Top Pick
Trial & Error (NBC, 10 p.m.): A show-length parody of a Making A Murderer-type docuseries is ambitious for NBC, but given the creative success of The Good Place, we’re not ruling out high-concept comedies from the network these days. This one stars John Lithgow as a poetry professor suspected of killing his wife, and, yes, it‘s supposed to be funny.
