STRIKING OUT By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: This 2017 series is another European import from Acorn TV, which lately has seen its territory invaded by Netflix. But this is an Irish series from TRE One, and stars Amy Huberman as Tara Rafferty, a woman’s advocate in Ireland who leaves the law firm of her fiancé after learning of his affair with another colleague. She starts her own small firm, specializing in family and divorce law.

BENJI By David Bianculli

MOVIE PREMIERE: Yes, Benji is back — and he’s still a rescue dog. This 1970s canine cinema character, played (of course) by a new four-legged feature star, is revived for a new era, but with the same feel-good, avoid-the-treacle family film approach. The plot involves a couple of kids, and a witnessed robbery, but Benji’s real co-star here is the city of New Orleans.

2018 NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT By David Bianculli

How long did it take for a thrilling, buzzer-beating upset at this year’s tournament? The first day, when, during yesterday’s game between No. 6 South seed Miami Hurricanes vs. No. 11 seed Loyola-Chicago Ramblers, the Ramblers sank the game-winning three-pointer with 0.3 seconds left on the clock. March madness, baby! Today, once again, games are available on four networks, beginning at noon ET on CBS, 12:30 p.m. ET on truTV, 1:30 p.m. ET on TNT, and 2 p.m. ET on TBS.

MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. By David Bianculli

Tonight’s episode is really heavy: It not only has Coulson confronting his own death (and remember, he’s died before, in The Avengers movie), but has the S.H.I.E.L.D. team trying to save the Earth by amassing some strange elemental force called Gravitonium.

TABULA RASA By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: This new Netflix import comes from Belgium, and is shown in Dutch and subtitled. The 2017 drama series is a combination police investigation and horror film, and stars Veerle Baetans as a mother with amnesia – and with visions of awful things happening to her young daughter. Baetans not only stars in the series, but co-created and co-wrote it as well. But I haven’t previewed it, so you tell me whether or not Tabula Rasa qualifies as a Dutch treat.
