CAKE By David Bianculli

Last week’s series premiere of this pop-culture potpourri opened with Quarter Life Poetry, a live-action extended music video of sorts, starring and written by Samantha Jayne. It was my favorite piece of Cake from the opening installment – and I didn’t find out until afterward, and after my positive notice on TV Worth Watching, that the young star was the daughter of a TVWW behind-the-scenes co-conspirator.

Night Shyamalan’s new movie, Kevin has a big scene (pictured), and, when the cameras are through rolling, an even bigger conversation.

EMERGENCE By David Bianculli

Last week’s premiere episode laid on the improbabilities rather thickly, and tried a bit too much to be ABC’s newest mysterious-mystery series – but Allison Tolman from FX’s Fargo remains an instantly appealing series lead, and, playing police chief Jo Evans here, she’s helped by such likable veterans as Clancy Brown and Donald Faison.
