2) “The Blacklist,” 8 p.m., NBC. Next week, this smart show wraps its 10th and final season with a two-hour episode. Lately, we’ve seen a congressman investigate the task force.; tonight, Cooper is surprised to be summoned by the attorney general. Also, Red visits dear friends

3) “The Lincoln Lawyer” new season, Netflix. The first season offered a clever mix of humor and drama. Scrambling to get by, a lawyer sometimes worked out of his car, helped or hindered by his two ex-wives, he tackled one big case and some fun, little ones. Now comes a 10-part follow-up.

4) Ocean things. Sure, lots of scary things emerge from the ocean. After a day of shark-y reruns, the National Geographic Channel has three new “When Sharks Attack” hours. The first, at 8 p.m.,, probes the effects of color; the next two study fierce attacks on both coasts — in New York (9 p.m.) and then California (10). But nice things also emerge, at least in fiction. At 8 p.m., MGM+ has Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah in the mermaid delight, “Splash” (1984).

5) Games and such. At 8 p.m., ABC has the second episode of “Generation Gap,” followed by a new “The Chase” and a “Press Your Luck” rerun. At 9, Bravo has the fifth episode of “Operation Runway.” It’s preceded by reruns of the third and fourth ones, at 6 and 7:30 p.m.
