"Homeland" on Showtime says goodbye for good with a series finale. At it's season finales for "Prodigal Son" on Fox and "Blue Bloods" on CBS.
Here's this week's list of the best things to watch on TV for the week of April 26-May 2.
Sunday, April 26
“Homeland” series finale
9 p.m., Showtime. After eight tense seasons, a great show is ending. Claire Danes has won two best-actress Emmys, plus three more nominations. She’s Carrie – brilliant, gutsy and tortured (literally and figuratively). Now she may return to Afghanistan, for a last try at a peace treaty. You can catch the full season from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. And at 10:10 p.m., “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels” debuts. Stylishly filmed, it’s set in 1938 Los Angeles, mixing Nazis, evangelism and the demons of Mexican folklore.

“Prodigal Son” season finale
9 p.m., Fox. Last week ended with a jolt: Eve – Malcolm’s lost love, whose sister was the mysterious “girl in a box” he glimpsed as a boy – was slain. Malcolm (Tom Payne) visited the killer in the hospital, hoping to prove he was hired by Nicholas Endicott (Dermot Mulroney), the evil mogul. And then? The killer was killed and Malcolm was arrested; this is clearly a setback. Tonight, this dark (and well-acted) drama sees him trying to clear himself, expose Endicott and finally solve the “girl in a box” mysteries.

“Secrets of the Dead” return
8 p.m., PBS. Centuries of history ripple through Paris’ Notre-Dame cathedral. In fiction, the hunchback hid there; in real life, it held the funerals of presidents and the coronation of Napoleon. Now the fire last April has led to a four-year repair project. That seems imposing, but this compelling film shows that Notre-Dame has been in constant renewal. Construction started in 1160 and took a century; a 20-year remodeling began in 1844. Details – rose windows, gargoyles, flying buttresses – came gradually.

“What We Do In the Shadows”
10 p.m., FX. When we first met Guillermo, the aide to vampires, he seemed soft and harmless. Now we’ve seen him fiercely protect his clueless masters; he infiltrates a club of would-be vampire-hunters. The result isn’t for everyone, but some viewers will find it fresh and fun. That’s true of many FX shows, especially “Better Things,” which has its season-finale at 10 p.m. Thursday. A sorta-comedy, it turns serious when Sam (Pamela Adlon) gives a brilliant monolog and when she faces her ex-husband,
Thursday, April 30
“Council of Dads” return
9 p.m., NBC. This show’s debut saw a cancer-stricken dad ask three friends to help his kids if he died. He did. That aired after the “This Is Us” season finale, which had a similar tone; it reruns at 8 p.m., leading to the second episode, a good one. One “dad” tries too hard, another doesn’t try enough, the third feels guilty. Also, the eldest daughter has married and plans to move to New York City. There’s a sharp jolt at the end of this hour … and then a loud and abrasive “Blindspot” season opener at 10.
Friday, May 1
“Blue Bloods” season finale
10 p.m., CBS. As this show ends its season (three episodes early, because of the virus), it uses three generations. Sean, 16, tracks a DNA report of a mysterious relative. His father, Danny, a police detective, probes the murder of a witness. Meanwhile, the police commissioner – that’s Danny’s father and Sean’s grandfather – gets a woman’s request for her son be transferred to safer duty. Also, Jamie (Danny’s brother) and his wife find a baby outside the station, stirring thoughts of starting a family.
Saturday, May 2
“The Good Witch” movies
All day, Hallmark Movies and Mysteries. TV has plenty of witches. They’re soldiers (“Motherland: Fort Salem,” 9 p.m. Wednesday, Freeform) … sisters, fighting for survival (“Charmed” season-finale, 8 p.m. Friday, CW) … and this gentle beauty (Catherine Bell), with a Hallmark-type life at a small-town inn. On the eve of the season-opener for the “Good Witch” series – here are all 12 movies. That starts at 6 a.m., when she’s a newcomer who likes the police chief. By 8 p.m., she’s a widow with a teenager.
