When the body of 18-year-old Brandi Henderson is found on March 10th

grips of the crack epidemic with a new murder almost every other day,
Detective McFadden and the CMPD's nine-person Homicide Unit are already
overwhelmed. As more victims are found, and patterns emerge, Garry and
the team find themselves on the hunt for a serial killer and time is
running out before he claims his next victim. Reveals the story of 'Bad'
Henry Louis Wallace, one of the country's most notorious serial killers.

Tomorrow's advance notes:
Castle Rock [new] (3:01 am, Hulu)
Hulu's next big thing is a psychological horror series from producer
J.J. Abrams and best-selling author Stephen King. As the title suggests,
Castle Rock is set in the "Stephen King multiverse"—many of his works
take place in that fictional Maine small town—though it tells a new,
original story: Death row attorney Henry (Andre Holland) returns to his
hometown of Castle Rock, Maine after receiving a call from Shawshank.
Sissy Spacek, Melanie Lynskey, Bill Skarsgård, Jane Levy, and Scott
Glenn also star. Three episodes stream today, with the remaining
episodes arriving weekly.

Burden of Truth [new to US] (8 pm, CW)
Burden of Truth is a ten-part serialised investigative drama about
life-altering legal cases. Fast-rising corporate attorney Joanna Hanley
(Kristin Kreuk, Smallville, Beauty and the Beast) returns to her small
hometown of Millwood – a prairie town with an industrial past and
uncertain future – to represent a major client in a case against some
sick high school girls. She dispatches her case quickly and efficiently,
crushing the girls and their small-town lawyer – her former high school
classmate Billy Crawford. After winning her case, she discovers the
girls are sicker than anyone thought. Otherwise healthy young women have
been overcome with uncontrollable twitches and seizures, making life
unlivable. They need help. Joanna also realizes she may have unresolved
personal business in town. Even though she’s a successful partner in a
big law firm, she can’t ignore the feeling that something in her life is
not right. She becomes convinced all the answers she’s seeking about her
broken life can be found in her old hometown. And if she’s going to fix
herself, she has to start where it all began – with uncovering all of
her family’s deepest secrets. First broadcast by CBC.

It's on the CW. I'm down to Penn & Teller and the Jessica Steen Feel
Good hour. I'm pretty sure I don't want to bother with another scripted
drama on the CW, considering how many I've quit in the last few months.

Heh. Exactly. I recall an episode of THE X-FILES that required major
reworking just to get it to fit in with standard TV norms. And between
him and Clancy, I don't know which one better exemplifies how quickly
writing can go downhill when there's not a good editor around, willing
to confront a successful author's ego by trimming the story fat and
thinning the narrative and bringing the final product to something under
a thousand pages.
