TV THIS WEEK: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns; Space Force blasts off; Legends and more

By Trent Moore
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The big story this week is one fans have waited a long time to see — Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is finally back for its final adventure. The OG Marvel show is still going strong and headed back in time for its last hurrah.

Aside from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s return, Netflix's high-profile new comedy Space Force, starring Steve Carell, makes its debut this Friday. The CW has some fresh superhero stuff on tap, including a trippy episode of Legends of Tomorrow that sends the team into various TV shows (yeah, it sounds bonkers), plus a new episode of freshman series Stargirl (which is looking pretty great). CBS is bringing the classic adventure action on Sunday with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Digging deeper, Discovery has a special look behind the scenes of the upcoming first U.S. launch of an astronaut in SpaceX's new spacecraft; FX has a new What We Do in the Shadows; HBO has the network premiere of sci-fi-ish flick Lucy in the Sky; TNT has a new Snowpiercer; DC Universe has a new Harley Quinn; SYFY is showing the new Tomb Raider flick; plus a whole lot more.

Check out the full rundown below and let us know what you'll be watching on TV this week.
