DIETLAND By David Bianculli

Tonight is Episode 5, of a series that gets more darkly comic, and just plain more dark, every week. In this new episode, Plum (Joy Nash) enters the dating world and quickly tires of it – which may be why the hour is titled “Plum Tuckered.”

2018 FIFA WORLD CUP By David Bianculli

I hope you started the day, as I did, tuning in early to Fox Sports 1 for today’s first World Cup match, featuring England vs. Panama. I’m writing this just before halftime, and haven’t been able to focus on writing because the game has been too exciting. As I type this sentence, England is ahead 4-0, and it’s the first time England has scored four goals in a World Cup since 1966, when the Beatles were still performing live. And as I wrote that sentence, still before half

WESTWORLD By David Bianculli

SEASON FINALE: There’s a real sense of impending danger, if not doom, in tonight’s extended Season 2 finale. All of the surviving major characters are heading to the same place (and some of the non-surviving ones, too, since they’ve been repaired and rebooted, or even hijacked). More characters than ever are self-aware, and many of them, through different means, are seeking either freedom or immortality. Or both.
