After skipping out on two of the last three albums to work on his own solo material, Animal Collective member Deakin (Josh Dibb) released his long-gestating debut, “Sleep Cycle.” While Deakin has previously taken the vocal and songwriting lead on the underwhelming “Centipede Hz” track, “Wide Eyed,” “Sleep Cycle” seems to come out of nowhere as one of the strongest of the band’s many side projects.

Throughout 11 seasons, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” has never taken on the topic of St. Patrick’s day, but “Charlie Catches a Leprechaun” is well worth the wait. This season has struggled with originality, but the latest episode is just what the show needed.

2012’s hectic “Centipede Hz” seemed to be a reaction to Animal Collective’s most accessible album, “Merriweather Post Pavilion.” The psychedelic indie rock band’s latest LP, “Painting With,” is a counter-movement to a much more minimalistic sound.

In its latest episode, “It’s Always Sunny” showcased many of the bizarre side characters who have largely been absent since the end of the ninth season.

In the same vein as last season’s “Charlie Work,” this week, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” focused on the inner life of the gang’s most disgusting and depraved member: Frank (Danny DeVito). Just as “Charlie Work” used a unique filming style with long continuous shots, “Being Frank” takes a similarly non-traditional route by showing the full episode from Frank’s perspective.

The Coen Brothers’ latest effort, “Hail, Caesar!” is a callback to 1950s cinema that revolves around a day in the life of Hollywood fixer Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin). While the stakes aren’t quite as life or death as in other Coen Brothers’ films, the central thread revolves around Mannix trying to rescue Baird Whitlock (George Clooney), the kidnapped star of the movie’s namesake, while also contemplating his own career options. Also front and center is the shoehorned cowboy actor, Hobie Doyle (Alden Ehrenreich), as he reluctantly branches out into more serious cinema and develops into the main hero of the film.

As was with the first few episodes of season 11, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” brings back old jokes in its fourth episode, “Dee Made a Smut Film.” While the episode has its moments, overall it is a weak point for the season thus far.

The second season of the TV series “Fargo” moved on — to the audience’s anticipation — from the source material offered by the movie. The first season, by no means a shot-for-shot remake, had the benefit of borrowing heavily from the film, especially from its central characters. Over the course of the season, protagonist Molly Solverson (Allison Tolmon) increasingly resembled the film’s pregnant protagonist, Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand), and pathetic insurance salesman Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman) was a clear play on the film’s car salesman, Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy). Where the first season excelled in its original elements, especially Billy Bob Thornton’s Lorne Malvo, the second season benefits from plunging head into original territory.

After most of the violence played out in last week’s penultimate episode of “Fargo,” the finale takes a much quieter approach, giving each character a satisfying wrap-up. Aside from some initial fallout — which quickly diffused — from the previous episode’s shootout, the episode circles back to the season’s ongoing themes. Each of the main characters says their piece, and the focus quickly shifts back to Lou’s (Patrick Wilson) family life, specifically his wife Betsy (Cristin Milioti) and her struggle with cancer.

After the slower, character-driven episodes of the last two weeks, the ninth episode, “The Castle,” features the climactic violence that has been building all season. The episode combines a tense, semi-realistic crime narrative with a bizarre deus ex machina, as the season’s recurring alien motif finally comes to a head.

After appearing only briefly in the last episode, Ed (Jesse Plemons), Peggy (Kirsten Dunst), Dodd (Jeffrey Donovan) and Hanzee (Zahn McClarnon) catch viewers up on their recent antics in the newest episode of “Fargo.” Much like the previous week’s, this character-driven episode takes a breather and anticipates the building conflict that will play out over the season’s final two installments.

More than three years after the release of “Centipede Hz” in 2012, Animal Collective gave the first taste of their upcoming tenth LP, “Painting With.” While the album won’t be released until Feb. 19, preview track “FloriDada” gives a strong sense of what’s to come.

In the seventh episode of “Fargo,” “Did you do this? No, you did it!” the show takes a bit of a breather after the high tension of the last few episodes. While it’s perhaps unfair to call an episode with multiple character deaths and flashes of mob violence slow, the bulk of the run time focused more on character development.

Last week, “Fargo” continued with another tense episode in “Rhinoceros.” Just like the first season, which started with a slow build-up before kicking into gear, “Fargo” has picked up the pace significantly in the past few weeks. Last week showed a little of everyone in the show, including characters like Noreen with lesser screen time. This episode devoted the bulk of its time to a few prolonged standoffs.
