Those of you lucky enough to have Spectrum cable get to see the second season of Manhunt that began on Discovery with the look at Ted Kaczynski.

I love more scripted television as much as the next guy, but it's hard to get behind content that is available to so few, right?

Interrogation (CBS All Access)
CBS All Access drops their latest series at once in with the request you do not watch in order but instead enjoy them however you want as if it's a real interrogation.
I suggest you watch (it's very good) but without taking their advice. You'll enjoy the series a lot more in order.

9/8c The Sinner (USA)
Bill Pullman returns as Detective Ambrose for another run at The Sinner who appears to be played by hunky Matt Bomer this time around.
They're joined by another favorite of mine, Chris Messina, for a mystery that, by the end of the third episode, is just as twisty and unfathomable as the other seasons.
9:30 Indebted (NBC)
Adam Pally (Happy Endings) and Abby Elliott (who was so amazing in Odd Mom Out) star in this new series as a young couple raising kids. What makes it a little different is their irreverant attitude towards doing it and the sudden and somewhat unwelcome interference of their parents.
Played by Fran Drescher and Steven Weber play their parents who have fallen onto some tough times financially.
Coming from Dan Levy (The Goldbergs and Mulaney), this show about young parents raising their kids and their parents is unexpectedly hilarious and not at all PC, so if you're into that kind of thing, be preapred.
I don't watch many comedies, but this one will be a part of my routine. And FYI, I've seen the first handful of episodes. I speak with confidence!
