TRIAL & ERROR: "LADY, KILLER"
NBC, 9:00 p.m. ET
SERIES PREMIERE: In last year’s premiere season, Trial & Error starred John Lithgow as a defendant in a murder case, who, like the subjects of such probing and popular documentary miniseries as The Staircase and The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, didn’t always present his best image when cameras were rolling. But Lithgow’s Larry Henderson, on trial for murder in the small town of East Peck, SC, was exonerated, thanks in part to the work of defense attorney Josh Segal (Nicholas D’Agosto) and quirky investigator Anne Flatch (scene-stealer Sherri Shepherd). This season, subtitled Lady, Killer, stars the delightful Kristen Chenoweth as Lavinia Peck-Foster, the first lady of East Peck – and the town’s newest accused murderer. Josh takes her case, Anne helps, and Jayma Mays plays the prosecuting attorney. For a full review, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower.
