TV Worth Watching

"Mosaic" (Monday on HBO at 8 p.m.)Steven Soderbergh is trying something new with this murder mystery, being released in two ways -- as a mobile app and a TV drama.

HBO airs "Mosaic" as a six-episode series starting Monday, Jan. 22. But viewers who download the iOS/Android app can go interactive, choosing which perspectives they want to watch. It's an interesting experiment. Whether you watch HBO's version or go the interactive app route, "Mosaic" stars Sharon Stone, Garrett Hedlund, Frederick Weller, Beau Bridges, Paul Reubens, Jennifer Ferrin, Devin Ratray, Michael Cerveris, James Ransone, Jeremy Bobb, and Maya Kazan.

"The Alienist" (Monday on TNT at 9 p.m.)
This psychological drama series, based on the novel by Caleb Carr, starts Monday on TNT, starring Daniel Brühl, Luke Evans, and Dakota Fanning.

The 10 episodes are set in 1896, "when a series of gruesome murders of boy prostitutes has gripped New York City. Newly appointed police commissioner Teddy Roosevelt calls upon Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a criminal psychologist – aka alienist – and newspaper illustrator John Moore to conduct the investigation in secret. Joining them in the probe is Sara Howard, a headstrong secretary at police headquarters."

"Waco" (Wednesday on Paramount Network at 10 p.m.)
"Waco: Madman or Messiah" (Sunday on A&E at 9 p.m.)
This week, two series -- one scripted, one documentary -- explore the 1993 Waco, Texas, standoff between FBI, ATF, and David Koresh's Branch Davidians.

New on Netflix

"A Futile and Stupid Gesture" (Netflix Original)
This star-studded movie, available January 26, tells the story of comedy wunderkind Doug Kenney, who co-created the National Lampoon, "Caddyshack," and "Animal House." He's played by Martin Mull in the movie, and in real life was at the center of the 70's comedy counter-culture which gave birth to "Saturday Night Live" and a whole generation's new viewpoint.

The cast is massive, including Joel McHale, Emmy Rossum, Natasha Lyonne, Seth Green, Domhnall Gleeson, Matt Walsh, Martin Mull, Thomas Lennon, Jon Daly, and more. Joel McHale plays Chevy Chase, so watch it for that "Community" meta-value alone."Dirty Money" (Netflix Original)
