Becoming Elizabeth SERIES PREMIERE Sunday, June 12, 9/8c, Starz THE STORY OF the singular Queen Elizabeth I has been told in countless productions via stars such as Bette Davis, Cate Blanchett, Helen Mirren and Judi Dench. But finding a detailed account of the Tudor monarch in her youth—especially one controversial relationship that shaped her—has been much harder. Becoming Elizabeth looks at the future ruler’s life starting at age 14, after the 1547 death of her father, Henry VIII, and the ascension of her younger half-brother Edward (Oliver Zetterström) to King. “[I connected with] her bravery, her energy, her intelligence,” says star Alicia von Rittberg (above). “People expected so much of her.” Both Elizabeth and older half-sister Mary (Romola Garai, The Hour) must maintain good standing in the royal court in…

@TVGMMattRoush I’m a big fan of NBC’s Young Rock, but whether I record the show or watch in real time, it cuts off early and I never get to see the last part. What gives? —Natalie MATT ROUSH: Networks are notorious about letting episodes run a minute or so into the next time period in the hopes viewers won’t flip the channel. These overlaps aren’t always caught by recording devices, so I always suggest either setting extra time or recording the following show to make sure you don’t miss the end. Why this happens when you’re watching in real time I can’t explain. What’s the deal with Star Trek: Picard being planned for only three seasons? I’m all for a show ending before it wears out its welcome, but this seems…

McGregor’s Obi-Wan was a gifted, sarcastic Jedi Master whom fans first met as the saber-wielder played by Alec Guinness in 1977’s Episode IV—A New Hope. “People kept asking if I would…

Barry 10/9c, HBO IT’S BEEN A harrowing third season for bitter theater coach Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler, above). The knowledge that his student, assassin Barry (cocreator Bill Hader), killed Gene’s LAPD detective lover Janice Moss (Paula Newsome) nearly got him offed. Then Barry decided he could earn Gene’s trust back if he booked the long-shunned actor a gig on the TV series Laws of Humanity. Is the plan working? “He is constantly looking over his shoulder,” Winkler says. “He is so befuddled. If I take this job, is my family still safe? Does it maybe mean I’m back in business?” The Emmy winner teases the dark days ahead. Gene is on his own redemption arc, isn’t he? That’s the question of the season: No matter what you’ve done, can you…

Fantasy Island 9/8c, Fox This magical reboot, which returned for its second season May 31 and quickly granted fans the wish of seeing impeccably dressed island host Elena Roarke (Roselyn Sánchez, below) and hunky pilot Javier (John Gabriel Rodriquez) grow closer, is consistently entertaining.

@damianholbrook Cheers to FBI: International for thinking locally and acting globally. Not only is CBS’s internationally shot high-octane procedural TV’s wildest travelogue, but it’s also auditioned actors from every single country in Europe. That’s the kind of authenticity you can’t fake on a Hollywood backlot. Cheers to The Good Doctor for re-admitting Antonia Thomas (left) as Claire Browne. The doc, who departed the ABC drama last season, made a surprise return to St. Bonaventure Hospital in time for Shaun’s (Freddie Highmore) pre-wedding festivities. Cheers to Tom Swift for giving the literary hero a swift kick. Like a MacGyver with swag and fashion sense, The CW’s Nancy Drew spinoff recasts Swift as a gay Black billionaire juggling juicy family drama and hightech conspiracies. Cheers to American Idol’s 20th anniversary gift. Early champs Ruben Studdard and Jordin Sparks…
