Reliving a tragedy
You don't need a translator to feel the horror expressed by witnesses and participants recalling "Three Days of Terror: The Charlie Hebdo Attacks," a blow-by-blow account of the shooting inside a Paris satirical magazine that led to a series of chilling events. Award-winning director Dan Reed ("Terror in Mumbai") does a masterful job getting interview subjects to share their pain.

Return of the king
In "Kevin Can Wait," Kevin James doesn't do much to distinguish himself from his last sitcom, "The King of Queens." This time around, he's a retired cop with kids, but everything else — the house, the immature buddies, the exasperated wife — feels very familiar. Nothing wrong with that, although one wonders if CBS should have gone all the way and recast Leah Remini as the sparring partner.

Devil in disguise
Kristen Bell is naughty and more than nice in "The Good Place," the promising new sitcom in which her selfish spirit is accidentally assigned to paradise in the worst administrative mix up since "Heaven Can Wait." The former "Veronica Mars" star has a ball distancing herself from "Frozen" and "Veronica Mars" by slowly embracing some form of decency with the help of guardian angel Ted Danson. Michael Schur, the behind-the-scenes genius of "Parks and Recreation," is at the helm. The highly touted series moves to its regular 7:30 p.m. time slot Thursday.
