Eli’s beloved science quickly goes out the window. He evolves from simply depressed to deeply disturbed. It turns out that the violent Noah has an unnerving awareness of details about Lynn that the boy has no way of knowing. The twisty supernatural toy with 10 partners with the possibility of reincarnation, and the theory that some children have memories of past lives recorded. Funny? Not so much, although Crystal’s Eli imbues the proceedings with a low-key, dark humor. Chillin? Certainly.

What else is on our radar this week?

1. Visit “Poppa’s House,” a 30-minute sitcom premiering today on CBS at 8:30 p.m. Comedy alum Damon Wayans, who rose to fame alongside his talented brothers, plays the salty title role. The divorced radio show host welcomes (well, accepts) his adult son (actual son Damon Wayans Jr.) back to his once empty nest. Hilarity ensues as Poppa tries to maintain his ground at work, where he is swarmed by a younger female cohost, and at home, where the chatterbox is thrown back into his fatherly role as all his actions and words fall under his son’s control . Both leads continue the Wayans family tradition, with lobbing setups and crushing zingers, in an environment of warmth. The show’s success will depend on how much freshness the Wayans can inject into a familiar premise.

2. Ask me about my sense of humor and I’ll answer right away: “What we do in the shadows.” The fractured brainchild of Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement (who initially developed the premise for the 2014 cult horror comedy) lives on in a mockumentary mash-up of MTV’s ‘The Real World’ and ‘The Munsters’, set in the wild nature. Island of Staten. In the sixth and (gasp) final season airing tonight at 10pm on Hulu, vampire housemates Nandor, Laszlo and Nadja, as well as energy vampire Colin Robinson, return with Nandor’s impossibly practical former acquaintance Guillermo. This season, Nandor channels Richard M. Nixon after a hypnosis goes wrong, Laszlo’s strange experiments take a Frankensteinian twist, and Nadja hides in plain sight in corporate America. The undead gang returns to take on new challenges that go beyond sunlight, spiked poles and petty feuds. The show is a notorious Emmy bridesmaid, with 29 nominations and a lone costume design win in 2022. Fangs a lot.

3. Tomorrow, Amazon Prime will add to the prolific sports docuseries trend “Game 7,” Timed for Friday’s 2024 World Series opener, the five-part anthology focuses on the high-stakes seventh game of a sports final. Whether it’s baseball, basketball or hockey, the seventh match is a gladiator fight to the finish for the championship. The athletic showdowns include the Chicago Cubs’ breakthrough victory in the 2016 World Series after nearly a century of losing, and the New York Rangers’ nail-biting Stanley Cup victory in 1994. The series delves into the stressors that can put a team in bring the clincher, or turn those competitors into champions. Will the finalists choke or become champions? These professional teams face the ultimate test to win or go home.

4. True crime continues to flood TV, with Wednesday’s Netflix contender about a legendary California serial killer, “This is the zodiac speaking.” The unidentified killer, known only as Zodiac, was never apprehended and killed an estimated 37 victims in Northern California in the late 1960s in the aftermath of the Summer of Love. The series interviews the Seawater family, children at the time, who come forward as adults to reveal never-before-seen clues to the murders and link them to their family friend Arthur Leigh Allen. Sex offender Allen became the police’s prime suspect, although the evidence remained circumstantial. He died in 1992, still a free man. Brush up on your knowledge of legendary killers with David Fincher’s underrated “Zodiac,” starring Mark Ruffalo and Jake Gyllenhaal.

5. Zoe Saldana, currently on a collision course with an Oscar for her supporting role in ‘Emilia Perez,’ returns as the lead in the second season of “Special Operations: Lioness.” The action-packed spy thriller arrives Sunday on Paramount+ and stars the effortlessly cool Saldana as Joe, the veteran CIA handler of a female field agent codenamed Lioness. Starring Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman, created by Yellowstone’s Taylor Sheridan, season 2 kicks off with a mission to rescue a kidnapped government VIP snatched by a cartel. Add soldiers, guns and lip gloss as Joe, a married mother and military expert, leads the charge.
