Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves         (movie) (Netflix; Feb. 26)
A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers embark on an epic
quest to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they
run afoul of the wrong people. 2023 film also available on Paramount+;

I regret not getting the collectors' item popcorn container.

The Potato Lab         [new]          (3:01 am, Netflix)
A passionate researcher's life takes a turn when a strict director
arrives at her potato lab ­ proving that love can sprout in the most
unlikely places. Korean series.

Is something being lost in translation? Potato batteries seems like a dead
end techonology.

Bwah ha ha!

No.

Daredevil: Born Again        [new]        (9 pm, Disney+)
It may be another Disney+ MCU series, but it's also a continuation of
Netflix's Daredevil set five years later, with Charlie Cox back as the
blind lawyer turned vigilante Matt Murdock/Daredevil. Other familiar
faces from that previous show as well as other MCU properties include
Vincent D'Onofrio (again playing Wilson Fisk/Kingpin), Jon Bernthal
(Frank Castle/Punisher), and Ayelet Zurer (Vanessa Marianna-Fisk), while
newcomers include Michael Gandolfini, Margarita Levieva, and Clark
Johnson (with the latter also directing several episodes). Nine
episodes, the first two of which stream today; the series has already
been renewed for a second season (also 9 episodes). Disney opted to
overhaul the series under new writers and a new showrunner (Dario
Scardapane, who wrote for the Netflix Daredevil series) after the first
six episodes were filmed.

This appears promising, but not enough to subscribe.
