Murder In The First puts Detectives English and Mulligan on the case
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Monday, June 9. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
Murder In The First (TNT, 10 p.m.): This new TNT drama from Seven Bochco looks to revamp his mid-’90s drama, Murder One. Like that earlier show—and plenty of others nowadays—Murder In The First will focus on a single investigation for its 10-episode season. Taye Diggs and Kathleen Robertson star as fantastically-named homicide detectives Terry English and Hildy Mulligan. They face off against Harry Potter’s Tom Felton who plays a Silicon Valley prodigy/potential baddie. Todd VanDerWerff checked up on ol’ English, Mulligan, and Malfoy and was less than thrilled by the results.
ALSO NOTED
Louie (FX, 10 p.m.): Louie remembers his past in “In The Woods.” Erik Adams and Todd VanDerWerff would be more excited if he were to perform Stephen Sondheim’s seminal musical, Into The Woods.
24: Live Another Day (Fox, 9 p.m.): It’s 5 o’clock somewhere! Specifically on 24, which explores the 5-6 p.m. hour this week. Zack Handlen is cracking open a cold one to celebrate.
The Boondocks (Adult Swim, 10:30 p.m.): With Eric Thurm busy getting a diploma (congrats Eric!), a new TV Club writer will take a look at this pretty mediocre Aaron McGruder-less season.
TV CLUB CLASSIC
Justice League Unlimited (1 p.m.): In “Flash Point,” Lex Luthor fires on Cadmus and frames the League for the attack. Oliver Sava hates it when that happens.
