In this week’s new episode, Andy (Al Madrigal) asks Will (David Walton) to be the godfather to their son, Johah. And even though Will has made great role-model strides bonding with young neighbor Marcus (Benjamin Stockham), that doesn’t mean, in this instance, that where there’s a Will, there’s a way.

FROM DUSK TILL DAWN: THE SERIES By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time in TV history that the founder and chairman of a network has created and directed a television series for his own network. The new network is the El Rey Network, an English-language cable and satellite network with a Latino flavor and themes. And the new show, a 10-part weekly series beginning tonight, is From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, an expansion and retelling of the raucous 1996 vampire film directed by Rodriguez, writ

JUSTIFIED By David Bianculli

This week, Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) goes on “vacation” – but, as always when he leaves town, he’s got at least one hidden agenda. In this new episode, that agenda has him visiting a gun range to confront a powerful character, played by an actor whose drawl, smirk and swagger fit right in: Eric Roberts.

THOSE WHO KILL By David Bianculli

BELIEVE By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: This isn’t a recommendation, just a notation, because of the talent of the people behind this new series. Two of the executive producers are J.J. Abrams and Alfonso Cuaron – but with Abrams shepherding both the Star Trek and Star Wars movie franchises, and Cuaron just walking away with a Best Picture Oscar for Gravity, the level of their time and commitment to this new NBC series is a very valid question. The opening hour, about a youngster with special powers who is

ONCE UPON A TIME By David Bianculli

MIDSEASON RETURN: This series is back with its first new episode of 2014. It’s preceded by a one-hour special, at 7 p.m. ET, summarizing the season to date, but it’s the new installment that’s worthy of note. That’s because Rebecca Mader, who played the adorable redheaded Charlotte on Lost, guest stars here in a much less adorable role. One hint: She’s got green skin and flying monkeys.
