The Ragged-Tooth Shark | Justified | Frontline: A Jew Among Germans | Hitler's Children | 24 Hours In A&E | The Killing
The Ragged-Tooth Shark
6pm, Eden
The Ragged-Tooth Shark has a cuddly nickname, the "Raggie", calling to mind Scooby-Doo rather than Jaws. And on the face of it, that's pretty much the only cute thing about it. This is a shark, after all, that eats its own siblings while still in the womb, like something from Hr Giger's nightmares. But Raggies rarely attack humans, except when provoked, as we learn in a programme that aims to enlighten, rather than go for the cheap shocks. Ali Catterall
9pm, 5Usa
"Deputy, that might just be the coolest thing I've ever laid ears on." Even the FBI agents investigating Raylan have to admit the guy has style. The Feds, acting on a dodgy tip-off, start investigating him in full force. But while Raylan might be many things, »

This World: Michael Portillo's Great Euro Crisis
9pm, BBC2
The continuing agonies of the eurozone have at least been good news, of a sort, for those who were never persuaded of the sense of monetary union. Among those was former next Tory leader Michael Portillo, who travels to Greece and Germany to survey attitudes to the euro. In Athens he ponders a return to the drachma, and in Germany he meets taxpayers unsurprisingly wearied of seeing their savings tipped into apparently bottomless pits of other people's debt.

Memento Timeline Infographic. The Memento (2000) Timeline Infographic explains the multiple plot lines of the film if the viewer was having a problem understanding. Memento “chronicles two separate stories of Leonard, an ex-insurance investigator who can no longer build new memories, as he attempts to find the murderer of his wife, which is the last thing he remembers. One story line moves forward in time while the other tells the story backwards revealing more each time.”

Justified, Ep. 3.08: “Watching the Detectives” offers a whole lot of frame-ups

Justified, Season 3, Episode 8: “Watching the Detectives”
Written by Graham Yost
Directed by Peter Werner
Airs Tuesdays at 10pm Et on FX
A curious thing happens on Justified this week: it collides with reality. Sort of.
We’ve now spent 30-some-odd hours enjoying the antics, quips, shootings, and beatdowns handed down by Raylan Givens, sometimes – but not always – in the name of the Us Marshals. For some non-converts, the universe the show has operated in up to now has been too stylized to take seriously. “Watching the Detectives” is almost like a direct riposte to those who can’t get down with the Elmore Leonard aesthetic the show has nailed down so thoroughly: it’s saying, “yes, we can have people look critically at Raylan’s actions, and the fabric of the show will stay intact.” Which, it must be said, it does.
In what feels like the briskest episode in some time, »

Justified Review: Rock and a Hard Place
6 March 2012 8:00 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Each season of Justified has been so outstanding because the writers find different ways to make each episode interesting in its own way.
Whether it's a thrill-a-minute shootout, a game of chess filled with impressive speeches, or in the case of "Watching the Detectives," a simultaneous look into the problems of Raylan's past and certain problems of his future, Justified always entertains.
It was fun watching the onslaught of issues Raylan Givens had to endure during the hour, but it was even more impressive knowing that Robert Quarles was almost entirely responsible for it all.
First, he had Tonin make that phone call - which they knew was being overheard by the FBI - saying that Raylan is dirty, and in bed with Boyd Crowder. Then he straight up murdered Gary on his own front lawn, making the smart decision to use the bullet Raylan had tossed at Duffy earlier in the season. »

Californication Season 5 Episode 10: A Different Kind of Hank Spiral
4 March 2012 11:39 PM, PST | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
In “At The Movies”, filming began on Hank Moody (David Duchocvny) penned, Beverly Hills Cop knockoff script “Santa Monica Cop.”
It was your typical Californication episode, filled with blow jobs, , fanciful situations, Hank mishaps and Charlie Runkle (Evan Handler) buffoonery. For most of the season, we’ve seen a new kind of relationship develop between Hank and Charlie. The two moved in together and have been pushing the boundaries of their bromance with mock-sexual advances towards each other.
It all came to a “head” in “At the Movies. After Eddie Nero (Rob Lowe) got a hold of Tyler’s (Scott Michael Foster) script, Tyler became the hottest up and coming writer in Hollywood. Charlie, trying to rebuild his roster of talent and his good name, wanted to pick up Tyler on his talent roster. Unfortunately, best-bud Hank was against it. Charlie decided not to take a meeting with Tyler in »

Justified, Ep. 3.07: “The Man Behind the Curtain” sets yet more gears in motion

Justified, Season 3, Episode 7: “The Man Behind the Curtain”
Written by Ryan Farley
Directed by Peter Werner
Airs Tuesdays at 10pm Et on FX
Justified‘s third season premiere, “The Gunfighter,” promised a different kind of Justified, one with a greater number of characters and interlocking conflicts, while still retaining the show’s patented blend of danger and humor. Thankfully, that’s turning out to be precisely the case. “The Man Behind the Curtain” drags back a pair of previous-season players that might have slipped our minds, while further expanding the show’s already broad universe. At about the same pace as usual, we’ve come to the point in the season in which the episodic elements are being more or less phased out, and that takes some getting adjusted to, but it’s no less satisfying for the shift. (Unfortunately, that also means no “holy shit!” moments this week »

Californication Season 5 Episode 3 Rundown: Get Ready for Another Hank Downfall & Charlie’s New Super Nanny
22 January 2012 9:04 PM, PST | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
Tom Kapinos got back to basics in Californication Episode 5.3, “Boys & Girls.”
If I could sum up all of Hank Moody’s (David Duchovny) flaws in one all-encompassing statement, it would read: Hank Moody has a knack for screwing up good things.
In “Boys 7 Girls”, Hank finished up Samurai’s (RZA) “Santa Monica Cop” script in what can only be called record time. He was hoping to drop off the script with Sam and hop on a flight back to New York City. However, Sam wanted to read the script before he left and Kali (Meagan Good) needed someone to take her dancing. It was an all too obvious setup, when Sam inevitably asked – or rather ordered – Hank to take Kali out for the night. Sam even gave Hank his car. Really? He told someone who is relatively a stranger to take out his drop-dead-gorgeous girlfriend. Plus, Sam has read Hank »

Californication Review: Man Pound
15 January 2012 8:00 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
As Mike Tyson once said, "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."
Well, Hank Moody's plan to turn down Samurai did not go as scripted, but somehow taking a punch from Peter Berg came across like a fitting moment in this week's "The Way of the Fist." Just like driving a Porsche with both headlights intact seemed out of character for Hank last episode, it didn't really feel like the season was under way until Hank got into fisticuffs with someone.
Despite the fresh shiner, Hank still seemed off his game when he decided against telling Becca about Tyler's extra curricular activities at the club. The overly protective Hank has given Becca numerous reasons to hate him over the years, so why in this case would he care about hurting her one more time if it served to only benefit her in the end?

Californication Season 5 Premiere Keeps the Sex Antics at a Mile High +Moody Karma Bites Back
8 January 2012 10:28 PM, PST | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
The Californication season 5 premiere returned to the familiar formula of Hank (David Duchovny) as the sympathetic, womanizing douchebag that still gets the girl.
Well, sort of.
The writers wasted no time in showing us that Hank was the same guy we met in season one. “JFK –> Lax” started with Hank psyching himself up to breakup with the woman that he has been going out with since the end of last season. While she wants to move things to the next level, Hank would rather just be friends. Apparently, she also let Hank sodomize her.
It was a humorous start to the season. She had a restaurant breakdown worthy of Jerry Maguire, letting everyone know that Hank likes to “fuck people in the ass” – literally.
We then saw a few changes in Hank’s life. He no longer is the rebounding writer. He’s got a new book out based on »
