“Elle” is streaming on Prime Video, giving “Legally Blonde” fans a look at Elle Woods before she became Harvard’s most fashionable law student. The prequel series stars Lexi Minetree, who gives a spot-on impression of Reese Witherspoon’s iconic character while bringing her own charm to the role. Elle is still bubbly, determined and the most fashionable one on screen. And as Elle would say: What, like it’s hard? — April Borjon

Recently in this space, I recommended “Quarterback,” the Netflix show that follows NFL signal-callers through the ups and downs of a season. Now I’m picking “Hard Knocks,” the HBO show that follows a team through training camp. Can you tell I’m a little excited for football? I’m not a Seattle Seahawks fan, but I bet they are especially excited. “Hard Knocks” chronicles the Super Bowl-winning squad, with new episodes streaming on HBO Max every Tuesday night this month. — Seth Boster

The first season of Apple TV’s “Ted Lasso” ignited a bonfire in the cold cockles of my heart. Alas, there was no way the second season could ever live up to the first, and the third left me a little cold, though there were a few standout episodes. We all thought the show was finished, but we were wrong – co-creator, co-writer and star Jason Sudeikis was hungry for more of his main character, the soccer coach Ted Lasso. And I’m still hungry, too. Hopefully, season four, centered around a women’s soccer team, can recapture the magic of the first season. — Jennifer Mulson

“Catwoman” is streaming on HBO, and somehow the 2004 movie starring Halle Berry still hits just right in 2026. Berry plays Patience Phillips, a woman who gets a feline-inspired personality makeover and a whole new set of claws after a dangerous night. It’s campy, it’s nostalgic and, honestly, the cat’s out of the bag: I had fun watching it. — April Borjon 

Sign me up for anything involving Kyle Chandler, the inspiring, smoke-show football coach from the hit TV series “Friday Night Lights.” This time, he stars in the new HBO Max superhero series “Lanterns,” based on the DC Comics Green Lantern characters Hal Jordan and John Stewart. Green Lanterns are intergalactic peacekeepers who wear rings that give them superpowers. I’m not much of a superhero person, but if it’s good enough for Chandler, it’s good enough for me. The first episode drops Aug. 16. — Jennifer Mulson
