SEASON FINALE: If you’ve been watching this mystery drama from the start, as Apple TV+ has been rolling out weekly episodes, tonight is the season finale. And if you haven’t been watching – well, that’s still the case.

SEASON PREMIERE: This is Season 3 for Somebody Feed Phil, which follows Everybody Loves Raymond co-creator Phil Rosenthal as he travels around the world making new friends and trying new foods. Previous seasons of this series have been life-affirming, funny, and the sort of show that makes you want to start making travel plans. This year, watching this season that was filmed pre-pandemic, the first two elements remain true. The last one, not so much. When there’s a pote

SERIES PREMIERE: This new series is co-created by Greg Daniels, who already scored an out-of-this-world home run this month with Amazon’s Upload, and Steve Carell, his former star of NBC’s The Office. Carell also stars here, playing the newly appointed head of the new Space Force arm of the armed forces. It’s a little too much like HBO’s Avenue 5, which also transplanted bureaucratic clashes and egos to outer space. In Space Force,

Beginning today and running through June 7, the TriBeCa Film Festival is combining with other film festival organizations around the world, similarly prevented from holding their annual cinematic showcases in physical spaces with large crowds, to present their wares online – and for free. Today’s opening-day offerings, listed on its website and available on the We Are One YouTube channel, include Traveling While Black, a film that couldn’t be more timel

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: From today through all of June, local PBS member stations can opt to show the TV premiere of An Accidental Studio, which would generate a lot more initial enthusiasm had it included George Harrison in its title. That’s because the studio in question is Handmade Films, which the former Beatle formed simply so he could rescue, finance, distribute and, most of all, watch a movie in the works from his friends at Monty Python’s Flying Circus. The first rele

SEASON FINALE: “The Gang Discovers Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein” is the title of today’s new season finale of The Good Fight. And while that sounds audacious, it’s approached as a smart piece of fictional drama that often alludes to real-life people, events and issues. In this hour, the legal firm is hired as an objective outsider to investigate whether or not Epstein’s death was a suicide – and the clues they follow, regardless of any conclusion, empl
