This is sad, but not without a certain patina of comic irony. Tonight at 10 ET, WGN was supposed to premiere The Disappearance, the network’s importation of a new Canadian mystery miniseries about the investigation of a young boy’s disappearance in a small town. Led by Peter Coyote, Rectify star Aden Young and Man in the High Castle star Camille Sullivan, the cast was tantalizing – but a few days ago, The Disappearance disappeared from the WGN schedule. The network has replaced

SEASON PREMIERE: The first two episodes of Season 2 of Harlots are available now, offering a new series regular who joins Samantha Morton and company. It’s Liv Tyler (pictured), who plays a wealthy socialite who’s drawn into the world of the 18th-century London brothel trade. As Season 2 begins, it’s still a pitched battle between rival madams Margaret Wells (Morton) and her ruthless upscale counterpart, Lydia Quigley (Leslie Manville) – but almost instantly, Lydia is car

Yesterday, France controlled its match against the usually explosive Belgium so handily, and methodically, it was such a defensive display of confidence and greatness that, when France struck with a goal partway through, there was the sense that would be enough – and it was. France will play in the 2018 World Cup Final on Sunday, facing whichever team emerges triumphant in today’s semifinal match between England and Croatia. Croatia has served up nail-biting thrillers its last two ga

SERIES PREMIERE: Comedian Goldthwait’s name is in the title not because he’s on screen in this new anthology series (he’s not), but because he’s the creator, and has generated this string of stand-alone stories that mix suspense and fantasy tales with something comically twisted. So the werewolf, for example, isn’t running from an angry mob: it’s running for high political office. And in tonight’s opener, “Bubba the Bear,” an actor (played by

It’s really serious now. We’ve arrived at the semifinals, and so have only four teams, each of whom is still, quite literally in this tournament, alive and kicking. Tomorrow at 2 p.m. ET on Fox, we have England vs. Croatia, a must-see game. But today’s is must-see, too: It’s France vs. Belgium, a game of two explosive offenses. Belgium leads the scoring thus far in the 2018 World Cup, notching 14 goals in its five matches to date, and coming back from an 0-2 deficit to Ja
