Phineas & Ferb is back with its first new season in 10 years. Where most TV revivals are bad and misguided, the self-aware formula of this animated classic makes it a rare exception that still works after so much time away: https://t.co/1SSuKvwcm1

On the one hand, Apple's golf comedy Stick is a pretty shameless attempt to reverse-engineer another Ted Lasso. On the other, the sheer charm of Owen Wilson covers a lot of sins. My review: https://t.co/b1Aw0cxpbr

I really liked Netflix's Dept. Q, about a Scottish cold case squad full of underestimated cops, which is basically Slow Horse: PD. My review: https://t.co/LwaZFZcXix

FX's Adults, a comedy about five friends sharing a house in Queens, is often hilarious, at times unbearably cringey, and a worthy Gen Z entry into the hangout sitcom genre. My review: https://t.co/8e2IkuUPG2

Amazon's The Better Sister, a mystery miniseries starring Elizabeth Banks and Jessica Biel, is about sisters, and produced by sisters — Olivia and Elizabeth Milch, daughters of Deadwood creator David Milch. Behind the scenes on this family affair: https://t.co/3iJsjUSGVB

The Last of Us s2 didn't so much end tonight as stop, and in a frustrating fashion at that. My review of the finale: https://t.co/DeZjnK0PgE

Netflix's Sirens, with Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, Julianne Moore, and Kevin Bacon, tries to be another White Lotus-esque genre hybrid about weird rich people in a gorgeous locale. But it's a tonal mess, especially at its end. My review: https://t.co/WzMyJsG5X7

A salute to the late, great George Wendt, who brilliantly dunked lob after comic lob thrown at him by the writers of Cheers: https://t.co/b6BuANhDyt

Glad to see that Netflix has stepped in to keep making new Sesame Street eps (which will release the same day on PBS). As I wrote last year, this would have been the worst Zaslaving of them all. https://t.co/AzmlKHJveV
