Zoey hears and witnesses her first “internal” song duet in this week’s episode. And in another number, a character sings R.E.M.’s emotionally raw “Everybody Hurts,” which tells you this will not be an overwhelmingly buoyant, upbeat episode.

THE WALKING DEAD By David Bianculli

Last week’s episode put Alpha and Daryl in the same spot, both of them very near death as well as very near each other. Both survived – and this week, it’s Alpha and Negan who are paired up, as the whisperers prepare an all-out assault on the Hilltop.

THE OUTSIDER By David Bianculli

MINISERIES FINALE: Last week’s episode ended with a barrage of gunfire, aimed at several of the investigators tracking down the evil entity. The rifle was fired by the entity’s possessed, unwilling minion, Jack, and he claimed one victim before the TV screen went to black – but the sounds of the bullets being fired, one by one, continued for several harrowing seconds before the show ended. This week, in the miniseries finale, we learn who was and wasn’t spared in that awf

HOMELAND By David Bianculli

Last week’s episode of Homeland also ended with a very gripping cliffhanger – one that may have claimed the life of the president (Beau Bridges) in a helicopter crash. Whether he lives or dives, this show’s protagonists, Carrie and Saul (Claire Danes, Mandy Patinkin) are in very precarious situations as the episode begins. And since this is the final season for Homeland, not even they are safe for sure. Carrie probably lives to the bitter end, but it might b

LAST WEEK TONIGHT WITH JOHN OLIVER By David Bianculli

If John Oliver can make me laugh about this week’s headlines, he’s even more talented than I thought. But I’m more than willing to give him the chance. Right now, I need laughter even more than I need a coronavirus test kit.

SEVEN WORLDS, ONE PLANET MARATHON By David Bianculli

If you’ve been following my advice for the past seven weeks, this is a redundant recommendation, brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department (thanks, Mad magazine, for making that memorable joke all those decades ago). But if you haven’t been watching and recording Sir David Attenborough and his weekly Seven Worlds, One Planet episodes, with one installment devoted to each continent, then you’ve missed one of the best nature documentary series

YESTERDAY By David Bianculli

Richard Curtis and Jack Barth came up with the idea, and Curtis wrote the screenplay, for this imaginative 2019 movie, which Danny Boyle directed with flair. The premise is as simple as it is original: What if a man awoke one day to discover he was the only person alive with memories of The Beatles and their music? Himesh Patel plays the lucky musician, who gets to pass off the music as his own, and Lily James plays the woman who understandably is drawn to him, and his songs. It’s a movie
