Escape at Dannemora

There hasn’t been a great prison break series since, well, Prison Break. Ben Stiller (of all people) ends the drought, directing this terrifically acted eight-parter based on a 2015 real-life escape from an upstate New York facility. Benicio del Toro and Paul Dano co-star as inmates whose escape plot involves seducing a prison employee, played by a barely recognizable Patricia Arquette. Sunday, Nov. 18, at 10 p.m., Showtime
