Summer’s returning crop includes some high hopes (teenage shopping mall angst on “Stranger Things,” more scion suffering on “Succession”) as well as final bows for some stalwarts (“Orange Is the New Black,” “Power” and “The Affair”). I’m also looking forward to another season of the underappreciated surf-ellecutal “Lodge 49.” Among this pile of premiere dates, I’ve starred some that are worth a look. Fluff up the couch cushions and sink in.
