Tell Me A Story (CBS All Access) — Look, we have no clue what’s going on with CBS’ All Access plan except that some really great shows are getting buried over there. Tell Me A Story might be one of them, we’re not sure yet, but in case you’ve already signed up for the subscription service, or you were thinking of signing up for this series, here’s the gist: It’s a dark remake of some popular children’s tales. Think “Three Little Pigs” but with scruffy Paul Wesley-types planning robberies while wearing pig masks. The show’s got an A-list cast and just the right amount of thrill and chill to make it perfect Halloween viewing.
