"Maggie Moore(s)" had me at John Slattery, John Hamm, and Tina Fey, but it's so much more than its star power. A story drawn from reality ("Some of this actually happened" precedes the movie's events), "Maggie Moore(s)" follows Hamm's small-town New Mexico police chief Jordan as he investigates the murders of two women named (you guessed it) Maggie Moore within just 10 days. While Jordan is in the dark to the culprit, that's not so much the case for viewers — the hapless perpetrator at the center of these crimes is revealed in real-time as the deaths occur. Hamm is mostly the straight-man in this comedy-drama, with his sidekick deputy Reddy ("Ted Lasso"'s Nick Mohammed) getting most of the chuckle-inducing lines. It's a satisfying crime tale, bolstered by Hamm's chemistry with frequent costar Fey (who plays Rita, one of the Maggie's neighbors). A good tune-in for true crime fans and "Fargo" acolytes. — LK
