Episode 2. …And this is the other true-crime case, Episode 2 of a 10-part dramatization of the O.J. Simpson trial. This episode sets out to recreate the “low-speed chase” that captivated America, captured by local TV stations’ traffic helicopters as Simpson was driven by a friend across the freeway at very low speeds, a gaggle of police cars right, but respectably, behind. This recreation does reflect the absurdity of it all, particularly with some details that were with

One of Stanley Kubrick’s many masterpieces, this 1975 film is positively gorgeous. Ryan O’Neal gives a performance that’s so restrained, yet so appropriate, and no period film has ever used natural lighting to such perfect effect.

Supergirl is impervious to a lot – but not, apparently, to a leech-like alien parasite that floods her with false memories while she’s trapped in a comatose-like dream state. And in Kara’s case, her personal dream world, informed by her deepest desires, puts her back on her home planet of Krypton, where she’s hanging out with her little cousin – Kal-el, better known in his older and flashier iteration as Superman.

Author Peter Bergen has a new book, United States of Jihad: Investigating America’s Homegrown Terrorists, that is distilled in director Greg Barker’s new documentary.

I’m not convinced Monday night is the best night for BBC America to turn around this Graham Norton talk show for American viewers. But while it’s here, don’t forget about it.

SERIES PREMIERE: How many Daily Show correspondents have graduated to their own TV talk and/or topical comedy shows? Let me count the ways: There’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on HBO. There’s Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS. There’s The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore on Comedy Central. And now, starting tonight, there’s Full Frontal with Samantha Bee on TBS.
