Scenes From A Marriage (HBO, 9 p.m., series finale): Hagai Levi and Amy Herzog’s adaptation of the Ingmar Bergman miniseries draws to a close tonight with “In The Middle Of The Night, In A Dark House, Somewhere In The World.” Chris Feil hasn’t always been optimistic about the endpoint of Oscar Isaac’s Jonathan and Jessica Chastain’s Mira together, but found the penultimate episode (which includes that scene) to be the strongest of the series to date. He’ll resume his recapping duties one last time to break down the series finale.
Buried (Showtime, 9 p.m.): Here’s Robyn Pennacchia on the four-part docuseries about the “memory wars”: “[Overall], Buried is balanced and thorough, and not interested in injecting flashiness, à la docuseries like Tiger King. Anyone watching it who is unfamiliar with the story is going to vacillate between believing the memories were real or not, and may even come out of it not knowing what to believe—which is exactly as it should be with a case like this. It would have been easy to go at this topic from either side, with a distinct point-of-view. But because [the filmmakers] chose not to do that, the most convincing arguments are able to stand out on their own.”
