Accused
The compelling crime-drama anthology scores again with a timely episode directed by the fierce Tony (Kinky Boots) and Emmy winner (Pose) Billy Porter. J. Harrison Ghee, a standout in the current Broadway revival of Some Like It Hot, stars as Kevin, a Boston teacher who lets loose after hours as proud drag queen Robyn Banks. Their life takes a dark turn when Kevin/Robyn falls for closeted Jamie (Chris Coy), a married man with anger issues. The affair escalates into tragedy and a trial with an unexpectedly glittery resolution.

American Auto
Superstore’s Ben Feldman guests on the satirical big-business sitcom as Chase, a smarmy friend of the irredeemable Wesley (Jon Barinholtz), pitching a particularly out-there brand of green tech that Payne Motors considers as an investment—not to save the world, but to boost their stock price. At least one of the team suspects “a Theranos-type situation,” and yet (in a highly amusing sequence) buzz builds so rapidly around Chase’s so-called Sand Box that it’s going to cost them in more ways than they expect.
