    Blackly funny and bleakly grim, streaked with rage and suffused with insight, HBO's My Trip to Al-Qaeda is Lawrence Wright's account of the five years he spent researching and writing a book on Islamic fundamentalism that that would win him a Pulitzer Prize and an FBI interrogation. It will make you heartsick, and it will make you want to scream. It will make you wonder how the hell we are ever going to extricate ourselves from this death match with Islamic jihad. And, mostly, it will transfix you.

    If you're looking for intimate, loving endearments and constant reassurance that nothing matters more than family, you might want to check out Sons of Anarchy. This series, by the way, features some of the ugliest sustained brutality on television. As the FX drama kicks off its third season, it keeps those two seemingly incompatible elements in balance and even harmony, a masterful feat that helps explain why Sons of Anarchy has become one of the most compelling shows on television.

    Here, on the cusp of fall, I bring glad tidings! At long last, I have a favorite crime show, sort of: Terriers, a funny and gripping new dramedy debuting Wednesday night on FX, is a procedural for those of us who think Law & Order feels like jury duty. It even stars people who look like some of us, as opposed to people who look like fashion models. It's effortlessly smart, easy to like and exciting to follow.

    The brisk pace, the mostly superb selection of winners and the classy presentation of the 62nd annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday did a good job of restoring faith, apparently a goal of the republic at the moment. Faith is alive and well! This Emmy telecast cemented our belief in television and the medium's enduring ability to reinvent itself.

    Ron Shelton’s hour-long Jordan Rides the Bus on ESPN's 30 for 30 is a postcard of a film, minor but exceedingly well made. It revisits Michael Jordan’s single season of professional baseball, when he walked away from basketball after winning a third consecutive championship and spent the summer and fall of 1994 learning how to hit a changeup.
