‘Frontline’ dives deep into border separations
DON’T MISS » “The Sinner” — Last summer’s hit drama series gets a reboot with a fresh crime and a mostly new cast. Det. Harry Ambrose (Bill Pullman) returns to his hometown in rural New York where an 11-year-old boy (Elisha Henig) appears to have killed his parents. As Ambrose comes to realize that there’s nothing ordinary about the boy or where he came from, the investigation pulls him into the town’s hidden darkness. He’s pitted against those who will stop at nothing to protect its secrets, including the leader of a cultlike group played by Carrie Coon. (10 p.m. Wednesday, USA).
