A busy finale season with the enjoyable The White Lotus (HBO), the very middling The Hunting Party (NBC), the kind of charming Good Cop/Bad Cop (CW), always amusing Abbott Elementary (ABC), the series finale of the very Bosch Bosch: Legacy (Prime), and the weirdly premised but still interesting Matlock (CBS). I also finished up the touching but tough watch Dying for Sex (Hulu) and decent sci-fi The Ark, which I had recorded a while ago off of Syfy.
The site that I normally reference for this list thefutoncritic.com was down when I went to do this. So looking at other sites in different formats my have some missed but decided to add some streaming movies since I keep my eye on those as well.
