Chuck Barney’s TV and streaming picks for March 8-14

DON’T MISS: “The Bachelor” — Another drama-filled edition of prime time’s most popular dating series comes to an end with a two-night series finale. It has been a journey full of turbulence for our leading man, pilot Peter Weber. And he seems to be clueless when it comes to deciding what kind of relationship he wants — or needs. But now Peter has a big decision to make: Will he present a woman with a ring? Or more importantly, when can we expect him to land on “Dancing With the Stars”? (8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, ABC).

Other bets:

SUNDAY: “Family Karma” is touted as the first U.S. reality series to feature an all-Indian cast. It follows a group of Miami-based young adults who have grown up in traditional, multigenerational homes. They still cherish their cultural customs, but lean more toward the “American way.” (9 p.m., Bravo).

SUNDAY: “Rob Riggle: Global Investigator” is a new series that has the comedian and former Marine traveling the globe to unearth some of the world’s greatest legends and mysteries. We call “shotgun.” (10 p.m., Discovery).

MONDAY: “Cosmos: Possible Worlds” is the latest offering from the popular science franchise. Once again, host Neil deGrasse Tyson takes complex themes from astrophysics, astronomy and anthropology, and explains them in a way that it doesn’t feel like brain-numbing homework. (9 p.m., National Geographic).

TUESDAY: In the new feel-good drama “Council of Dads,” a young father of five (Tom Everett Scott) is rocked by an unexpected health scare. This leads him to call upon the three most important guys in his life to step in as back-up dads — just in case he needs them. (10 p.m., NBC).

TUESDAY: Get ready to wipe down your TV screen. Judging from preview trailers, the fifth and final season of Tyler Perry’s sexy drama “If Loving You Is Wrong” should be steamier than ever. (10 p.m., OWN).

WEDNESDAY: TV’s craziest guessing game continues as six all-new celebrities are introduced on “The Masked Singer.” Brace yourself for more bizarre costumes and really bad cover tunes. (8 p.m., Fox).

THURSDAY: The sitcom “Mom” hits a milestone tonight with its 150th episode. Christy, Bonnie and the ladies rally around Marjorie, helping her to babysit her granddaughter for the first time. (9 p.m., CBS).

FRIDAY: “Agatha Christie’s The Pale Horse” is a spellbinding two-part mystery starring Rufus Sewell. He plays a man who, in an effort to discover why his name is on a list left behind by a murder victim, finds his way to the peculiar home of a trio of rumored witches. (Amazon Prime).

FRIDAY: As Season 2 of “Flack” begins, celebrity publicist Robyn (Anna Paquin) is trying to put her life together after dealing with a rash of addictions. The first priorities: Rebuild her relationship with her sister, and keep her clients out of the headlines. (10 p.m., Pop TV).

SATURDAY: Time to get revved up for “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.” The 2019 action flick features Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as bickering special agents tasked with taking down a genetically altered cyber villain played by Idris Elba. (8 p.m., HBO).
