BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: Why shouldn’t biblical characters be able to enjoy new life, and be revived after a brief period of dormancy? Lucifer, the satanic character and his Fox TV series, were canceled after three seasons. But Netflix stepped in and picked up Lucifer for a Season 4, resurrecting the show. And if you can stand one more biblical reference, this new season introduces one of the very first characters from the Old Testament: Eve, played by Inbar Lavi, who joins Lucifer (Tom Ellis) in modern-day Los Angeles. It is, after all, the City of Angels…

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

At the end of last week’s show, there was a surprise incendiary ending: The vampire clan leader was accidentally sunlit to death. Tonight’s show, written by Flight of the Conchords co-star and Shadows co-creator Jemaine Clement, is called “The Trial.” It may be devoted to the consequences of last week’s unexpected conflagration – but at any event, according to FX, promises to be loaded with surprise guest stars, who may or may not be under some of those hoods.

BROCKMIRE

IFC, 10:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s new episode, Gabby finds out she’s pregnant, then finds out her wife is cheating on her. If that sounds like a new spin on an otherwise common plot, try this: In order to console Gabby, his broadcast booth partner, Brockmire puts himself in the unlikely role of sympathizer.

STATE OF THE UNION

Sundance, 10:00 p.m. ET

Part 3. More conversation. More pre-analysis insights, jabs and revelations. And yes – this is one of the best dialogue-heavy series since In Treatment. Rosamund Pike, Chris O’Dowd star – and they’re fascinating to watch. When you’re watching State of the Union, it doesn’t seem like you’re viewing. It feels like you’re eavesdropping.
