@TVGMMattRoush I am giving Evil a chance because CBS has created some great dramas when it’s gone beyond the procedural model (The Good Wife, Person of Interest), and I’ll watch anything with Michael Emerson. But what moron came up with the title? The show plays like a cross between The X-Files and a panel discussion on EWTN. I see interesting possibilities, but what message is that title trying to send? —Rick MATT ROUSH: Ambiguity, maybe? Executive producers Robert and Michelle King are taking a long view of the nature of evil in many manifestations, not just demonic, but in society at large, in social media—or recently, and more playfully, in a hacked digital assistant. Evil is designed to generate debate about matters of faith, the supernatural and science, and I…

WHEN AMC’S HIT drama Breaking Bad ended in 2013, drug lord Walter White (Bryan Cranston) was dead and his cohort Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul, below) had escaped imprisonment by white supremacists and was driving off to (supposed) safety. Over the years, series creator Vince Gilligan found himself wondering if Jesse could have encountered a different fate: “What if he went around the corner and the cops were there?” Gilligan asks. The answer to that question, and Jesse’s continuing journey (“He’s trying desperately to get out of town,” Gilligan says), can be found in the movie El Camino (now streaming on Netflix; it will air on AMC in 2020), which picks up right where the drama left off. Gilligan talks about revisiting the Bad world. We see Jesse’s friends Skinny Pete…

SUPER LOVE Thank you for celebrating Supernatural [October 14]! Fifteen years is a milestone. Glad to see y’all appreciate it almost as much as the “SPN Family.” —Penny NO COMMENT-ARY Whose bright idea was it for Madam Secretary to have the same storyline we have seen on the news ad nauseam over the last three years? I watch TV to escape reality, not relive it. Please kill this storyline ASAP and give us something inspirational. —Debra RIP, LUKE I watched Riverdale [October 9], and the tribute to Luke Perry was beautiful.

There was no literal fire to put out, but she did inform him that the fire department was dealing with a false alarm at one of the locations. The busy 2018 Food Network Star winner and new dad also joins Alex Guarnaschelli and Carla Hall to judge this year’s Ultimate Thanksgiving Challenge. What got you into this field?

Sundays, 9/8c, HBO MASKS ARE ALL the rage in HBO’s mesmerizing, mystifying and overstuffed fantasia inspired by the 1980s cult comic Watchmen. Bad guys wear them—so do cops and costumed vigilantes—and it’s not always clear just who the heroes are. Visionary writer-producer Damon Lindelof (Lost, The Leftovers) chose not to remake the influential graphic novel but to use it as canon for a sprawling and disturbing new fable set 30-plus years later. (I now know how some Game of Thrones viewers felt diving into that complex world lacking intimate details of the dense mythology.) Luckily, the present-day incarnation of Watchmen has a vivid emotional center in Oscar and Emmy winner Regina King as Angela Abar, a Tulsa detective who masquerades as Sister Night. She’s a fearless ninja when duty calls—which…

FIRE IN PARADISE DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE FRIDAY, NOV. 1 The northern California town of Paradise was once mainly known for its proximity to the Sierra Nevada mountains and charming tourist spots like the Gold Nugget Museum.

LOVE IT! Cheers to 9-1-1 for its first-rate first-responder friendship. The real heroes of Fox’s rescue drama are the writers who’ve taken LAFD hunks Buck (Oliver Stark, top) and Eddie (Ryan Guzman) from foes to bros.
