Most of us have that inner voice, telling us to watch less television. It's always been there...But now that changes: With coronavirus concerns, watching TV is a socially responsible thing to do...

'LOST GIRLS' TELLS THE PAINFUL STORY OF THE SEARCH FOR THE SERIAL MURDERER OF YOUNG WOMEN By David Hinckley

An unsolved serial murder case doesn't make for a wildly uplifting television show, but the Netflix production, Lost Girls, finds small victories in a sad game...

THE PALE HORSE By David Bianculli

PREMIERE: Sarah Phelps, who recently adapted Agatha Christie’s Ordeal by Innocence very successfully as a multi-part TV mystery drama, does it again with another Christie mystery. This one, presented in two parts and televised in the U.K. last month, stars Rufus Sewell as man with very personal reasons for solving a series of mysteries. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

BLOODRIDE By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: This new Netflix series originates from another country: Norway, to be specific, where it’s known under the title of Blodtur. It’s a horror anthology series in which a half-dozen passengers board a mysterious bus, each telling a different eerie story before disembarking. Six twisted tales, as the promo announces. And six subtitled stories. If you’ve seen any TV series or movies from Norway, you know just the type of bleakness and weirdness to expect.

LINCOLN RHYME: HUNT FOR THE BONE COLLECTOR By David Bianculli

SEASON FINALE: The season’s last two episodes of Lincoln Rhyme are presented tonight on NBC, televised as a two-parter. Will the series, and the story, continue beyond these episodes? The network hasn’t decided – but it wouldn’t surprise me, when NBC in a few months assembles its projected schedule for next fall, that its plans include neither Rhyme nor reason.

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER By David Bianculli

Tonight’s live episode of Real Time will be especially captivating to watch for two reasons. One, so much news regarding reactions to the spreading coronavirus has broken the past few days that Maher, commenting on it in and on Real Time, should have an awful lot to say. And two, will he be performing in front of his usual studio audience – or, like this Sunday’s Joe Boden and Bernie Sanders at their Democratic debate, without benefit of a crowd?

A CREEPY BUT WELL-DONE VERSION OF CHRISTIE'S 'THE PALE HORSE' ON AMAZON PRIME By David Hinckley

Agatha Christie stories, always tense and scary, don't often get as downright eerie as the new TV version of The Pale Horse...

DEVS By David Bianculli

This FX on Hulu series – yes, it’s on Hulu, but it’s from FX, if that makes any sense – continues tonight with Episode 3, the first of its now weekly installments since last year’s double-decker launch. Nick Offerman gives a career-best role as Forest, a somewhat inscrutable Silicon Valley visionary – and the idea that’s unveiled in this series, regarding the top-secret project behind the “Devs” development drawbridge of the mysteri

FULL METAL JACKET By David Bianculli

Stanley Kubrick directed this 1987 movie, a Vietnam film so stylized, it fits nicely into the Kubrick canon. Matthew Modine stars throughout – but in the opening half, R. Lee Ermey as the sergeant, and Vincent D’Onofrio as the private who is his favorite target, are unforgettably good.

MODERN FAMILY By David Bianculli

The finale for ABC’s Modern Family is only a month away – and the network is giving viewers a chance this week to mini-binge, by showing a clump of repeat episodes in prime time tonight. This is a TV family it’s always fun to spend time with, so enjoy the visit.
