We’re dealing with the calm before the Fall TV storm, but there’s stuff out there if you know where to look. We do.
BRAD’S PICK:
Snowfall [FX, 10p]
As Franklin faves the consequences of his actions, Lucia must make sacrifices of her own to save Gustavo. Just another day in the ’80s crack trade.
JASON’S PICK:
Dead Lucky [Sundance Now]
Dark detective dramas are like catnip to me, and this Aussie import stars Rachel Griffiths of Six Feet Under fame.
KATHERINE’S PICK:
Claudine [TCM, 8p]
Diahann Carroll stars as a single mother of six receiving government assistance who finds love with James Earl Jones, a garbage collector. Carroll was nominated for an Oscar; promotional materials call the film, “A heart and soul comedy, can you dig it?” so our mileage may vary.
