What We’re Watching Right Now

What We’re Watching Tonight
J.K. Rowling’s first post-Harry Potter novel, “The Casual Vacancy” is getting a small screen adaptation in mini-series form (HBO, 8 EST). Look out for a clever look at the inner workings of small-town British politics, with focuses on the darkness that lurks underneath. Despite the name, it is not, in fact, all that caj.
