Documentary looks at the child-welfare system through the experiences of parents in New York and Seattle trying to win back custody of their children.

*  SUITS. 9 p.m. Wednesday, USA.

Charles Barkley has a cameo this week on the show he reportedly loves. It probably didn't hurt that creator Aaron Korsh is a Wharton grad who grew up outside Philly.

*  KEY & PEELE. 10 p.m. Wednesday, Comedy Central.

The "Obama translator" meets the "Hillary translator" as the Peabody-winning duo of Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele (pictured) return for the first of 11 new episodes.

*  WHY? WITH HANNIBAL BURESS. 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, Comedy Central.

Hannibal Buress has a lot more on his mind than Bill Cosby. The comedian whose standup show in Philly last fall reignited accusations against Cosby launches a new show featuring his observational humor.

*  WAYWARD PINES. 9 p.m. Thursday, Fox29.

After the revelations a couple of episodes ago - and last week's episode - I remain intrigued by M. Night Shyamalan's first foray into television.

*  RECTIFY. 10 p.m. Thursday, SundanceTV.

Forget "True Detective": This is the show we should all be talking about. Aden Young returns for a third season as Daniel Holden, a man who spent 19 years on Death Row before winning the right to a new trial for the murder of his high-school girlfriend.
