Last week’s opener in this miniseries study of the Egyptian queen traced her ascent to, and early exercise of, power. Tonight’s follow-up, “Love and Death,” succinctly summarizes tonight’s events – even if it does sound like a Woody Allen comedy.

GOOD GIRLS By David Bianculli

This is the third episode of this new NBC series, which continues to entangle the three suburban buddies – played by Christina Hendricks (Mad Men, Another Period), Mae Whitman (pictured, from Parenthood) and Retta (Parks and Recreation) – as unwilling agents of a fierce local mobster. In tonight’s installment, “Borderline,” he sends them on a mission to cross the border into Canada and bring back a mysterious package. Making them reluctant agents of a powerful black

'JANE' IS A LOVE STORY - OF NATURE, AND OF HUMAN NATURE By David Hinckley

This is far from the first Jane Goodall film, but it has something the others did not: excerpts from hundreds of hours of footage shot by Goodall’s soon-to-be husband Hugo Van Lawick during her early years in Africa...

AMERICAN IDOL By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: Two years after this Fox reality-TV musical competition juggernaut left the air, it’s back – on a new network, and, save for host Ryan Seacrest, with an all-new lineup. The hosts for this comeback lap, presented by ABC instead of Fox, are Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie. The question is, will viewers show up this time, even out of curiosity?

O.J. SIMPSON: THE LOST CONFESSION? By David Bianculli

SPECIAL PREMIERE: Here’s an obvious bit of network street-fighting nastiness. On the same night and time that ABC tries to relaunch former Fox hit American Idol, Fox counters by presenting a special it’s been promoting heavily, and one for which the tune-in curiosity factor is at least as formidable.

COUNTERPART By David Bianculli

Last week, J.K. Simmons got a break as Nazanin Boniadi, as Claire and her doppelganger, filled the entire episode – and deepened the series even more as a result.

THE WALKING DEAD By David Bianculli

Last week’s episode presented individual segments focused on six different players from the Walking Dead universe. And even all that narrative catch-up, in the wake of Carl’s demise, doesn’t fully get us up to speed. Expect more of the same tonight, as the overall story keep building towards a climax Carl was hoping to avoid: one more deadly showdown between Rick and Negan.
