Top pick
Impeachment: American Crime Story (FX, 10 p.m.): Ines Bellina was disappointed by last week’s episode, which spent too much time in the president’s head: “The audience has spent the bulk of the season in the universes of Paula Jones, Linda Tripp, and Monica Lewinsky. With the latter, there has been a tremendous effort to endear her to us. This is the space we are invested in. So why distract us with Clinton breaking a sweat? ’Cause what we get isn’t a portrait of a complicated man in a political conspiracy. We get Bill Clinton, Your Worst Boyfriend From Your Twenties, weaponizing the ‘Bitches Be Crazy’ defense wherever he goes.” Edie Falco’s Hillary Clinton also barely gets her time to shine after staying mostly offscreen for most of the episode. But it looks like she finally takes the spotlight in tonight’s episode 8.
