‘The Witcher,’ ‘Down Cemetery Road,’ ‘I Love LA,’ and everything else you don’t want to miss on TV this week

MONDAY

It: Alright — we are entering the last week of Halloween, I’m afraid, so time to get serious and really lean into the scaries. If you enjoyed the new IT series on HBO, maybe go back and watch the excellent 2017 movie (the first one, not the disappointing second). 6:45 p.m., IFC

World Series Game 3: Speaking of 2017, I hate the Dodgers because they are a bunch of whiny babies who don’t know how to lose gracefully. So I was already rooting against them in this series. But then President Tariffs went and gave me a reason to actively root for the Blue Jays and here we are. Go birds. 6 p.m., Fox

The Sixth Sense: No, but seriously, what happened to M. Night Shyamalan? Because for real, this is a perfect movie. 8 p.m., HBO

Jurassic World Rebirth: I don’t know, but maybe we have learned our lesson and shouldn’t be messing with dinosaur DNA already? Premiere. Peacock

Sorry, Baby: In this award-winning film, a professor has to learn to move on with her life after a traumatic event. Critically-acclaimed, this movie about a dark subject manages to have a “light touch” and a “wry sense of humor” so don’t be too scared of it being a huge downer.  HBO Max
