Your Friends & Neighbors       [new]        (12:01 am, Apple TV+)
 
Jon Hamm plays a hedge fund manager who, recently divorced and then
fired in disgrace, finds himself resorting to a life of crime by
breaking into his wealthy neighbors' homes. But their doors conceal
secrets and affairs that leave him in even greater danger. Amanda Peet,
Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, and Mark Tallman also star.

I sampled this. Pretty good. Olivia Munn is looking amazing and very
enthusiastic in her bedroom scenes.

The Abyss 4k        (movie; streaming premiere)         (3:01 am, Disney+)
 
Approved by director James Cameron, The Abyss - Special Edition is an
extended director's cut of the 1989 underwater science fiction epic,
reinstating nearly a half hour of footage removed from the original
release under studio pressure.

This is interesting. With that much restored footage, seems worth checking
out.

The Last of Us        (season 2 premiere)          (9 pm, HBO)
 
Returns for its highly anticipated second season, though there will be
just seven episodes this year (compared to nine in season 1).

Jeezus. Every year these 'seasons' get shorter and shorter with longer and
longer wait time between them. These things don't even qualify as TV series
anymore.
