IN THE SPOTLIGHT

— ABC’s “Big Sky,” from veteran writerproducer David E. Kelley (“Big Little Lies”), is a Montana-set thriller driven by the kidnappings of two sisters on a road trip. Kylie Bunbury, Katheryn Winnick and Ryan Phillippe top a cast that includes sterling character actors John Carroll Lynch (“The Founder,” “Fargo”) and Valerie Mahaffey (“Dead to Me,” “Young Sheldon”). The series, debuting 10 p.m. Tuesday, is based on novels by C.J. Box featuring investigator Cassie Dewell, played by Bunbury.

— Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney, whose subjects have ranged from the collapse of Enron to the inner workings of Scientology, turns his attention to murder in HBO’s “Crazy, Not Insane” (9 p.m. Wednesday). The two-hour film details psychiatrist Dorothy Otnow Lewis’ research into why people kill, including a focus on experiences and brain dysfunction.

— Rumer Godden’s 1939 novel “Black Narcissus” was the basis of a 1947 movie starring Deborah Kerr and Jean Simmons. It’s back on screen, adapted for a threepart FX series debuting in full 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 23. The series is set during British rule in India, with Anglican nuns led by ambitious Sister Clodagh (Gemma Atherton) seeking to turn a clifftop palace into a mission and stirring dark waters along the way. Kulvinder Ghir and Jim Broadbent are in the cast, along with Diana Rigg — another chance to savor the work of the actor who died last September.
