Must-See TV was a phrase created, long ago, specifically to refer to NBC’s powerhouse NBC Thursday night lineup – exemplified by one mid-Eighties TV season, when NBC’s schedule that night began with The Cosby Show and Family Ties, continued with Cheers and The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, and concluded with L.A Law. All these years later, NBC still offers Must-See TV, but it’s limited to one brilliant show: Michael Schur’s The Good Place, which continues to both amuse and amaze in equal, generous proportions. Last week’s episode ended with the clock running out on the grand experiment to try and save mankind. And this week, Michael and his charges face the music, and the judge, and even the manager of The Bad Place, to see whether their efforts were too little and too late… or, indeed, managed to justify the existence of mankind. (And womankind.) And don’t get too complacent: Tonight’s episode title is called “The Funeral to End All Funerals.”

Parts 3 and 4. This documentary miniseries continues, revisiting the 1986 murder of Jennifer Levin by “Preppy Murder” strangler and murderer Robert Chambers. Some of the recreated images are a bit heavy-handed, but the new interviews, and the increased scrutiny on the media as well as the defense attorney strategy, make this a worthwhile nonfiction examination.

During an exorcism, a woman confesses to murder. The question is, and it’s one the team has to answer, is she lying? A killer? Or possessed? Or some combination of all three?
