THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW By David Bianculli

Among tonight’s guests is Billie Piper, who was a young pop star in Britain before becoming a companion on Doctor Who 16 years ago, then maturing into an actress taking on very bold roles – and taking them on very well, whether as a sex worker in Secret Diary of a Call Girl or a reanimated corpse in the original Penny Dreadful.

MR. MAYOR By David Bianculli

I continue to support this new NBC comedy series because it keeps making me laugh – and for now, also because you don’t have to subscribe to Peacock to watch it.

FIREFLY LANE By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: Based on the book by Kristin Hannah, Firefly Lane is a sort of This Is Us for Netflix, using flashbacks as well as modern-day scenes to tell its story. In this case, it’s the story of two teen girls – one more popular and self-assured than the other – who bond as young teens, and remain friends as adults. The adults are why this series is worth mentioning: The more mature versions of its central characters are played by Katherine Heigl of&nb

RESIDENT ALIEN By David Bianculli

If you didn’t sample this new sci-fi Syfy series last week, give it a try. Alan Tudyk stars as an alien from outer space who masquerades as a small-town doctor. It’s as strange as it sounds – but more entertaining.
