BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CW, 9:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This new CW horror-tinged-with-comedy series is done with mirrors: It’s about a show within a show, both called Cult, in which actors play actors playing killers and victims, as well as, in some cases, those very killers and victims. Characters on one show watch the other show to find clues, then follow them. It’s all very meta – but, in the pilot at least, it’s not very probable or compelling. Even so, Cult, like the show-within-a-show called Cult, has its fans – including our own Eric Gould, who writes a full-length review for Cold Light Reader.
 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:30 p.m. ET

All by itself, this series hasn’t proven quite enticing enough to recommend – but tonight, it gets a little help, in the form of guest star Seth Rogen. He plays a man from Mindy's past – actually, the grown-up version of a boy from her past, the first one she ever kissed. At summer camp.
 
  
 
 

TCM, 9:30 p.m. ET

It’s getting near the end of TCM’s 31-day salute to the Oscars, and tonight it’s time to show the film that won the first Best Movie Oscar ever presented. It’s 1927’s Wings, directed by William A. Wellman, the story of two WWI pilots in love with the same woman. The midair action sequences dazzled audiences at the time – but I remain more dazzled by Clara Bow, who plays the female part of this particular romantic triangle.
 
  
 
 

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

Another “instant” Frontline special, this one reported in collaboration with the Hartford Courant, looks at serial killer Adam Lanza’s first and most familiar victim on the day of his rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School – his mother, whom he killed, in gruesome fashion, before setting out to claim more victims. What was her relationship with her son? Why did she pass on her enthusiasm for guns? And what, if anything, can be learned from looking at someone who commits such a ruthless series of acts? Check local listings.
 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Some of the best scenes in Justified occur when Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) is facing down an armed and amped bad guy in a hostage situation – and Raylan, as anyone knows who watches this series regularly, has had a lot of practice. Tonight, it happens again, and Raylan starts off by drawing his own weapon and giving the anxious gunman a warning: “I’m gonna count to one…” How can you not love this show?
