GOTHAM By David Bianculli

The Joker, the Scarecrow, the Mad Hatter – they’re loose, sprung from Arkham Asylum, and they’re working together. That’s one side of the evil equation in Gotham. On the other: a newly empowered Barbara, an angry Lee, and, while she’s been dormant in recent episodes, a vengeful Ivy. Men on one side, women on the other, all seeking to rule Gotham, with the Penguin and the Riddler as very loose cannons. These recent episodes of Gotham have packed more villains per hou

NATURE: "SEX, LIES AND BUTTERFLIES" By David Bianculli

The long-running PBS Nature series has found new ways to tell familiar stories, doing such technological tricks as building cameras that look like creatures, and sending “animal cams” out to mingle in the wild. But sometimes, just pointing today’s high-definition, super-slow-motion cameras is more than enough, as with tonight’s stunningly colorful special about the life, feeding and mating habits, and gorgeous colorations of butterflies.

THE AMERICANS By David Bianculli

ROSEANNE By David Bianculli

Roseanne and company blew through the first test of their modern relaunch, notching what President Trump would call “huuuge” ratings and inspiring a series of pundit queries about the larger meaning of the show’s return and initial success in the Trump era. ABC already has renewed Roseanne for a second season, so for the cast and creators of this sitcom, mission definitely accomplished. But now comes the tricky part: maintaining the audience and the momentum. And that test begi

THE VOICE By David Bianculli

This year’s Knockout Rounds have incorporated a new “Save” button for the judges to use – but the even better idea, incorporated for the first time this season, is to bring back former winners of The Voice as mentors for this new round. There’s no question this show is a superb showcase for the judges – but bringing back former winners is a way to remind everyone of the talent around which a singing competition series really is built.
