It’s been a spell since I saw tonight’s Elfman-infused episode of TV’s most-improved show, “Fear The Walking Dead,” so I can’t quite remember if Lennie James is in it. If Lennie James is in it, he’s not in it much. AMC says of “Another Day in the Diamond”:
A troubled survivor finds allies in an unexpected place. Meanwhile, the life Madison has fought to build comes under threat.
“I look like an anti-semitic propaganda cartoon.” On tonight’s “Silicon Valley,” Adrien Grenier is spoken of as the actor from the 12-year-old movie “The Devil Wears Prada,” and not the star of HBO’s “Entourage.” Because HBO’s “Entourage” does not exist in the “Silicon Valley” universe? HBO says of “Facial Recognition”:
Overshadowed by Jared in an on-camera interview, Richard's confidence wavers further when Laurie and Monica force him to work with Eklow, a new artificial-intelligence company. Gilfoyle worries about the prospect of introducing AI into Pied Piper. Dinesh makes Jared self-conscious ahead of a second interview. Gavin questions his future beyond Hooli.
On tonight’s excellent, exciting and expensive-looking “Homeland,” a major character we’ve not seen since season six returns to have a chat with Dylan Baker’s Sen. Sam Paley. (Maybe there’s still a shot we’ll see what Frannie’s older siblings are up to.) It’s a big episodes for Jeff Bridges’ big brother Beau. Oh, and there’s Sandrine Holt in swimwear. Showtime says of “All In”:
Saul's mission is a go. The clock ticks on the Keane administration.
“No Fudgie?” Tonight’s “Billions” begins with very, very cute bunnies. The installment ends with Bunnymen and it turns into a giant episode for Axe Capital CIO Taylor Mason. Showtime says of “Flaw in the Death Star”:
Axe and Chuck fight for the loyalty of the same witness. Taylor travels to Silicon Valley to explore new business opportunities. Dollar Bill plans a big short position on a pharmaceutical company stock.
Fox says of “The Blob”:
A thermal heat detector reveals a potential sign of life outside of the Zihuatanejo village, but Tandy doesn't want the group to split up to go investigate. Meanwhile, Todd and Erica have trouble seeing eye-to-eye.
Starz says of “Judgment Day”:
Pablo's role as Brujo Especiale has him straddle the worlds of good and evil to keep the rift open for Ash to save Brandy and Kelly, but they run into a snag. Ruby and Kaya faceoff with The Dark One.
Showtime says of “TBA”:
Alex Wagner and John Heilemann sit down with lawyer Alan Dershowitz as they discuss President Trump's tweets, James Comey's interactions with the President, and the importance of non-partisan civil liberties cases.
Premiering or returning tonight:
Into The Badlands (AMC) April 22
Westworld (HBO) April 22
Last week’s “The Walking Dead’s” finale was the second-lowest-rated “Walking Dead” finale in the series’ history, but it nearly tied the previous Tuesday’s episode of TV’s top-rated series, “Roseanne.”
