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.
