Beginning today, PBS presents a new "American Masters" documentary about singer, musician and composer Richard Penniman, famously known as Little Richard. The program focuses on both his impact on popular music as he went in and out of rock 'n' roll and on his complicated, sexually shifting private life. It's called "Little Richard: King And Queen Of Rock 'n' Roll." Our TV critic David Bianculli has this review.

The former SNL cast member stars as a somewhat autobiographical, sometimes exaggerated version of himself in this entertaining new series, co-starring Edie Falco and Joe Pesci.

The dialogue is rich throughout White House Plumbers, and so are the performances and characters.

The chemistry feels forced in this 8-part Paramount+ remake of the 1987 classic film. But great performances by Joshua Jackson and Lizzy Caplan might just carry you through Fatal Attraction.

David Cronenberg's 1988 movie Dead Ringers, like the book on which it was based, was all about birth, death, love and power — but mostly from the male point of view. This new six-episode Prime Video adaptation of Dead Ringers preserves all of that. But showrunner Alice Birch, who created this TV version, changes it, too, by giving its female characters all the power.

The third episode of Succession's fourth and final season ripped away the show's center in a brilliant and unexpected move. If you haven't seen it yet, it's time to catch up.

This new season of the Apple TV+ series leans on musicals of the 1960s and '70s. Subtitled "Schmicago!," season 2 is tighter and better-plotted than the original, and also more inventive.

This new series, based on Richard Russo's 1997 novel Straight Man, stars Odenkirk as a tenured English professor who struggles to navigate the tiny fiefdoms and giant egos of academia.
