What’s on TV Monday: ‘The Good Doctor’ and ‘The Schouwendam 12’ - The New York Times

THE GOOD DOCTOR 10 p.m. on ABC. In the second part of the season finale, the doctors at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital continue to respond to the major earthquake that rocked their city. The crisis is testing their ingenuity and pushing their personal issues to the surface. Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore), the protagonist of the series, is still reeling from his latest rejection by Lea (Paige Spara), who cited Shaun’s autism as a reason not to pursue a romantic relationship with him. Undeterred, he revealed in the last episode that he hadn’t lost hope. Lea, who was trapped after the earthquake hit and eventually rescued, overheard Shaun’s comments and responded emotionally. But before they could address them, an aftershock left Shaun stranded with a patient in the flooding basement of a collapsed building.

THE SCHOUWENDAM 12 Stream on Acorn TV. The second installment of Lex Passchier and Martin van Steijn’s “The 12” anthology series focuses on a Dutch village haunted by the unsolved disappearance of two teenagers in 1995. This mystery is reignited when a man in his 40s who bears a striking resemblance to Olaf, one of the missing teens, shows up in Schouwendam. The new arrival claims to not know his own identity. Prodded by the suspicions of the villagers, he starts to look into his connection to the lost Olaf in a bid to recover his memory. This follow-up to “The Oldenheim 12” is linked to its predecessor by its shared focus on dark underbelly of small-town life.

TIP TOP (2014) Stream on Mubi. Rent on Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and YouTube. This film by Serge Bozon is two parts deadpan farce, one part conceptual mystery. Adapted from a novel of the same name by Bill James, it blends features of screwball comedy and film noir to reflect on the legacy of French colonialism and contemporary sexual mores. Isabelle Huppert and Sandrine Kiberlain star as Internal Affairs investigators charged with determining whether or not the police were involved in the murder of an Algerian informant. Both sleuths have secrets of their own. Sally (Kiberlain) is a compulsive voyeur who was demoted because of her proclivities, and Esther (Huppert) has a penchant for sadomasochism.

THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG (1964) Stream on the Criterion Channel. Rent on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes and YouTube. In this movie, Jacques Demy manages to synthesize the emotional earnestness of the American musical with the adventurous cinematic spirit that was circulating among younger French filmmakers during the 1950s and ’60s. Bursting with color, sung throughout and driven by Michel Legrand’s music, it tells the tragic love story of a young couple torn apart by the Algerian War. Before he’s drafted to fight, Guy (Nino Castelnuovo) and Geneviève (Catherine Deneuve) make plans to marry. When their wartime correspondence lags, a pregnant Geneviève accepts a marriage proposal from a kind and wealthy suitor at the urging of her mother. After returning to civilian life and learning of Geneviève’s decision, Guy also tries to move on.
