"I haven’t gotten to as much TV as I had hoped to over the holidays, but I’ve got some long flights coming up, so I’ve sort of been saving things for that. I did, however, start The Lazarus Project—which aired in the U.K. over the summer and Canada in the fall—ahead of its U.S. premiere on TNT later in the month, and my thoughts are best captured by the fact I’ll have weekly reviews starting on the 23rd. Shoutout to the folks who’ve brought it up in past discussion sections. You were right."
VINDICATED!
My main recent watch was a rare reality TV watch for me - the BBC version of The Traitors, in which 22 people in a castle in Scotland try to work out which members of the group are "traitors." The group vote out one person an episode who they think is a traitor, and the traitors choose one person an episode to get rid of overnight. If all the traitors are caught by the end of the season, the remaining players - The Faithful - split the prize money amongst themselves. If there are any traitors uncaught, they get it all for themselves.
There's an American version on Peacock starting next week, hosted by Alan Cumming, which looks like it was filmed in the same location, but they've cast a bunch of Reality TV folks rather than members of the public like the BBC version. https://youtu.be/P3rqVPKOKfQ
Thank you for the review! I've just got back from seeing Avatar 2, and it's hooked me in enough to go and see the next one. It was a worthwhile cinematic experience for me. It was nice to be taken away somewhere for 3 hours and 20 minutes. (An interval would have been great though!)

Might be worth watching for Cumming anyway.
