Here is what is happening in the world of television for Wednesday, January 13th. All times are Eastern.
Top choice
Night Stalker: The Hunt For A Serial Killer (Netflix, 3:01 am, full docuserie): Some people calm their anxious minds by listening to Mahershala Ali read stories. Some look the desk on an endless loop. Some go on the internet to figure out how to pay for Peacock now, then continue to watch the desk on an endless loop. And some – maybe you’re among them, reader – are returning to the real murder. If this is your coping mechanism, then here it is!
Netflix’s latest true crime docuseries focus on following Richard Ramirez, the serial killer and rapist who terrorized Los Angeles in the summer of 1985. It’s not an easy view, but for each of them. Look for the review of Katie Rife today.
Regular coverage
Vikings (Amazon): Binge coverage continues
Wild cards
Everyone is doing great (Hulu, 3:01 am, American premiere, first full season): This comedy series from The hill with a tree alumni James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti follow two actors whose successful series, the vampire drama Eternals, has been in the air for five years. As TV editor Danette Chavez said, this seems like a nice and easy “Jensen Ackles-Jared Padalecki fanfic”.
Call your mother (ABC, 9:30 p.m., series premiere): Kyra Sedgwick is in charge of the sitcom-mother The new adventures of old Christine Kari Lizer’s latest creator, in which an empty nest (Sedgwick) decides it’s time to feed their adult human children.
