The Muppets Mayhem

I'm loving this. It's classic Muppets; silly, heartfelt, lots of celebrity cameos, and most importantly it has music, something that's been missing from a lot of recent Muppet shows.

Shadow and Bone

This is some damn good fantasy. Solid characters, interesting world, a little cliched in some respects but it doesn't feel held back by them. I binged both seasons pretty fast.

Agreed! The Muppet movie with Jason Seagle was probably the last great Muppets thing that had great music, too.

Jim Henson was a massive music fan. He took inspiration from all kinds of strange, little known places in music. And this show felt like the first time in ages where music was just as important as everything else.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 5

The final season of this show has been fantastic, it has really done right by the wonderful characters the show has created. If you haven't watched Maisel, you absolutely need to.

Speaking of the music, there's an extended version of the theme song, and it's such a fun song:
