CITY ON A HILL
Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET
Here’s another series, or miniseries, where the plot is getting to gumbo consistency this season. And here, part of the ingredients making this particular stew both thicker and tastier are the character actors, especially the women. Jill Hennessey, Kathryn Erbe and (pictured) Sarah Shahi all stand out in small roles, as do many of the men, familiar from other gritty TV dramas: Lee Tergeson from Oz, Lenny Clarke from Rescue Me, and James Remar from Dexter.
