Homeland, 10.30pm, RTÉ 2
It's the eighth and final season of the CIA thriller that went from great to awful and landed on pretty good for the last few runs.
Once again Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin return as the bipolar former CIA agent Carrie Mathison, and Saul Berenson, Carrie's mentor both within and out of the CIA.
The final season begins with Carrie recovering in Germany after the events of last season, while Saul makes a negotiation and freelance surveillance expert Max (Maury Sterling) has a new mission.

Hunted, 9.00pm, Channel 4
The real-life thriller returns as ordinary people go on the run from a team of expert hunters.
This time the hunted include a mother on the run, a 78-year-old grandfather with a mysterious past, and a couple of childhood sweethearts - 10 pairs pursued by an elite group of determined ex-military, law enforcement and security forces.
For the first time, the fugitives have been stripped of all personal belongings and money - all they have is the clothes on their backs.
The Secret Life of the Zoo, 8.0pm, Channel 4
Cameras once again lead viewers into the places that Chester Zoo's regular visitors never get to see.

Here's an old clip that shows the flavour of the show:

Sister Stanislaus Kennedy recently turned 80. Over the last 60 years, her tireless campaigning, activism and outreach on behalf of people who are homeless and marginalised have changed countless lives and made her a national figure.
But now she has been forced by a cancer diagnosis to take a step back from all that. She has undergone treatment and is in recovery but, after decades of doing, is now learning simply how to be.
Oscar-winning actress Brenda Fricker narrates this documentary about the founder of Focus Ireland, the Immigrant Council of Ireland and Young Social Innovators, revealing the family, friendships and faith that have inspired and sustained Sister Stan in her battles for a fairer, more compassionate society.
