THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT By David Bianculli

Musically, if you know Who – and you like the Who – AXS has a great lineup for you tonight. In addition to programs profiling and interviewing members of the seminal rock band, tonight’s AXS lineup presents two equally seminal Who movies. One, at 7 p.m. ET, is this fast-paced, music-filled documentary about the group, which includes its infamous American TV debut on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1967, when Keith Moon super-sized the explosive charges in his drum kit and

RISK By David Bianculli

MOVIE PREMIERE: Last year, director Laura Poitras, the filmmaker behind the fascinating Citizenfour, premiered her documentary film on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at the Cannes Film Festival. This is its TV debut – and for the occasion, Poitras has updated Risk by adding new footage tied to the 2016 presidential campaign – during which WikiLeaks dumped thousands of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee, an action which continues to generate headlines top this day.

2017 BRITISH OPEN GOLF By David Bianculli

The first day of play at the Royal Birkdale course was an uncharacteristically clear and pleasant one, which helped three players – including former Major winners Jordan Spieth and Brooks Koepka – finish the day five strokes under par, at 65. But day two could bring new weather… and, on this treacherous course in Southport, England, significantly higher scores. For a preview, see Gerald Jordan’s Crossing Jordan.

OZARK By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: Many critics are comparing this new drama series to AMC’s Breaking Bad – an unfair comparison, and not only because it sets an almost impossible standard to equal. But comparisons to that and other prestige crime series are unavoidable, as well as unfortunate.
