In February, Oliver returned for a new season of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on HBO, and Stewart came back to host The Daily Show on Mondays. Both prove that they're the best at what they do.

CBS presents the latest drama series from Michelle and Robert King, creators of "The Good Wife" and its spinoff series "The Good Fight." Their newest weekly series, episodes of which will stream the next day on Paramount+, is yet another extension of the franchise. It's called "Elsbeth," and it stars Carrie Preston in the role she played in both those other series - eccentric but effective attorney Elsbeth Tascioni. But this time, Elsbeth has a new job, and she's in a new city. Our TV critic, David Bianculli, has this review.

The 1980 NBC miniseries "Shogun" was one of the most highly acclaimed dramas at the height of the miniseries era. It starred Richard Chamberlain as an English sailor finding himself in Japan in 1600. Now a new adaptation, also based on the same book by James Clavell, comes to television in a 10-part miniseries premiering today on FX. It starts streaming on Hulu tomorrow.
