(Rinder and Remini, on the case)

Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, the A&E series that begins airing Tuesday night at 10 pm, opens with Leah Remini talking directly to you against a black background.

It's an unusual start for a show that wants to explain itself as it goes along. Throughout the first hour of the series, Leah narrates almost as much about how and why she's doing the program as what's happening on screen. We found this quality of self-awareness to be one of the episode's strengths.
