TOMB RAIDER from Phoebe Waller-Bridge Lands Series Order at Amazon 

 
As long as she's just the writer, okay. But she better not be the
lead. She's no Lara Croft, who was modeled after Rhona Mitra in her
prime, not someone's middle-aged aunt.
 

LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER Season 2 to Debut in August;
Sauron Unleashed In Gritty Teaser Trailer 

 
Sauron is a blonde Euro-trash model? Never the way I picture him.
 

MR. & MRS. SMITH Renewed for Season 2 at Prime Video 

 
Still working my way through this. It lacks the charm of the original
and the female half of the team is no Angelina Jolie.
 

JEOPARDY! Spinoff Set at Amazon Prime Video 

 
"POP CULTURE JEOPARDY! will focus on categories from alternative rock
to The Avengers, from Broadway to MMA and Gen Z to Zendaya."
 
So basically it's JEOPARDY! for stupid people who only know about
celebrities and none of that other boring stuff like history and
geography and literature.
 
 

Sounds about right. Just watch winners on the new show trying to
pretend that they are as intelligent as Ken Jennings or whoever just
because they know celebrity culture but be unable to tell you what
century WWII was fought in....
