HERO VIBES I was so excited to see your article on Derrick Campana and his traveling pet prosthetic trailer [The Wizard of Paws, “What’s Worth Watching,” April 26 issue, page 15]. We met Campana seven years ago when we had an 8-week-old puppy who was born without a paw. He has made her prosthetics ever since. He is truly a warm, caring and loving individual, and the animal kingdom is lucky to have him. —Cathy DETECTING GREATNESS HBO has a winner with Mare of Easttown! I felt like I was with Mare [played by Kate Winslet] through the whole show. Real family, real people, real situations. Looking forward to more. —Carol HI-YEAH!

A streaming device is your living room’s secret weapon. Plug in any of these sticks to your television—you just need an HDMI port and Wi-Fi—and it’ll immediately give you many more choices for what to watch and crisper sound and picture, all for a relatively nice price. But which product makes sense for your needs? We outline our top four options below. The Best Got Better We love the Roku Streaming Stick+ because it keeps building on the company’s solid reputation for quality. It’s affordable ($50) and offers entrée to Hulu, Netflix, HBO Max and many more apps. Its voice control capability could be better, but its 4K HDR compatibility (most TVs nowadays are 4K) puts picture first, and this stick has been made to last. Top Voice Command Why…

Death & Nightingales SERIES PREMIERE Sunday, May 16, 10/9c, Starz HOW MUCH CAN happen in a 24-hour period? This three-part Irish drama—a 2018 adaptation of Eugene McCabe’s devastating novel—endeavors to find out as forces collide on Beth Winters’ 23rd birthday to form a perfect storm.

The first two episodes are a slow burn as events are set in…

TUESDAY, MAY 18 BRITISH DRAMA In their quest to apprehend corrupt police officials, Line of Duty’s intrepid detectives have always had each other’s backs. But in Season 6 of the electrifying crime thriller, Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) has left the AC-12 unit, which hasn’t recovered from allegations against department head Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar). “It’s hard for them to shake it off,” explains creator Jed Mercurio (Bodyguard). “Kate feels that anti-corruption has become tainted and she needs to move on.” Now she’s working with Detective Chief Inspector Joanne Davidson (Kelly Macdonald, near left, with McClure), who may not be thoroughly investigating a journalist’s murder. That prompts Steve Arnott (Martin Compston), Kate’s former anticorruption colleague, to come a-calling. But Jo’s motives don’t seem as clear-cut as those of some of AC-12’s…

@TVGMMattRoush Watching the new Law & Order: Organized Crime spinoff, I was more thrilled by the opening credits than the show itself. While watching this glum revenge story, I kept thinking, why isn’t Christopher Meloni back on Law & Order: SVU? The fans have been obsessed with this idea for a decade, so why not honor the loyalists? Adding SVU star Mariska Hargitay in a guest arc just adds to the tease. Reuniting them could add another decade to the never-ending mothership. —Liam MATT ROUSH: Maybe so, but neither the star nor exec producer Dick Wolf was interested in repeating themselves. In our cover story interview with Meloni (“Stabler’s Law,” March 29), he said what drew him back to the Law & Order world was “the idea of a recognizable…

Cheers to The Conners for its sobering take on substance abuse. On the April 21 episode of ABC’s rebooted reboot, Becky (Lecy Goranson, left, with John Goodman) came clean at rehab that she’d been using booze to deal with the motorcycle death of her husband Mark (late Roseanne regular Glenn Quinn). Her breakdown broke our hearts, but it also allowed Goranson to raise her game.…

AVAILABLE NOW ORIGINAL DOCUSERIES Long after New Yorker David Berkowitz, the 1970s serial killer known as Son of Sam, was convicted, late journalist Maury Terry remained certain he was part of a satanic cult and didn’t act alone. Here are highlights from this new four-part series, which chronicles his investigation. 1. A neighbor may have helped him… In a letter he sent to a New York journalist before his capture, Berkowitz referenced “John Wheaties.” Berkowitz had a neighbor named John Wheat Carr, who, unlike Berkowitz, resembled police sketches of the killer. What’s more, Carr’s father was Sam, the owner of the dog Berkowitz claimed gave him orders to kill. 2. …and a tunnel connected their homes in Yonkers. Discovered in the old aqueduct: murdered dogs—and satanic symbols. 3. An odd…
