IZOMBIE By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: This is the Season 5 premiere for iZombie, and the season begins with a departure from the show’s usual structure. In almost every episode to date since becoming an assistant murder investigator, the zombie Liv (Rose McIver) has gone about solving her cases by tasting the brains of the murder victim, absorbing his or her personality and memories, and proceeding with that helpful helping of “insider” knowledge. But for tonight’s season opener, though Liv i

THE PARALLAX VIEW By David Bianculli

Early in his film career, Alan J. Pakula produced such important movies as 1962’s To Kill a Mockingbird. Later in his film career, he wrote the screenplays for such important movies as 1982’s Sophie’s Choice. And in between those two decades and triumphs, he directed some of the best films of the 1970s – including a trio of brilliant explorations of paranoia. In 1971, Klute.

THE ACT By David Bianculli

SERIES FINALE: This gripping, unsettling series ends tonight, providing the final chapter to this fact-based story of a young woman who enticed her boyfriend to kill her mother. Last week, the body had been discovered, and the young couple were being interviewed separately by investigators.

Patricia Arquette stars a

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: The House in this title is the House of Representatives, and the Knock Down is the attempts by a handful of female candidates to challenge and/or unseat more establishment male politicians in the 2018 midterm elections. Not all of the attempts filmed for this documentary succeeded – in fact, most of them fall short – but one candidate who emerged triumphantly is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, now a Democratic representative from New York, and quickly becoming a recog

2019 BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS By David Bianculli

Kelly Clarkson hosts, Taylor Swift performs, and other things happen, too: Mariah Carey performs, and Paula Abdul, and even Madonna. But those first two names alone will be reason enough for millions of fans, of either or both of them, to tune in.

BROCKMIRE By David Bianculli

Tonight’s new episode features a return visit by J.K. Simmons as Matt “The Bat” Hardesty, the sports legend who is the long-time adversary for Hank Azaria’s Brockmire. But now that the Bat is dying, maybe there’s room for a reconciliation. Maybe, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Not even Pete Rose would bet on that…
