2) More sports. It’s baseball’s opening day, with a doubleheader on ESPN. The Yankees host the Brewers at 3 p.m. ET; the Dodgers host the Tigers at 7. Meanwhile, the world figure skating championships continue; the USA Network has the men’s short program at 3 p.m. and pairs at 7. NBC will have the finals at 8 p.m. Friday (women) and Saturday (men).

3) “Doctor Odyssey,” 9 p.m., ABC. It’s “Sophisticated Ladies Week” onboard, with a difficult passenger. Also, doctors have the delicate challenge of a final cruise for a terminal patient. That’s followed by “Grey’s Anatomy,” with Meredith and Amelia preparing a funding proposal for their research and Teddy and Owen reaching a breaking point.

4) “Crime Nation,” 9 p.m., CW. Officially, this wraps the 10-episode season for this true-crime series. (Next week, however, the same people offer a “special” about the Long Island murders.) In tonight’s story, a young artist disappears and her fiance draws suspicion.

5) “A Complete Unknown,” Hulu. It’s the streaming debut of a terrific film that drew Oscar nominations for best picture, best actor (Timothee Chalamet as the young Bob Dylan) and more. That joins superb films arriving recently on streaming, including Oscar-winner “Anora” on Hulu and nominees “Wicked” and “Conclave” on Peacock.
