[Politico, 9/5/2019] Most competent criminal Yusuke Taniguchi, 34, a shop- ping mall clerk in Koto City, Japan, was arrested earlier this year for using his superpower — a photographic memory — for apparent evil. According to police, Taniguchi was able to memorize more than 1,300 num- bers from credit cards as people used them at his shop register, SoraNews reported. He admitted to investigators that he would remember the name, card num- ber, expiration date and security code and then write the infor- mation down as the customer walked away, later using the accounts to make online pur- chases of items he would then sell. Police, who tracked him to his address by using orders for two expensive handbags, found a notebook with hundreds of accounts listed. [SoraNews, 9/7/2019] "" Question: Which new fall season shows are on your must-watch list? —Amy Matt Roush: Let me use this question as an opportunity to guide you toward TV Guide Magazine's classic Fall Pre- view issue (currently on sale), which runs down the new series premier- ing on network, cable and streaming in the next months. In my column, I provide an overview of the new shows — focusing on the characters — that have jumped out at me so far. While I'm sure there are even more discov- eries to come, my short list includes Walton Goggins' surprisingly charm- ing star turn in the CBS comedy "e Unicorn," Cobie Smulders' tough gal in "Stumptown" for ABC, Bradley Whitford pulling a curmudgeonly Mr. Holland in NBC's delightful "Perfect Harmony," and I'm very intrigued by CBS's big swing in supernatural mys- tery with "Evil," from the creators of "e Good Wife." (Michael Emerson oozes evil as that show's antagonist.) In streaming, there's a nifty Paul Rudd double act in the cloning fantasy- comedy "Living With Yourself" on Netflix, Amazon's star-driven anthol- ogy "Modern Love," and the Apple TV+ behind-the-scenes TV drama e Morning Show. Premium cable high- lights include HBO's bold reinterpre- tation of Watchmen and an adaptation of the fantasy. "His Dark Materials," and Forest Whitaker as a 1960s mob boss in "Godfather of Harlem" for Epix.
