Timeless: Monday, Jan. 30, at 10 p.m. on NBC
You knew it was coming! Timeless pulls a Stranger Things by heading back to the ’80s in an episode titled — what else? — “Karma Chameleon.” It’s true what they say… Boy George really is timeless.

Santa Clarita Diet: Friday, Feb. 3, on Netflix

It’s New England vs. Atlanta in the latest pigskin classic, while Lady Gaga handles halftime duties and Hamilton‘s Schulyer Sisters croon a pregame rendition of “America the Beautiful.” All that, plus the only commercials you won’t fast-forward through!
