This one follows the Menendez murders – you know, those two rich kids who killed their parents and made it look like a mob hit? It’s not as nuanced or exciting as FX’s American Crime Story but it’s got Edie Falco acting her tail off in what may just be the worst wig in the history of TV.
This Is Us (NBC, 9:00 p.m.) – Season two premieres during the Big 3’s birthday and a new year brings changes for everyone.
