BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

There was a lot of talent of display in last night’s two-hour Top 10 edition of The Voice – including a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll, and even a singing turn by fiery new judge Kelly Clarkson. (I enjoy all the judges, but Alicia Keys always emerges as the one whose heart and empathy hits me as the most genuine. Quietly, gorgeously regal.) In tonight’s one-hour follow-up, two contestants are scheduled to be eliminated, getting us, on schedule, to the Top 8. And Christiana Danielle, who last night sang a slinky, jazzy “Ain’t No Sunshine” (pictured), better make the cut.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

TCM is devoting Tuesdays and Thursdays to movie series – and is starting with the Tarzan series. Six Tarzan movies are shown tonight, including the fan favorite Tarzan and His Mate from 1934 (at 10 p.m. ET). But the first entry, Tarzan, the Ape Man from 1932, is my favorite. Not only was it made only a handful of years after sound came to the movies, but it was filmed pre-Code – which means that when Johnny Weissmuller’s Ape Man is joined in the jungle by Maureen O’Sullivan’s Jane, the scenes between them are allowed to be more tropically steamy than in the sequels. And the vine-swinging is fun, too…

 
  
 
 

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

Evan Williams, who also directed Hunting Boko Haram, compiles years of surreptitiously recorded and saved footage, and adds his own, to explain and explore the Myanmar military’s brutal and prolonged campaign to wipe out the Rohingya Muslims from that country. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

The last two episodes of Legion, giving us extended head trips into the complex minds of Syd and Lenny, respectively, have been so inventive and exciting and unpredictable, I could hardly watch them without leaning fully forward. And tonight, in an episode I haven’t previewed, we accompany David (Dan Stevens) as he’s taken on a tour, and takes us on one, through a series of alternate realities – including one in which he’s long-haired, bearded and homeless (pictured). Which reality is real? On this show, it’s deliciously hard to tell. As Jon Hamm has begun to intone in the narrative intro to each episode, before we see clips from earlier episodes, the phrase he utters isn’t the familiar “Previously, on Legion.” It’s the much more mind-bending “Apparently, on Legion…” Gotta love it.

 
  
 
 

National Geographic, 10:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s episode, the elder Picasso (Antonio Banderas) sets out to introduce his lover Francoise to his other current lover, Dora. “I have no rules,” he announces. And then he finds out if they do…
