Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, May 23. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
The Twilight Zone (CBS All Access, 3:01 a.m.): Well, this looks upsetting. There’s a long line of stories in genre fiction and filmmaking in which an object—a car, say, or a VHS tape, or a ring, or a diary that writes you special messages from the past in a not at all suspicious manner—seems to be haunted, possessed, cursed, or in some other way, doomed. The original Twilight Zone had just such an installment, centered on a seemingly cursed sword, but in this case, it’s a gun. Oh, and a special bullet.
