Launching a new show on Netflix is always a gamble. The streamer has a habit of cruelly canceling shows even if they have good ratings and are loved by their audience. (KaosI’m still grieving for you.) There rarely seems to be any rhyme or reason, making it a big risk to invest in an ongoing story. But today we learned that Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is getting a second season.
The Hayley Atwell-voiced Lara Croft series has been picked up for further airing by Netflix, just two weeks after the animated series’ eight episodes were added to the streamer.
Hope you enjoy the show and receive this news with joy. This is less likely to be the case My cityWilla Rowe described the show as “[Croft’s] The most boring adventure yet.” The wider critical reception was extremely mixed its metascore is a mediocre 65, but with a range of 5 to 9 out of 10. An Rotten tomatoes it’s a slightly more favorable 73 percent, but of course neither shows any critical enthusiasm.
Netflix describes the plot of the second season: above diversitytherefore:
When adventurer Lara Croft (Atwell) discovers a trail of stolen African Orisha masks, she teams up with her best friend Sam (Karen Fukuhara) to retrieve the valuable artifacts. Lara’s exciting new adventure takes her across the globe as she delves deeper into the hidden secrets of Orisha history, evading the machinations of a dangerous and enigmatic billionaire who wants the masks for himself, and discovering that these relics hold dark secrets and contain a power that defies logic. Power that could actually be divine.
It at least sounds a little more exciting than the first season and confirms that the main voice actors are returning to the project.
Of course, the animation also caught Mauron’s eye because – I don’t know – Lara’s breasts didn’t scratch her toes, or that one character who also appeared in that one game in 2006 wasn’t a copy? You know how they are, confusing the whole world and everything that exists in it with their personal masturbation material. User ratings are extremely low, which is due to sad little boys who are too afraid to go to Porn Hub. On that level alone, it’s a joy to see the show renewed, just to see them putting their “GO WOKE GO BROKE” JPEGs back in their damp pockets.
We learned too that Spike Jonze’s exciting-sounding sci-fi project no longer exists before filming has even begun. It is unknown whether this was Netflix’s or Jonze’s decision. Please sign my petition for an extension now Kaos. I need more Jeff!
