Face to Face with Scott Peterson
In the latest chapter of a murder case that has fascinated the nation for more than 20 years, a three-part docuseries features the first on-camera interview of convicted murderer Scott Peterson since before his 2003 arrest for the murder of 8-months-pregnant wife Laci, who went missing on Christmas Eve 2002. Continuing to deny any involvement in his wife’s murder, he speaks with executive producer/director Shareen Anderson, who has been covering the case for more than a decade. He’s not the only one fighting to overturn his connection; the Los Angeles Innocence Project launched an appeal earlier this year.

Divided By Design
This is the sort of situation that would make a good romcom — or, back in the day, the premise of a Spencer Tracy-Katharine Hepburn showdown. Ray and Eilyn Jimenez are married designers in Miami with very different aesthetics: He’s modern eclectic, she’s old-world functional. In a new series, they pitch potential new clients, and whoever wins gets to work their design magic, while the couple continues work on their own home’s gut renovation. In the opener, Ray and Eilyn vie for the business of a client who’s also the contractor, and whose dark masculine style is at odds with his wife’s bright and tropical wishes. Whoever can bridge this gap gets the business.
