GARY GULMAN: THE GREAT DEPRESH By David Bianculli

This new HBO standup comedy special has Gary Gulman taking the stage, and the microphone, to speak frankly – and sometimes, but not always, very humorously – about his lifelong struggle with depression. If comedy is indeed the best medicine, I prescribe this special without hesitation. Depression isn’t funny, but Gulman is.

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE By David Bianculli

Tonight’s lineup may be not only the strongest SNL lineup of the year, but of the entire decade. Taylor Swift is the musical star, and the host, who just carted away more than her share of statuettes at last Sunday’s Emmy Awards, is Fleabag writer and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

PEAKY BLINDERS By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: Season 5 of this rough-and-tumble British series begins with its characters and focus spread far and wide, from native England to Monte Carlo and the United States. All the fast-moving initial action, though, takes place on the same day: the day in 1929 on which the American stock market crashed, plunging the country into the Great Depression.
