SEASON FINALE: I’ve been very impressed with this new political documentary series all season, and tonight’s expanded edition concludes one of the most unpredictable, or at less unpredicted, presidential races in American history. I’m calling this a season finale, rather than a series finale, because I hope, in 2020, The Circus will be back. (Along with, I hear some of you thinking, the Democrats.)

THE WALKING DEAD By David Bianculli

Last week’s Walking Dead focused entirely on one member of the post-apocalyptic zombie-avoiding family: Daryl (Norman Reedus), who had been carted away and imprisoned by Negan and the Saviors. In the end, Negan offered Daryl a chance to join his group – and Daryl refused. This week, we shift our focus back to Alexandria, and to Rick (Andrew Lincoln), who hasn’t been seen in the past two episodes.

CATCH-22 By David Bianculli

Here’s a network that has snuck up on me: Have you ever heard of RetroPlex? Neither have I. But this sister operation of the Starz network is here, on my satellite lineup, and it offers movies – very vintage and a bit more recent – unedited and uninterrupted. Today’s schedule, for example, includes Woody Allen’s Play It Again, Sam at 9:30 a.m. ET and Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes at 9:35 p.m. ET – and really caught my attention by making room, at
