Vinyl
Sunday at 9 p.m. on HBO
Mick Jagger and Martin Scors-
ese are among the executive
producers of this new drama
series set inside the recording
industry, primarily as viewed
by Richie Finestra (Bobby Can-
navale), founder of American
Century Records. The “Pilot”
opens in 1973 New York, where
Richie mulls selling his struggling
company to a German label.
That deal is complicated by an
assortment of temperamental
artists and managers, however.
Olivia Wilde, Andrew Dice
Clay, Ato Essandoh and Juno
Temple also star.
Better Call Saul
Monday at 10 p.m. on AMC
The low-key prequel to “Break-
ing Bad” returns for Season 2,
having bagged seven Emmy
nods for its first go-around,
including best actor (Bob
Odenkirk), best supporting ac-
tor (Jonathan Banks) and best
drama series. As before, the pri-
mary focus is a character study
of decent-guy attorney Jimmy
McGill (Odenkirk) and how cir-
cumstances transformed him into
the anything-for-a-buck shyster
who works under the name Saul
Goodman. Rhea Seehorn also
stars.
