The Plot Against America (HBO, 9 p.m.): In the HBO series’ previous episode, the characters deal with the aftermath of fear and terror of the 1940 election. Noel Murray describes it thusly: “I have no idea whether David Simon and Ed Burns were inspired to bring Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America to television due to the uncanny similarities between the 1940 presidential race in the book and what happened in the real world in 2016. But there’s definitely a sense of passion and purpose to the miniseries’ second episode, which deals most directly with the run-up to election night. ‘Part 2’ isn’t just a cockeyed nostalgia-piece from an alternate timeline. It’s saying something.”
