Must-see TV? November has plenty of possibilities

whim and will — are worth noting: Annette Shepherd (Diane Lane) and Bill Shepherd (Greg Kinnear).

• "Outlander" (Starz, Nov. 4, 8 p.m.) In Season 4, Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) are back in each other’s arms — and, this time, in 18th-century North Carolina. You’ll get to know much more about Claire’s daughter, Brianna (Sophie Skelton) — left back in 1960s Boston — and about Jamie’s tough-minded Aunt Jocasta (Maria Doyle Kennedy). A side note: Parts of this season are set in Colonial North Carolina, but all the American scenes were filmed in Scotland.

• "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" (CNN, Nov. 11, 9 p.m.): Bourdain’s remarkable series ends on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where he visits some legendary habitues (Richard Hell, Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, Lydia Lunch, Fab 5 Freddy among them) and, of course. eateries, too. These last few episodes have aired without Bourdain’s signature narration. He took his own life in June.

• "Sally4Ever" (HBO, Nov. 11, 10:30 p.m.) The scabrous, ribald comedy from British comedianwriter Julia Davis (“Nighty Night”) centers on dear, kind Sally (Catherine Shepherd), who falls for wild child actress-singer-authorpoet Emma (Davis).

• "The Kominsky Method" (Neflix, beginning Nov. 16): Chuck Lorre (“The Big Bang Theory,” et al.) joins Netflix with this 10-part comedy about Sandy Kominsky (Michael Douglas), a former actor turned acting coach, and his agent friend, Norman (Alan Arkin.) One fine day, Lisa (Nancy Travis) — a recent divorcee — decides that acting lessons might just be the perfect diversion.

• "The Little Drummer Girl" (AMC, Nov. 19, 9 p.m.): The six-parter, based on the 1983 John le Carre novel, comes from the folks who brought us the memorable adaptation of le Carre’s “The Night Manager.” It focuses on Israeli spy Kurtz (Michael Shannon) and a young British actress, Charlie (Florence Pugh), who, while on vacation in Greece, meets the mysterious Becker (Alexander Skarsgard). Charlie ultimately becomes a double agent, for both the Israelis and Palestinians. The series is directed by South Korean Park Chanwook, a Cannes Grand Prix winner for the 2003 thriller “Oldboy.”

• "Escape at Dannemora" (Showtime, Nov. 18, 10 p.m.): The eight-parter recounts the June 6, 2015, escape of Richard Matt and David Sweat from the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, and the subsequent manhunt. What’s notable is the cast: Benicio Del Toro (Matt), Patricia Arquette (Tilly Mitchell, a prison worker who helped them escape), and Paul Dano (Sweat). Oh, and the director: Ben Stiller.
