If you watched all the latest TV shows on air and thought, “We need more premium miniseries depands on real crime cases,” I have good news for you. Inspired by the true-life story of Christopher and Susan Edwards, the landscapes portray David Thewlis and Olivia Colman as a married couple sentenced to life in prison for killing Susan’s parents and then burying them in their garden. I want Olivia Colman to read a very long CVS confession and rarely go wrong with an HBO crime thriller (No Undoing No Interaction), so I get there. -Allison Picurro [trailer]

This particular show is the latest nostalgic piece on TV. Members of yesterday’s popular children’s groups gather to celebrate the best time of the year with various Christmas songs. You can expect to see NSYNC members (except Justin Timberlake, of course), New Kids on the Block, New Edition, Boyz II Men, and 98 Degrees in their best party attire. Call me if you ask One Direction to meet about any of these things. -Allison Picurro

Much has been written about children in school. Still, as in our society today, we have neglected teachers and torn them apart. (The exceptions are the amusing and rare teachers at IFC.) The most challenging and lowest paid job in the country is at the heart of this workplace sitcom by ABC Quinta Brunson from A Black Lady Sketch, an idealistic teacher working in Philadelphia. a primary school where children throw up and piss on monsters, there are no funds available, and school leaders organize powertrips on teachers. Suppose it were not for the funny comedy. In that case, this program might be a little depressing as it loves to find its humor in our flawed education system! Vote to pay more to our teachers, to the people.

Please note that Annie Live has Tootie Live! The Emmy, which won a live Emmy in front of a studio audience, relives two classic tournaments featuring famous actors. ABC got Jennifer Aniston, Kathryn Hahn, Gabrielle Union, and Allison Tolman as daughters of The Facts of Life (with Ann Dowd as Mrs. Garrett) and Kevin Hart, John Lithgow, and Damon Wayans. They are the big three in the drama Diff ‘Strokes Rent. Maybe the actors will pay tribute to the classics, or perhaps they see a chance to win an Emmy in a less competitive category.
