Stream On This Week: A Scrubs-Tastic Revival, Pirates, Spies, and Ninja Turtles

"If shows must be revived, let them be revived like this: As continuations of what came before, matching the original series' tone and capitalizing on that pre-established cast chemistry, all while updating the action just enough to fit with modern times. I really enjoyed the first four episodes of the new Scrubs, equally for the old stuff (J.D. and Turk's friendship is a lovely and pure thing) and the new (Vanessa Bayer's chaos energy fits so well here)."

"Jackie Kashian, though, has delivered an hour of stand-up that really captures the buried rage so many of us are feeling at this exact moment. Filmed simply, keeping the focus purely on Kashian's top tier jokes, it's a fresh, topical, lively, and often cathartic look at modern times - a primal scream in comedy form."

Stream On is a weekly newsletter providing streaming recommendations across major platforms including Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Prime Video, Paramount+, Peacock, and HBO Max.

Flowers starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Karl Urban. The newsletter emphasizes quality revivals that maintain original chemistry while updating content appropriately, alongside fresh comedy and film offerings.
