Must see

The Riverman, 8 and 10 p.m., A&E.

With his understated talent, Bruce Greenwood masters this real-life story.

He plays Robert Keppel, a detective who probed serial murders in the Northwest. Before he could prove Ted Bundy did them, Bundy was convicted of other killings.

Now Keppel faces a new serial case - and Bundy (played by Cary Elwes), wants to be a consultant.

The cop must work with someone who both repels and fascinates him. He also must grope for a chance to bring closure to his old cases.

This is a quiet tale, filmed and told darkly. Still, it packs deep emotions that may be worth the ride.

North Shore, 8 p.m., Channels 19, 45.

As this show ended its summer run, viewers learned of bitter feelings between two hotel moguls - Nicole's dad and her boss.

Today, as a short autumn run begins, Nicole (Brooke Burns) meets her long-lost sister (Shannen Doherty). She also starts to learn what happened to her mother.
