What’s on TV: ‘Friends’ reunion, ‘Rugrats’ and ‘Lucifer’

This week HBO Max finally premieres the Friends reunion that has been delayed for a year due to the pandemic, but that isn’t the only thing worth watching. Movie fans have a slew of Ultra HD Blu-ray releases to pick from this week, including classics like My Fair Lady and The Birds, as well as newer options like Super 8. 

On streaming, Paramount+ kicks off its revival of Rugrats, while Netflix delivers the second half of season five to Lucifer fans. For gamers, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries will be available via Steam and Xbox Game Pass, while Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn starts its PS5 run.
