Instead of a nifty chaser to the NBA Playoffs, "The Last Dance" -- which ESPN moved up by two months -- essentially fills that void, transporting viewers back to the off-court drama, flamboyant personalities and great basketball associated with Michael Jordan and the six-time champion Chicago Bulls. At 10 parts, it's a very, very deep dive, but for fans who will eat this stuff up, it hits all the right notes.
To the disappointment of locals and tourists alike, the beloved, long-running New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival has been outright canceled this year.
Inaugurating "Black-ish" producer Kenya Barris' deal with Netflix, "#blackAF" is as messy as its title -- an unwieldy, self-indulgent show in which Barris, much like Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm," plays a version of himself.

"Run" begins with a premise that invites a ton of questions, then proceeds to answer them in mostly unsatisfying ways. Despite a creative pedigree that includes the Emmy-winning "Fleabag's" Phoebe Waller-Bridge and the romantic pairing of Domhnall Gleeson and Merritt Wever, this HBO series feels like one of those ideas that's going nowhere fast.
Netflix has dropped a new docuseries, "The Innocence Files," which follows the stories of eight innocent men who were led to be wrongly convicted under an unreliable, and sometimes corrupt, criminal justice system in America.
There's a common theme to Netflix's last two dating shows -- "Love is Blind," and now "Too Hot to Handle" -- as each thinly hides its desire to ridicule the people who participate in these exercises behind the guise of a "dating experiment," built around depriving them of one of their senses.
