Tonight, as tensions escalate between police and their elusive, menacing quarry, we get the origin story of Looking Glass (Tim Blake Nelson) – or, as Jean Smart’s Laurie Blake calls him, “Mirror guy.”

Jeremy Allen White’s Lip has an even more weighty responsibility, as the father of a new baby. One Gallagher leaves on Shameless, as Emmy Rossum’s Fiona did at the end of last season, and another one, a very tiny and needy one, takes her place.

Episodes 3 and 4. Daisy Haggard continues her strong starring role here as Miri Matteson, who’s back in her small seaside town after serving 18 years in prison for a murder conviction. But did she do it? These episodes drop more insight into that question, as well as a lot more information about the people around her in this small town, and what they were doing, with and to Miri, all those years ago. And in the present, she encounters some niceness – but only between bouts of awkward

Given the relationship between Kathryn Hahn’s empty-nest mother and her new-to-college son, not to mention her new amorous relationship with one of the former classmates her son used to torment in high school, tonight’s episode title, “Parents’ Weekend,” promises a lot of conflict.

Impeachment hearings on Wednesday, more impeachment hearings on Friday, and John Oliver on Sunday. Three unmissable politically charged TV events of this week – but only one of them will make you laugh. Or should.

By the time Queen Elizabeth had been ruling Britain for a decade, it's safe to say she had banished any tiny vestiges of spontaneity, impulse, or fun from her public behavior...

It can happen to anyone, really. You kill a corrupt cop, decapitate him, toss his head into the water and figure that's that...

Disney’s Frozen 2 arrives in theaters next Thursday, a week after the company launched Disney+ and immediately amassed some 12 million subscribers to its brand new streaming service. (Not a bad month for Disney, or for anyone.) And even though Frozen 2 is an even surer bet as a major instant hit, Disney is sweetening the pot by using one of its cable entities, Freeform, to present a well-timed repeat showing of the original 2013 Frozen animated musical. If the

Frank Pierson won an Oscar for his screenplay for this fact-based 1975 film, and deserved to – but he had help from two significant directions. Al Pacino, as hapless bank robber Sonny, improvised the film’s most famous scene, in which he excited and incited a crowd of onlookers by screaming “Attica!,” as director Sidney Lumet brilliantly captured the ensuing mayhem. Then there’s the real story itself, based on the magazine article by P.F. Kluge. It’s about a m

Tonight’s new episode is guaranteed to poke fun at the first week of House Impeachment proceedings – but otherwise, most of the show is likely to go in another direction. Make that One Direction, since a former member of that boy band, Harry Styles, is scheduled to show up tonight as both guest host and musical guest.
