Sundance Now’s murder mystery Innocent could have been compressed into a two-hour movie, but it’s tense and intriguing enough that you’re glad it was stretched out into a four-hour miniseries...

2018 NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT By David Bianculli

The Sweet 16 round begins tonight with games from the South and West brackets, televised beginning at 7 p.m. ET on CBS, with games shown by both CBS and TBS. To illustrate the exciting volatile of the NCAA tournament. This left half of the bracket, as this third round of games arrives, already has eliminated both No. 1 seeds — and both No. 2 seeds as well.

GOTHAM By David Bianculli

This is another new episode where the women of Gotham City continue to amass and grab power — and chief among them tonight is Sofia Falcone (Crystal Reed), daughter of a former Gotham crime lord, who ended last week’s episode by wielding a hammer and bashing to shreds the hands of Narrows neighborhood boss Lee (Morena Baccarin) — who, like Sofia, has an ill-fated former relationship with Gordon.

GONE WITH THE WIND By David Bianculli

TCM is saluting famous movie endings this month — and this 1939 Civil War epic ends with what, at the time, was a fairly un-civil utterance. At the time, it may have shocked with its bluntness.

THE X-FILES By David Bianculli

SEASON FINALE: For some reason, it’s a big night for season finales and premieres. One of tonight’s finales is the season ender of The X-Files, with the episode called “My Struggle IV.” And a concern, with this series that began in the 1990s and was recently revived, is that few people are following or caring about this show’s ongoing mythology episodes — to be able to recall “Struggle I” and “II,” or even to know to whose struggle it&r

KRYPTON By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: This new Syfy series provides a prequel to the Superman saga by setting a series on his home planet, a few generations before Superman, a.k.a. Kal-El, was born. Gotham has created a fine prequel series by taking the Batman story back to Bruce Wayne’s adolescence, but this allows the show’s writers to attack a basically blank canvas. For full reviews, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes and David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower.

FULL FRONTAL WITH SAMANTHA BEE By David Bianculli

I can’t wait to write that there seems to be nothing much for Samantha Bee to make fun of this week in terms of national headlines — but each week, I seem to be denied the opportunity. And with Russian “elections” and Stormy “allegations,” here we go again…
