THE BRINK
August 9, 2015  | By David Bianculli

HBO, 11:00 p.m. ET

 
During last week’s episodes, all of this show’s primary characters appeared to have wrestled victory from the jaws of defeat – but at the very end of the episode, those jaws had appeared to suddenly clamp shut. Tim Robbin’s Secretary of State watched a live ops video feed helplessly, and furiously, as the wrong leader was bombed by U.S. forces in Pakistan – and that was only the most serious misstep facing this dark comedy’s protagonists by the end of the episode. This week, it’s war – or, at least, the brink of it. Note the later start time.
