After yesterday’s play, and weather, almost anything is possible. So if it’s drama you want, this Old Course gauntlet in Scotland is the tournament for you. This year, however, it is not the tournament for Tiger Woods…

WELCOME TO SWEDEN By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: Greg Poehler, Amy’s brother, returns for Season 2 of this enjoyably different summer series, loosely based on his own life. He plays Bruce, a show-biz accountant who falls in love with a beautiful blonde from Sweden – and impulsively follows her there, professes his love, and tries to settle down. Josephine Bornebusch plays the blonde in question, and she’s both beautiful and funny enough to make the premise believable and Welcome to Sweden delightful. And then

HUMANS By David Bianculli

Tonight, Anita the synth house helper reveals a bit more of her personality – even though she’s not really supposed to have one. This series treads on very familiar sci-fi territory, but does it with unusual sensitivity and, yes, humanity.

TRUE DETECTIVE By David Bianculli

Last week’s episode ended with a shootout, and a bloodbath, and the three surviving law-enforcement officials staring at one another in disbelief. So, after the unexpected carnage, now what? That’s the question of the day, and the subject of tonight’s new episode.

RAY DONOVAN By David Bianculli

Pay close attention to the women in tonight’s episode. They’re dangerous, whether they’re the tough-gal Mexican wrestler in the gym (played with dominating fervor by Alyssa Diaz) or the no-nonsense multi-millionaire’s daughter (played with flinty ferocity by Katie Holmes, pictured) looking to hire Ray for her own reasons.

SAVE MY LIFE: BOSTON TRAUMA By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: This new summertime medical documentary series comes from executive producer Terence Wrong, whose past achievements include ABC’s Boston Med, NY Med and Hopkins, among others. I’m not sure which is the more amazing feat: getting hospitals to cooperate with his film crews in filming honest accounts of what happens in operating rooms and emergency rooms, or, year after year, getting ABC to finance and broadcast these excellent, important medical documentary series.

SPIKE'S 'TUT' IS A BETTER THAN EXPECTED PLAYGROUND FOR KINGS AND KINGSLEY By Ed Bark

Hey, it’s not all that bad. And in the coin of Spike TV’s realm, that equates to being pretty good. Tut is the young male-targeted network’s first original scripted drama since 2007, when Kill Point came and went...

2015 BRITISH OPEN GOLF TOURNAMENT By David Bianculli

If you enjoy watching golf at all, then as soon as you read this, tune to ESPN and see what’s happening today – because it’s brutal, and amazing, and unlike anything I’ve ever seen before on televised golf. Yesterday, torrential rains stopped play for hours, and the advent of darkness made them suspend play at St. Andrews until the sun rose on Saturday. At the end of play Friday night, Dustin Johnson held the lead at 10 under par, having completed only 13 holes of his sec

LOLITA By David Bianculli

Stanley Kubrick approached Vladimir Nabokov’s controversial erotic novel about the only way he could have in 1962: By stressing the humor in the story rather than the sexual elements, and by aging the character of Lolita, played by Sue Lyon, a few years to make her a bit less of a nymphet. James Mason plays the professor who’s come completely undone by his attraction to the young girl, Shelley Winters plays her abrasive mother, and Peter Sellers, in a movie-stealing role, plays&helli
