Try to imagine Dame Judi Dench — all elegant wardrobe and perfect platinum pixie — gleefully jamming rolls of bathroom tissue down a hotel commode. Or German Chancellor Angela Merkel as a gossipy, singing “total hottie frau.” Or Dame Maggie Smith auditioning for a sci-fi spectacle (“I believe there is a special name for Star Trek fans: Idiots.”). If you’re having some trouble — or even if you aren’t — let Tracey Ullman do the job for you. The 56-year-old Brit, who became a sensation in the late 80s on Fox’s Emmy-showered The Tracey Ullman Show, returns to HBO tonight as the network debuts her […]

Based on the 1987 novel by Douglas Adams — the same guy who brought you The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — this cheeky dramedy stars Wood (Wilfred) as lovable loser Todd Brotzman, a bellman who lands in the middle of a bizarre murder investigation helmed by the highly unusual titular character, played by Penny Dreadful’s Samuel Barnett. Blessed with psychic abilities that make him suspect everything is connected — and the people skills of a hyperactive first-grader — Gently also believes he and Brotzman were cosmically destined to […]
Ozzie Graham is seeing things. Well, one thing, really. A deer — just like the one he smacked with his car outside of teensy Beacon, N.Y. Only the buck didn’t stop there. He randomly reappears. And sometimes multiplies. And sometimes talks. The situation leaves crack reporter Ozzie (played with delicious deadpan by The Daily Show’s Wyatt Cenac) relegated to writing click-bait one-offs while he gets over his … weirdness … from the crash. And, thus, lands him back in Beacon to check out the members of Starcrossed, a support group for folks who believe they’ve had alien encounters. But — […]
