THE WRITERS' ROOM By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: Refreshingly, this new series from Sundance, hosted by Jim Rash and focusing each week TV writers from a different current series, is more informed discussion than fan fest. Where, say, AMC’s The Talking Dead feels more like a small-screen Comic-Con, this show is hosted by Community actor Jim Rash, who won an Oscar for writing The Descendants. Jess Cagle from Entertainment Weekly comes in at the end with a few final questions, but Rash holds court nicely throughout. The on

UNFORGETTABLE By David Bianculli

SERIES RETURN: Yet another series that has returned from the dead, this Poppy Montgomery crime series was canceled by CBS, then eventually given a reprieve, and orders for new episodes, once its global popularity was factored in and costs were amortized and adjusted.

THE KILLING By David Bianculli

This is the show’s penultimate installment of the season. And sure enough, we’re at the point where both cops realize they’ve made terrible mistakes in judgment, and where we’re still supposed to be confused about the identity of the actual killer.
