BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Episode 9. Tonight’s installment is titled “A Disrespectful Loyalty,” and is loaded with drama, unexpected reveals, and emotional gut punches. That may sound like I’m issuing a warning, but quite the contrary. This episode covers from May 1970 to March 1973, and includes both POWs finally returning from Vietnam after years of brutal captivity – and, at home, the presidential cancer known as Watergate. For a full review of tonight’s episode, see Alex Strachan’s TV That Matters. Check local listings.

SURVIVOR: HEROES VS. HEALERS VS. HUSTLERS

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

CYCLE PREMIERE: This is not a recommendation. This is the 35^th different contest for Survivor, and the desperation to find new ways to repackage the same old product no longer is wearing thin. It’s worn straight through. The competition for this new 2017 edition is set in Fiji, and the three teams starting out pitted against one another are, as the title suggests, heroes, healers and hustlers. If this alliterative approach to Survivor continues, I’ll tune back in for Vixens vs. Virgins vs. Vegans. But until then, you can pretty much count me out.

EMPIRE

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: This is Season 4 for Empire. If you remember what happened in the cliffhanger last season, you’re in better shape than Lucious (Terrence Howard), who’s still suffering from amnesia. And Cookie (Taraji P. Henson sees his condition as she sees just about everything else: as an opportunity.

MR. MERCEDES

AT&T Audience Network, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight, Brady (Harry Treadaway) gets even more wound up, angry and determined. Considering that, in the past, he’s killed people by driving his car into a crowd of helpless victims, that’s a dangerous escalation indeed.

SEAL TEAM

CBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: The photography for this new CBS series pilot is way above average – but it’s not uncommon for a production company to invest lots of money in a pilot to sell it, then pull back both financially and artistically once the series begins. What’s most trustworthy about this series, for now, is the presence of David Boreanaz as the star. This guy has lived on TV, with one successful series after another, since co-starring in the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 1997. During and after Buffy, he starred in his own spinoff, Angel, which lasted from 1999 to 2004. The next season, he was back with Bones, which ran until the end of last season – 12 years of another successful series. And now, after a few months to recharge, he’s back with SEAL Team. Expect his fourth hit in a row – especially since CBS can promote this show heavily, and has, in such proudly militant series as NCIS. For full reviews, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower and Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes.

LIAR

Sundance, 10:00 p.m. ET

MINISERIES PREMIERE: This six-part British miniseries import stars Joanna Froggatt, who engendered such love and sympathy as lady’s maid Anna Bates on PBS’s Downton Abbey. Here, she plays a schoolteacher who accepts a date with a handsome doctor, played by Ioan Gruffudd, then awakens convinced that she was raped. Liar begins as a he-said, she-said drama, but eventually shifts to something more mysterious.
