Tonight’s episode is called “Talk” – and it’s the first episode of the new, fourth season that. AMC didn’t provide to critics in advance. Consequently, I have no more idea of what’s about to happen than you do. I just know that, probably like you, I’ll be watching as it’s televised live, and watching eagerly. For his take on a unique scene from last week's episode (warning: spoilers are involved), please see David Hinckley's All Along the Wat

P.O.V.: "NOWHERE TO HIDE" By David Bianculli

In 2011, as American troops withdrew from Iraq, an Iraqi nurse named Nori Sharif (pictured) was given a video camera (by director Zaradasht Ahmed) and encouraged to film his country’s gradual rebirth. Instead, he ended up capturing a new civil war and the emergence of the Islamic State. Last year, this documentary was the ultimate result, and now premieres on P.O.V. Check local listings.

SHARP OBJECTS By David Bianculli

MINISERIES FINALE: Tonight is the night we find out, for certain, the identity of the murderer who has been targeting teen girls in Wind Gap. If Camille (Amy Adams) is right, at least one of the perpetrators, like one of the victims, is very, very close to home. By the way, if you’ve been watching this miniseries with a keen eye towards its creepily shifting visuals, and noticing the words that occasionally appear in odd places – perhaps as mood-reflecting hallucinations from Camille

WHO IS AMERICA? By David Bianculli

SEASON FINALE: Sacha Baron Cohen’s new series has pranked so many public figures so successfully that there may or may not be a Season 2. Either way, that makes this final installment of Season 1 a swing-for-the-fences episode for Cohen – and, perhaps, the one in which we’ll finally get to see him, in one of his alter egos (pictured), interacting with Sarah Palin, who already has complained about his treatment of her.
