Got to Get Out          [new; complete season 1]           (12:01 am, Hulu)
 
Simu Liu hosts a new competition series that finds reality TV veterans
and newbies living together in a mansion while competing to escape the
house with some or all of a cash prize—but the longer they stay in the
house, the more prize money is added to the pot. Eight episodes.

Pass.

I have not found any new game show that I want to watch. I'll still
watch TOP CHEF, SURVIVOR and THE AMAZING RACE, but that's all.

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.

Too bad my brother isn't still around to see this.

I loved THE ABYSS when it came out. Hopefully this isn't just filler
that they are adding.

Shadow of God         (movie)        (3:01 am, Shudder)
 
When several of his fellow Vatican exorcists are simultaneously killed,
Father Mason Harper returns to his childhood home, only to find his
supposedly dead father is back… and possessed by something less than
holy. Stars Mark O'Brien and Shaun Johnston; 1h 27m.

Canadian. Meh.

Would they be as concerned if the dead father had been possessed by an
Angel from Heaven?

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). The new
season is set five years later and mainly pulls elements from the second
game of the series.

I'll wait until all the episodes drop and binge this.

Seems like a reasonable idea.

United States of Scandal with Jake Tapper         (season 2 finale)    
(9 pm, CNN)

Oh, puke.

Which of the many scandals will he cover?
