SERIES PREMIERE: This Australian import is a fast-paced drama series created by and starring Scott Ryan, and fans of HBO’s Barry will recognize the premise: a burned-out hit man trying to quit his violent and deadly line of work, while keeping that career separate from his blossoming private life. Mr Inbetween has neither a period nor a hyphen in its title, and that same speed-demon approach applies to its storytelling style as well. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Wa

SEASON PREMIERE: This is Season 12 for this very long-running, still very funny sitcom – and it’s been announced that it’s coming to an end of its own volition, so savor them even more than usual. What I like most about this series is how organically and charmingly its characters have evolved, especially the peripheral characters who, over the years, have become more and more central. And following at 8:30 p.m. ET is the much younger, still sweet Young Sheldon.

SEASON PREMIERE: This is cycle number 15 for this best of all current reality competition series. And while the talent and the structure, season in and season out, continue to shine and to entertain, I worry when the familiarity of the show will begin to breed contempt. For now, though, I’m still planning, and looking forward, to seeing – and hearing – what’s in store.

The final act, fittingly, is her own. And while the films in which Fonda starred are show
