v “Strange Snow,” 2:30 p.m.: Don’t worry, this play has nothing to do with winter in Youngstown. It’s in the Moyer Room of Youngstown Playhouse, on Glenwood Avenue; 330-788-8739.

“Once Upon a Time” (8 p.m., ABC): Hook heads to New York City.

“TRUE DETECTIVE” (9 p.m., HBO): Last weekend, we watched Matthew McConaughey nab an Oscar. This weekend, he closes out the eight-part series that might bring him an Emmy. Yes, all good things must end, and so it is with this incredibly compelling, gritty, trippy, mesmerizing and occasionally maddening crime drama. In the final episode, Cohle (McConaughey) and Hart (Woody Harrelson) get an important new lead in their 17-year-old case, thanks to a detail that had been previously overlooked. Michelle Monaghan also stars.

“Cosmos: A SPACE-TIME ODYSSEY” (9 p.m., FOX AND NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC): “It’s time to get going again,” proclaims astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson in the opening moments of “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey.” And with that, he launches a bold re-imagining of the 1980 series that made Carl Sagan famous and science fun. A great adventure apparently awaits.

“Resurrection” (9 p.m., ABC): You’ll see dead people on “Resurrection.” It’s a provocative new drama series in which deceased residents of a small Missouri town begin coming back to life — and not in a hideous zombie kind of way.

“Revenge” (10 p.m., ABC): Can the second half of this season regain the series’ former magic or will it put a nail in the coffin of Emily Thorne’s saga?
