Edward Burns returns to his Long Island roots in the nostalgic series “Bridge and Tunnel” (Epix, 9 p.m.), about a group of old pals trying to find their place after college in 1980.

Burns, who was behind such films as “The Brothers McMullen” and “She’s the One,” also appears as the dad of one lovestruck character and there is an appeal to some of them. But it plays like an East Coast “Entourage” and its soft rock soundtrack is relentless.
