Hip-hop drama ‘Kold x Windy’ debuts

If I was to imagine a hip-hop duo named after weather conditions, I would figure “Hot & Steamy” might fit the bill. But this is Chicago, where “Kold x Windy” (10 p.m., WE, TV-14) conditions prevail.

This scripted limited series follows two rising stars in something called the Drill Music school: Malika “Kold” Wise (Sh’Kia) and Renee “Windy” Johnson (Nijah Brenea).

Best friends from childhood, they seem to share everything, except the guys with zero body fat who show up for nocturnal activities. Unfortunately, gang members from the South Side also appear with alarming frequency.

The series follows their complicated family lives as well as time in the studio, where, like rising stars in any TV series, they promise to take their music to “the next level.”

Hulu true-crime docuseries “How I Caught My Killer” takes an interesting approach. The “stars” and subjects of are already dead. But they left a trail of digital breadcrumbs behind to satisfy any number of Hansel and Gretel-like sleuths.

First up, we meet a 17-year-old social media star with tens of thousands of followers. For years, her every mood swing, reflection and dream was posted for eager voyeurs, hooked on her story of gender transition and self-actualization.

After her many accounts went silent, her mother, brother and many friends became alarmed. There’s no way she would have “ghosted” everyone in the figurative sense. And unfortunately, she had become one in the literal sense.

But her digital footprint did not die with her. At the risk of revealing too much, her killer had no idea that an exercise app was tracking their every move.

“Killer” is the perfect example of docuseries propelled by a wealth of footage from social media feeds, TikTok videos and the like.

Edit them in a coherent sequence and add a few interviews and you have an hourlong episode. Even if the story could be told in 15 minutes — or five.
