1) “Station 19” and “Grey’s Anatomy” returns, 8 and 9 p.m., ABC. After a three-month pause, ABC’s big drama night is finally back, starting with a crossover. In the previous “Grey’s Anatomy,” a woman named Opal was suspected of sex trafficking. In this “Station 19,” she’s pursued by Dr. Carina DeLuca (the girlfriend of Maya Bishop from the Station 19 firehouse) and her brother Dr. Andrew DeLuca (shown here in a previous episode). Then the case spills into “Grey’s Anatomy,” with both the hospital and the firehouse in crisis. Read more…

1) “Chicago P.D.,” 10 p.m., NBC. Easily the best of NBC’s three Chicago dramas, “P.D.” sometimes surprises us with a great episode. It did that at the end of last season, when Atwater (LaRoyce Hawkins, shownhere) reported on a bad cop; now it finds a way to isolate him with Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) and a White cop arrested for shooting a Black student. Here are the show’s best characters – one Black, one White, both fiercely honest but with differing perspectives. The result is beautifully written and acted. Read more…

1) “New Amsterdam,” 10 p.m., NBC. Last week’s season-opener took us to a post-pandemic time, with remnants of the tragedy. Now Dr. Kapoor (shown here with Max in a previous episode) lingers near death, while Elia (his son’s ex-girlfriend) nears the birth of her baby and his grandchild. Meanwhile, Iggy bares his pain and Max’s opioid rules have backfired. It’s a busy – sometimes too busy – hour that stumbles, but ends with steong emotions. Read more…

1) “Snowpiercer,” 9 p.m., TNT, rerunning at 10. Most humans have already been killed by the bitter cold. Now the few survivors – on a thousand-plus-car train – have added to the toll; Till and Layton (shown here in a previous episode) investigate the latest murders. This hour is dark and downbeat – even for an apocalyptic thriller – but sharply crafted. It also finds people worrying about Miss Audrey: Ostensibly on a date with Mr. Wilford, she planned to plant a listening device. Now she hasn’t returned. Read more…

1) “Oprah With Meghan and Harry,” 8-10 p.m., CBS. Exactly a year ago, Meghan Markle had her last official duty in the royal family. She and her husband, Prince Harry (they’re show here), have since moved to the U.S. and become financially independent. Their son Archie turns 2 on May 6; their third anniversary is May 19. This Valentine’s Day, they announced that Markle is pregnant. Now this special – scheduled for 90 minutes, then expanded – has her conversing with Oprah Winfrey; then they’re joined by Harry.

1) “Gandhi” (1982), 8 p.m. to midnight ET, Turner Classic Movies. This richly crafted movie remains relevant, showing the power of protest, especially when done non-violently. It won Academy Awards for best picture, director Richard Attenborough, star Ben Kingsley (shown here) and five more. Read more…
