The streaming options are as varied as the genres — from the premiere of “Ted Lasso,” a feel-good story about sports and change starring Jason Sudeikis (“Horrible Bosses,” “SNL”), to Stargirl’s fight for justice. High-school twins (Anjelica Bette Fellini, Maddie Phillips) find adventure in an unusual way — as “Teenage Bounty Hunters,” while the “(Un)Well” docuseries explores the truth behind the promises of the wellness industry.
