SEASON FINALE: Tonight is the Season 2 finale of this Robert Rodriguez series spinoff of the movie he concocted originally with Quentin Tarantino. The El Rey network just renewed the show for a Season 3, so there will be more to come. Meanwhile, tonight, the featured guest star, continuing her recurring role as a gun-toting toughie, is singer Demi Lovato.

WHEN IT COMES TO VIOLENCE, ABC'S NEW DRAMA MIGHT BE TOO 'WICKED' By David Hinckley

ABC’s new Wicked City reminds us that if you’re going to build a show around the slaughter of pretty young women, you better have both a good reason and a good plan, or else might end up just unpleasant...

GOTHAM By David Bianculli

Galavan (James Frain) continues to manipulate the media, which helps him to amass even more power. The future Penguin, meanwhile, is anything but charismatic – but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have ways of amassing power on his own, even (or especially) if it means crossing Galavan.

FARGO By David Bianculli

This Season 2 version of Fargo is turning out to be an even bigger joy than Season 1, which I would have bet against, considering how good, and how entertaining, last season’s Fargo turned out to be. But every week of these early episodes I’ve seen, the characters get richer, the plots get deeper – and the stakes, especially for things going horribly wrong, get higher. Tonight, Jesse Plemons and Kirsten Dunst, as a young couple clearly heading in the wrong direction, begin to p

'SUPERGIRL': A COMIC BOOK HERO WITH STAYING POWER By Ed Bark

For this to fly (sorry), the title character in CBS’ Supergirl must be cast just right. Mission accomplished in this first full-fledged TV outing for Superman’s cousin...
