Legacy: The True Story of the L.A. Lakers [new; documentary
miniseries] (12:01 am, Hulu)

One common complaint heard about Adam McKay's recent HBO dramedy series
about the Showtime-era Los Angeles Lakers? It played fast and loose with
the facts. That shouldn't be a problem with Antoine Fuqua's new 10-part
docuseries covering the same period of time in Lakers history—as well as
the franchise's 21st century championship teams and the less successful
periods in between. While you shouldn't expect an overly critical
series—Lakers CEO Jeanie Buss is among the executive producers—Legacy will
dive into the recent Buss family feud following the death of patriarch and
then-controlling owner Jerry Buss. Expect plenty of new interviews with
members of the Lakers' 11 championship squads. The first two episodes
stream today, followed by weekly single-episode installments.

Better Call Saul (season 6 and series finale) (9 pm, AMC)

I watched the pilot for this when I had a free preview. It was sort of fun
because she had literally never boiled water before. By season four you
think the novelty would have somewhat worn off. I wonder if this is why she
put on so much weight?

I might watch this if there were six of them. Or if one of them was Jessica

This might be cool but isn't The CW pretty much a "girls" channel and thus,
this will be shit?

I’ll check this out as, as Tatiana Maslany was really good in Orphan Black
but I’ve heard from comics nerds that She-Hulk in the comic plays up her
sexiness while this tv show will go the other way, with all kinda anti-male
propaganda.

I'll bet dollars to donuts that the evil election cyber-hackers will turn out to

OK, this starred Audrey Whitby, and is apparently from 2017. Also, I
think Robin means "two seasons", not "season 2" (it looks like both
seasons date to 2017).

This may be the first thing on Crackle I actually check out!!

I can't tell from IMDb - is this 30-minute episodes?
