Often we come to you with these TV dispatches with a focus on the biggest premieres of the week \u2014 which we are now doing again. But this week also sees a whole host of finales, all of big shows that started in the tail end of 2023. While none of these three shows made our top 50 of the year<\/a>, they\u2019re all pretty big in their own way. <\/p>\n

Noah Hawley\u2019s Fargo<\/em><\/a> is ending its fifth season this week, concluding yet another chapter of exploring American greed and the violence it spawns. There\u2019s also Reacher<\/em>, TV\u2019s biggest guy, with what\u2019s sure to be an action-packed finale for the second season (and hopefully teeing up the already greenlit season 3). And then there\u2019s Found<\/em>, the new splashy procedural following a woman who locates missing people (and with a few dark secrets of her own). <\/p>\n

There\u2019s more new<\/em> and premiering <\/em>TV to watch, of course \u2014 in addition to whatever ongoing shows you might be following, like True Detective: Night Country<\/em> \u2014 but it\u2019s a good reminder that there\u2019s plenty of television worth catching up on<\/a>, even without the urgency of the new episode. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the best of those new finales and premieres to watch on TV this week. <\/p>\n

Release date: <\/strong>Jan. 16, with two episodes
Showrunner\/creator: <\/strong>Mike Weiss and Heidi Cole McAdams
Cast: <\/strong>Mandy Patinkin, Violett Beane, and more<\/p>\n

A locked-room murder mystery on a cruise ship, filled with plenty of staggeringly rich people who all have a motive. Also on board, conveniently: Rufus Cotesworth (Mandy Patinkin), a washed-up detective, who leaps into action \u2014 with the help of his also conveniently present former protege Imogene (Violett Beane). Very quickly, though, they learn there\u2019s more to this murder \u2014 and its victim \u2014 than meets the eye. <\/p>\n

Release date: <\/strong>Jan. 16

Cast: <\/strong>Juno Temple, Jon Hamm, and more<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all coming to a close, as Dot (Juno Temple) hopes to reassert control over her life and rid herself of her megalomaniac ex-husband, Sheriff Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm). The body count has been rising, and the penultimate episode saw government forces gear up to raid Tillman Ranch, setting up what should be an action-packed, violent finale.<\/p>\n

New shows on Prime Video<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hazbin Hotel<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

Genre: <\/strong>Animated goth theater kid musical
Release date: <\/strong>Jan. 19, with four episodes
Showrunner\/creator: <\/strong>Vivienne Medrano
Cast: <\/strong>Stephanie Beatriz, Kimiko Glenn, Keith David, and more<\/p>\n

Charlie Morningstar (Erika Henningsen) is the princess of hell, and has her heart set on doing the impossible: rehabilitating sinners in her hotel so well that they\u2019ll be accepted into heaven. It isn\u2019t long before she finds this task is harder than she thinks \u2014 luckily, she has a cast of characters who are there to help her (if not fully believe in her mission). Also: It\u2019s a musical!<\/p>\n

Reacher season 2 finale<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"A <\/span> <\/span> Photo: Brooke Palmer\/Prime Video<\/cite> <\/span> <\/figure>\n

Genre: <\/strong>Big guy spy action
Release date: <\/strong>Jan. 19
Showrunner\/creator: <\/strong>Nick Santora
Cast: <\/strong>Alan Ritchson, Serinda Swan, Shaun Sipos, and more<\/p>\n

The Big Man\u2019s back for his final episode of the second season. The penultimate episode ended in quite the cliffhanger, with multiple team members held hostage by Robert Patrick\u2019s Shane Langston. No big deal, though \u2014 Reacher is still Reacher, and last we saw him, he was sauntering through the front gate ready to dole out some punishment.<\/p>\n

New shows on Paramount Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Woman in the Wall <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

[embedded content]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Genre: <\/strong>Broody detective story
Release date: <\/strong>Jan. 19, with one episode
Showrunner\/creator: <\/strong>Joe Murtagh
Cast: <\/strong>Ruth Wilson, Daryl McCormick, and more<\/p>\n

When a woman wakes up to find a dead body in her house, she\u2019s got two problems: The first \u2014 well, obviously, she has a dead body<\/em> that is in her house<\/em>. But the second is more important: She has no idea how it got there. <\/p>\n

The Woman in the Wall<\/em> picks up from there for what Showtime calls a \u201cpsychologically and emotionally compelling detective story shot through with dark humor,\u201d using six episodes to reexamine one of Ireland\u2019s biggest scandals, the Magdalene Laundries.<\/p>\n

Found season 1 finale<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Shanola <\/span> <\/span> Photo: Steve Swisher\/NBC<\/cite> <\/span> <\/figure>\n

Genre: <\/strong>Dramatic procedural
Release date: <\/strong>Jan. 16
Showrunner\/creator: <\/strong>Nkechi Okoro Carroll
Cast: <\/strong>Shanola Hampton, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Kelli Williams, and more<\/p>\n

Gabi (Shanola Hampton) has been finding people \u2014 and hiding the secret of having her own kidnapper in her basement \u2014 all season. And it\u2019s been a pretty wild ride, with plenty of flair for the dramatic. So I\u2019m guessing<\/em> the season finale of Found<\/em> will deliver a helluva cliffhanger, particularly since it\u2019s already been greenlit for season 2. <\/p>\n
