SERIES PREMIERE: Paul Abbott, creator of the original British version of Shameless, is the writer-producer behind this 2005 British import, a cop series set in Manchester, centered on a trio of women – one in charge, the other two up for promotion – who have to deal with interoffice politics and a grisly serial killer investigation at the same time. It’s like a slightly lighter version of Prime Suspect, which would never have a gaggle of officers, male and female, huddling in a

THE VOICE By David Bianculli

This is the first night of the Live Knockout Rounds, which this season, for the first time, are spread out over three straight nights, Monday through Wednesday. Tonight’s opener is worth watching not only for its intrinsic drama, but for an entertaining subplot. In the taped portions to date, which benefit from heavy editing, new judge Kelly Clarkson has proven herself to be a high-horsepower motor-mouth. On live TV, will she be able to restrain herself?

IZOMBIE By David Bianculli

In tonight’s new episode, Liv (Rose McIver) takes on the case of, and absorbs the memories and personality of, a notorious playboy. This, of course, opens her, and the show, up to all manner of potentially inappropriate behavior…

THE GOOD FIGHT By David Bianculli

In tonight’s new episode, Margo Martindale reprises her juicy role as Democratic National Committee consultant Ruth Eastman, who on The Good Wife was both an ally and adversary of Alan Cumming’s Eli Gold. Tonight, she shows up at Reddick, Boseman and Lockhart to discuss a top-secret political strategy: the possibility of impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. Where do The Good Fight producers Robert and Michelle King get their ideas?

KILLING EVE By David Bianculli

This series got a lot of attention, and deservedly so, when it premiered last week. This week, Villanelle (Jodie Comer) starts the episode by carrying out a particularly bloody kill – and Eve (Sandra Oh) gets the chance to identify and track her down.

THE CIRCUS: INSIDE THE WILDEST POLITICAL SHOW ON EARTH By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: Because of what happened between seasons to former co-starring correspondent Mark Halperin, who resigned his jobs after admitting to past incidents of sexual harassment while at ABC News, The Circus begins this season with a new regular correspondent: Alex Wagner (pictured) from CBS News. And this opening installment includes a visit to Moscow, where editors at the state-controlled newspaper are interviewed about their opinion of the current U.S. administration and its policies.

THE WALKING DEAD By David Bianculli

SEASON FINALE: In last week’s episode, Negan killed one right-hand-man, then appointed and betrayed another one. This week, Rick marshals his forces against Negan, in an ambush that only Negan knows is a death trap. Nevertheless, I’m rooting for Rick to finally end this two-season battle, because The Walking Dead has been limping for more than a year now.

HOMELAND By David Bianculli

Last week’s episode ended with Carrie (Claire Danes) positively beside herself – as in hallucinating that a hospital nurse approaching her actually was a doppelganger of Carrie herself. She also thought, for a trippy and horrifying moment, she may have accidentally hit her own daughter while backing up in a rush from her school. Carrie, this season, is falling apart emotionally – but Homeland, this season, is coming together more strongly than it has since its initial groundbre
