Also, ‘The Walking Dead’ returns and tensions are high

-

DON’T KISS >> “The 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards” — After a sixyear hiatus, funny women Tina Fey and Amy Poehler make a very welcome return tonight as co-hosts of the often loose-andlively celebratio­n of movie and television standouts. “Mank” leads the nominees on the film side, while “The Crown” tops the TV contenders — each earning six nomination­s. Among the night’s highlights: Jane Fonda is set to receive the prestigiou­s Cecil B. Demille Award for her significan­t contributi­ons to the entertainm­ent industry. (5 p.m. today, NBC)

Other bets

TONIGET >> “The Walking Dead” returns to kick off Season 10’s final six episodes and the initial focus is on Maggie, who returned last October to help defeat the Whisperers. The brutal trials she endured while away from Hilltop have hardened her and this is of great concern to Negan, the man who killed her husband. (9 p.m., AMC)

KONDAY >> “The Voice” is back for its landmark 20th season (in 10 years) as Nick Jonas reclaims his red chair alongside fellow coaches Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and Blake Shelton. As always, they’ll start things off with the Blind Auditions. (8 p.m., NBC).

KONDAY >> Brace yourself for an out-of-this-world scifi thriller. In “Debris,” two agents from different continents — and with very different styles — must work together to recover scattered wreckage from an alien spacecraft. (10 p.m., NBC).

TUESDAY >> As Season 7 of “The Flash” begins, an experiment to save Barry’s fading speed powers backfires, leading to a dangerous plan hatched by Nash Wells. Meanwhile, Iris makes a startling realizatio­n inside the Mirrorvers­e, and Cecile faces off with Rosa Dillon (8 p.m., The CW).

WEDNESDAY >> Though Jonathan Knight is best known as a member of the band New Kids on the Block, he’ll share his renovation skills in “Farmhouse Fixer.” It’s a new series that has Knight, who has renovated more than 200 homes, meticulous­ly restoring centuries-old New England farmhouses that deserve a second chance. (9 p.m., HGTV).

WEDNESDAY >> “Murder Among the Mormons” is a three-part documentar­y that recalls a series of pipebomb explosions in 1985 that killed two people and severely injured another in Salt Lake City. (Netflix).

TEURSDAY >> On a spirited episode of “Hell’s Kitchen,” the nine remaining chefs take on the infamous “blind taste test” challenge. Later, it’s steak night in the dining room as one team excels and the other fails to sizzle. (8 p.m., Fox).

FRIDAY>> Prepare to bid farewell to “Wynonna Earp.” The supernatur­al Western kicks off its final six episodes, but our feisty title character still has plenty of demons to hunt and lives to save in the town of Purgatory. (10 p.m., Syfy).

SATURDAY >> Based on a true-crime book by Ann Rule, the film “Circle of Deception” focuses on a small island community that is turned upside down when a local businessma­n is found dead the day after Christmas. Was the killer his estranged wife, who complained of domestic abuse — or someone else? (8 p.m., Lifetime).
