SERIES PREMIERE: This BBC Two drama, written by David Hare, stars Carey Mulligan, who also starred recently in the London and Broadway revivals of Hare’s play Skylight. Here, she plays Det. Inspector Kip Glaspie, who’s investigating the murder of a pizza delivery boy – and suspects the case is more complex than it appears. Other co-stars include John Simm as a British politician, and Billie Piper as his ex, who ordered the pizza. Collateral is exactly the sort of police drama t

LOVE By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: This is Season 3 for this wry love, and sometimes anti-love, story, starring Gillian Jacobs and Paul Rust. It’s created by Judd Apatow and real-life couple Leslie Arfin and Rust – and while love may or may not live happily every ever, Love will not. Whatever happens with and to this show’s romantically entangled protagonists, this is its final season.

MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. By David Bianculli

This is the landmark 100th episode for this ABC Marvel Comics series. Well, it’s a landmark according to ABC, anyway, which is promoting the episode with as much anticipatory buildup as it can muster. “Everything has led to this,” its promos declare. But if “everything” means a deal that Coulson made with Ghost Rider, this series’ weakest character, I’ll watch, and hope, but I’m curbing my enthusiasm.

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER By David Bianculli

Tonight’s scheduled top-of-the-show guest, who gets about 10-15 minutes to be interviewed by Bill Maher one-on-one, is Kathy Griffin. She hasn’t been seen on TV much since the backlash over her May 17 photo in which she posed for social media holding a bloodied Trump mask. Now she’s attempting to reclaim her career and her voice – and doing it on a show whose host once got fired himself, in an ABC series called Politically Incorrect, for making a controversial comment abo

NETFLIX'S 'COLLATERAL' DELIVERS INTRIGUE ALONG WITH ITS PIZZA By David Hinckley

At first it seems like the most random murder of the whole TV season: A South London pizza deliverer is shot twice in the chest as he leaves the building where he made the delivery. Collateral, a four-part closed-end Netflix miniseries that becomes available Friday (March 9), weaves a much more complex story...

MARVEL'S JESSICA JONES By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: It’s been three years since Krysten Ritter first appeared as the star of Marvel’s Jessica Jones, playing a particularly damaged super-powered protagonist from the Marvel Comics universe. Her character, in the TV series, doesn’t even have a costumed alter ego or even a costume. Just a drinking problem, an angry attitude, and a tiny private-eye outfit called Alias Investigations. Her closest friend and confidante is her sister, Trish, and her most severe trauma,

GOTHAM By David Bianculli

Cameron Monaghan returns as Jerome, who’s becoming more like the Joker every time he appears. Poison Ivy is becoming more recognizably villainous, too – and on the other side of the law, the future Batman also makes an appearance, sort of, as Ivy gives young Bruce Wayne a venomously propelled dream-world glimpse into his future, as a costumed hero with his own cave.

HIGH NOON By David Bianculli

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD By David Bianculli

Here’s tonight’s other TCM classic about one man standing up against injustice. This time it’s a black man being tried for murder, with Gregory Peck playing Atticus Finch, the lawyer who is determined to give his client fair representation, even in a very small and largely bigoted town. Mary Badham plays Atticus’ daughter, Scout, and Robert Duvall, in this 1962 movie, has a small but meaningful role as Boo. Horton Foote wrote the screenplay adaptation of Harper Lee’
