handy and giant gulp, the first six episodes of this gripping, quietly intense miniseries import. And if you’ve yet to watch, I’ll keep its secrets – but sooner or later, I have to talk about how creepy and moody this series is, and why.

MASTERPIECE CLASSIC: "DOWNTON ABBEY"

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

Want to get primed for next month’s Season 4? PBS is making it easy, by starting a repeat run of Season 3 beginning tonight. Check local listings.

BONNIE & CLYDE

A&E, Lifetime, History, 9:00 p.m. ET

PREMIERE: This two-night, four-hour telemovie, the latest Hollywood remake of the Bonnie Parker-Clyde Barrow story, is being papered all over sister cable stations tonight and tomorrow, being simulcast by A&E, History and Lifetime. Ratings will be high, but quality is medium. The leads, Emile Hirsch and Holliday Grainger, generate less heat than William Hurt, as their lawman adversary, and too much of the drama feels like dress-up, make-believe cops-and-robbers. For a full review, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes.

TREME

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

Real estate scams. Restaurant openings. Musical explosions in late-night local jazz clubs. It could be anywhere, any time – but since it’s New Orleans, a few years post-Katrina, the highs, the lows, the politics, the food and the music is all very specific, and very memorable.

HOMELAND

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

Last week’s episode was pivotal, and not just in placing Brody (Damian Lewis) in yet another potential assassination plot. It also injected the series with an intensity that’s been missing of late, except in spurts. And with two episodes left, and with Brody on a seemingly suicide mission in Iran, only Carrie (Claire Danes) can manage an extraction plan – but even that’s far from a sure thing.
