I’m not yet convinced this imported horror miniseries is getting better – but it sure is getting weirder. And tonight, with its supernatural intrigue getting up to Episode 5, the weirdness is pushing the dial all the way to 11.

SEASON PREMIERE: Here’s another series I’m not won over by, but not quite willing to give up on. For Season 2, Snowpiercer is introducing some new characters, and even a new villain or two – but its allegorical sci-fi story about the haves vs. the have-nots still feels, at this point, like an overly exaggerated examination of the travel differences between first class and coach…

In college basketball, they would refer to today’s pair of games as the Final Four: Two contests, with the victors of each game advancing to the national championship. Only in pro football, the championship game is the Super Bowl. The NFC Championship Game is played first – at 3 p.m. on Fox, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers facing the Green Bay Packers. Then, at 6:30 p.m. on CBS, the AFC Championship Game follows with the Buffalo Bills vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. And in both games, ther

The year 2021 has been a roller-coaster already, but for The Circus, it’s been one triumph after another. Being behind the scenes to cover politics may be dull in some years, and maybe we’ll be fortunate enough to feel that again someday – but for right now, the tumult in Washington, D.C. has been captured up close and personal by the correspondents of this as-it-happens political documentary series.
