What's On Tonight (Thursday): One of Us Is -- still! -- Lying

 

via Tenor

Tonight's Top Pick is the second season premiere of One of Us Is Lying, which, sadly, is not a show about a couple demonstrating passion a la Dorothy Parker. No, apparently this season is the mystery of who knows that the suspects in last year's whodunit were involved in the death of the real killer. The conspiracy could last for seasons, I guess.
