NEW SHOWS
The Mandalorian – “The Believer” (A)
I hope Bill Burr comes back for a death-defying mission every season.
BINGEING
Animaniacs – Season 1 (B+ average)
All my fears about this reboot disappeared as soon as they made a joke about urban decay in cities that host the Olympics. The show is just as funny, with just as much specific, weird and adult-aimed humor as the original run, but they’ve jettisoned all the side characters that never worked. I hope this runs for many more years.
How To with John Wilson – Season 1 (B+ average)
As delightful and weird as everyone said, with its finale one of the most touching and authentic pieces of art made during the pandemic.
