Just because Graham Norton’s guest couch is virtual these days, that doesn’t mean he can’t continue to fill it with interesting guests. Tonight, that roster includes one of my favorite current TV writer-producer-stars, Phoebe Waller-Bridge of Fleabag and Killing Eve (and now about to pop up on HBO’s new Run sitcom), and Richard E. Grant, co-star of one of my favorite current TV shows, AMC’s Dispatches from Elsewhere. Oh, and f

THE GOOD FIGHT By David Bianculli

Have you gotten Memo 618? If you have, then you don’t have to worry about the law. And if you haven’t even heard about Memo 618, then you haven’t been watching this new season of The Good Fight, in which Christine Baranski’s Diane Lockhart is investigating the rumors of said memo, which supposedly gives defendants the means by which to ignore judges and their courtroom rulings and orders. Meanwhile, without a memo of her own, Diane heads into court facing an old

SANCTUARY By David Bianculli

MINISERIES PREMIERE: This eight-part imported Scandinavian drama stars Josefin Asplund in a dual role, as twin sisters Helena and Siri. Siri is confined, and held prisoner, in a high-security facility, and manages to work it so that Helena, unknowingly and at first unconsciously, takes her place so that Siri can go free. Sounds clever – but I can't help notice that it's the exact same plot used in a 1971 British Hammer horror movie, Twins of Evil. I knew watching that film would pay o

TWELFTH NIGHT By David Bianculli

SPECIAL PREMIERE: For a month now, England’s National Theatre has presented, on its website and on its own YouTube channel, weekly special treats for people shut in by the pandemic. (In the U.K., of course, but we also get to share in the benefits here in the U.S.) Every Thursday at midnight, National Theatre At Home presents, for seven days, a televised stage production from its archives.

NEW YORK IN THE '70S MOVIE MARATHON By David Bianculli

This week’s “New York in the '70s” movie feature on TCM looks at movies written by Neil Simon – and that means a triple feature, with other movies to spare.

WILL & GRACE By David Bianculli

SERIES FINALE: Technically, this is Finale #2, because NBC’s Will & Grace, the first time around, presented a one-hour series finale in 2006, after eight seasons on the air, and with the title characters having raised their own children. When the series returned for more episodes 11 years later, in 2017, there were no children to be found (that was careless of them), and Will & Grace continued, with the characters older but no wiser, for another three years. And
