The serial killer hunt has arrived

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television on Wednesday January 13th. All hours are Eastern.

The best choice

Night Stalker: In Search of a Serial Killer (Netflix, 3:01 a.m., Complete Documentary Series): Some people calm an anxious mind by listening to Mahershala Ali read stories. Some watch Office on an endless loop. Some take to the internet to complain about how they have to pay for Peacock now, then keep watching Office on an endless loop. And some – maybe you are one of them, reader – turn to real crime. If this is your coping mechanism of choice, then see!

Netflix’s latest true crime documentary series centers on the pursuit of Richard Ramirez, the murderer and serial rapist who terrorized Los Angeles in the summer of 1985. It’s not a light viewing, but everyone’s their own . Look for Katie Rife’s review today.

Regular coverage

Vikings (Amazon): Excessive coverage continues

Joker cards

Everyone is well (Hulu, 3:01 a.m., US premiere, full season one): This comic series of One tree hill alums James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti follows two actors whose hit series Eternals, was not broadcast for five years. As TV editor Danette Chavez put it, it sounds like a nice and light “Jensen Ackles-Jared Padalecki fanfic”.

Call your mother (ABC, 9:30 p.m., series premiere): Kyra Sedgwick does the sitcom-mom thing in New Adventures of Old Christine the latest from designer Kari Lizer, in which an empty breeder (Sedgwick) decides it’s time to feed her adult human children.
