BETTER CALL SAUL By David Bianculli

Jimmy and Kim looked to be drifting apart this season, as Jimmy officially adopted the new name, and less legal practices, of Saul Goodman.

THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA By David Bianculli

MINISERIES PREMIERE: David Simon and Ed Gross, who teamed up for The Wire, are back with this HBO miniseries adaptation of Philip Roth’s disturbing novel.

Two weeks ago, it seemed like news was moving at breakneck speed as the Democrats quickly winnowed its field down to two major candidates, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.
