THE CIRCUS: INSIDE THE CRAZIEST POLITICAL SHOW ON EARTH By David Bianculli

This week, the Atlantic story broke about President Trump’s reported disdain for the military and its wounded veterans. How does that erupt, and spread, in the political world covered by the correspondents of The Circus? And will this prove to be a significant turning point in the unprecedented political trajectory of Donald Trump? Or just another thing his followers and supporters seem more than happy to accept and ignore? From this show’s savvy crew, expect some

LOVECRAFT COUNTRY By David Bianculli

Last week, the basic inspiration for the mood and theme of that particular episode seemed to be Poltergeist. Tonight, it appears to be Raiders of the Lost Ark, with an extended sequence that has the heroes trying to traverse a dangerous, ancient series of subterranean trails, underwater traps, and ancient puzzles.

WE HUNT TOGETHER By David Bianculli

This series has turned out to be a really engrossing character study, and each of the four primary characters has revealed aspects of their personality that have proven quite surprising. The female killer apparently was a victim of sexual abuse in her past while a girl at school, and now has a chance at revenge – while the female investigator (Eve Myles) has a history of abuse as well. But in her case, it’s drug abuse – using heroin while seeking the aforementioned female kille

GET SMART MARATHON By David Bianculli

From noon ET today for the rest of the weekend, DECADES is filling the weekend with episodes of the brilliant TV comedy spoof Get Smart, which eviscerated the secret agent spy craze that had launched just a few years earlier with Sean Connery as James Bond 007. This 1965-70 series stars Don Adams as Maxwell Smart and Barbara Feldon as his ultra-patient, ever-adoring Agent 99, with Edward Platt as Max’s increasingly frustrated Chief (think Herbert Lom, driven to tics and tears by

MOANA By David Bianculli

This 2016 animated musical Disney film is delightful, and proudly presents its own modern Polynesian fable, in which an island chieftain’s only daughter takes it upon herself to remove a curse that has descended upon their land. She finds the demigod responsible, then embarks with him on a journey to restore his heart – by restoring someone else’s.

THE BOYS By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: The first three episodes of this new Season 2 were sneaked onto Amazon as a surprise to fans yesterday – but its official relaunch is today, when one new Season 2 episode will be added every Friday. As with last season, The Boys does something other than the usual costumed heroes vs. costumed villains approach to comic-book series. It has heroes who secretly (and sometimes not so secretly) act as villains, opposed only by renegade paranormals who are br
