Tonight’s episode focuses on Syd, and provides a potential back story – starting with infancy, as it did when introducing David, her eventual boyfriend, enemy, quarry, and now what? Things have a way of shifting on Legion. How did the narrator introduce last week’s opening-tease synopsis of recent events and clips from the show? Something like “Purportedly on Legion”?

TV has always been fond of sketch comedy. It's gone from Sid Caesar and Milton Berle to The Kids in the Hall and Saturday Night Live. It's had the full range of people, as long as your range consists primarily of white males...

An origin story for the butler might feel like sweeping up crumbs from the story table, but as Downton Abbey proved when it told us that Carson the butler once anchored a dance team in music halls, that’s not necessarily always the case...

I’m really looking forward to this episode, because the 1970s were a hugely important period for the cinema.

SERIES PREMIERE: Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon, who teamed for Fox’s Batman prequel series Gotham, have come up with something even more backward-looking – a pre-prequel. Whereas Batman focused on the costumed crimefighter, and Gotham showed a younger Bruce Wayne as he developed into a secret avenger with help from his loyal family butler Alfred, Pennyworth goes back to London in the swinging Sixties to follow the butler himself &ndas

It would seem to be good news for the odd-couple investigators, because Jackie (Kevin Bacon) and DeCourcy (Aldis Hodge) have gotten an arms dealer in custody, and suspect him of supplying automatic weapons and other guns to the armored-car robbers. But while the remaining crooks plan yet another heist, Jackie and DeCourcy argure about whether to charge the dealer and reduce the number of illegal guns on the street, or keep him in play to pursue the robbers.

In this penultimate episode from Season 1 of The Good Fight, this CBS All Açcess series reached back into the cast list of CBS’s The Good Wife, this show’s parent program, to bring back a fan favorite: smarmy murderer Colin Sweeney, played by creepily, yet with such devilish charm, by Dylan Baker.

Tonight’s episode takes place in the year 2012, and hones in on the relationship between Fox News Channel chief Roger Ailes (Russell Crowe) and one of his star anchors, Gretchen Carlson (played by Naomi Watts).
