‘Under the Bridge’ (Hulu), ‘Land of Women’ (Apple TV+), ‘Elsbeth’ (CBS)
...
Female-fronted mysteries in three keys. The downbeat “Under the Bridge,” based on the 1997 murder of a 14-year-old Indian-Canadian girl, stars Lily Gladstone as a dogged cop, Riley Keogh as a reporter back after a decade away from her hometown, and a talented cast of young actors, playing complex variations on the “Mean Girls” trope. (Read the review.) The romantic “Land of Women” finds Gala (Eva Longoria) and her mother, Julia, played by Pedro Almódovar muse Carmen Maura, hiding out in a small Spanish town from thugs — Longoria’s absent husband owes them money. There Gala gets involved in the struggling local wine business and with handsome Amat (Santiago Cabrera). (Read the review.) And in the “Columbo”-esque “Elsbeth,” Carrie Preston’s “The Good Wife” (and “The Good Fight”) titular character has been spun off into her own comic mystery as an NYPD detective in all but the badge, bringing each week’s guest star to justice. Wendell Pierce, who always brightens the room, co-stars as the exasperated chief. (Read the review.)
