If you watched last week’s opening episode of this Sundance miniseries, you know the central mystery, and drama, behind this captivating tale of a married couple whose baby disappears while they’re on vacation in Australia. If you didn’t see last week’s episode yet, catch up on Sundance Now streaming or On Demand – but get caught up, because Jenna Coleman, in the leading role, is not to be missed. And tonight, she and the show get even more intense and exceptional.

ARSENIO HALL: SMART & CLASSY By David Bianculli

SPECIAL PREMIERE: It was back in 1992, when The Arsenio Hall Show was midway through its run as a syndicated talk show catering to a normally underserved urban, largely African-American audience, that presidential hopeful Bill Clinton showed up to slip on some shades, play some saxophone, and ultimately win the presidency. That was – take a deep breath – 27 years ago – and Hall is back, resurfacing with this new, intimate, reassuringly casual comedy standup special. H

2019 WORLD SERIES By David Bianculli

The Washington Nationals took the first two games of this World Series from the Houston Astros, even though Houston had home-field advantage. Then the contest moved east, where the Astros swept the next three games, even though the Nationals had home-field advantage. It’s only the third time in Series history that teams on the road have won the first five games – and tonight, for Game 6 and the remainder of the series, the venue switches again, moving back to Houston. Will the away t

BOB HEARTS ABISHOLA By David Bianculli

It’s taken this long, but tonight the on-again, off-again flirtation between the title characters rises to a new level: Bob takes Abishola on an actual date. But where? And how does it go? And, going straight to a place where a lot of this show’s humor is generated, what does her family think?

THE DEUCE By David Bianculli

SERIES FINALE: This is the end of the latest series from David Simon and company – which means, for sure, it’s the night’s very best bet. And though James Franco had a flashy dual role for much of The Deuce, the runaway star has turned out to be Maggie Gyllenhaal. Her character of Candy started this series as a defiantly independent street prostitute (pictured), and is ending it as a defiantly independent filmmaker of female erotica.

CATHERINE THE GREAT By David Bianculli

Mirren, Mirren, on the wall, who’s the best actress of them all? Well, Helen, you’re up there – but this new historical miniseries, in which she plays Russia’s last Empress, isn’t. It’s not written engagingly or at all imaginatively, and Mirren really is the principal season to watch, tonight’s second episode or beyond. If you must. This is one Mirren project, though, that is nota must-see.

2019 WORLD SERIES By David Bianculli

Tonight is Game 5 of the 2019 World Series – and now that it’s tied up at two games apiece, the prospects of drama on the diamond just keep increasing. So far, defying expectations, the home team has lost each of the first four games: The Washington Nationals took the first two games from the Astros in Houston, while Houston responded by winning the next two games on the Nationals’ home turf. (Last night was a relative trounce, with the Astros winning 8-1.) Tonight is the third
