Going for that splash graphic, numbers and no background... <whistles innocently>

Whose going to fight it?

Not a tv show per se, but I stumbled on "Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown" on Amazon Prime. Robin Atkin Downes narrating an examination of H.P. Lovecrafts life and writing, with a lot of support from a group such as Neil Gaiman, Peter Straub, Guillermo del Toro, Stuart Gordon, Caitlin Kiernan, John Carpenter and a few others. Nothing too in-depth if you already know your Lovecraft, and possibly too shallow if you know nothing it sort of hits a middle line of exploring / explaining individual works, but it has the benefits of interesting people talking about something that interests them.

The fact that the countdown has received a "Less than 2077 minutes to go before release...."

So was talking with my line manager, that reminder that both of us were hired for a 2 year fixed contract for a specific project within the company, and that technically our contracts end in March. While other people on the project have now pushed back key steps until April and points later. So there's been that "Uh, guys, risk assessment? The data team won't be here at that date because ..contracts ending." The senior people are all rushing around with that "Oh no! We need you! We'll do something about it!!" But don't hear anything official. So eh, I now get to enjoy that mix of Christmas and New Years both a> Crushing overwork as they try to cram in vital project work into the time table and b> Give some thought to starting that job search....

The released footage wasn't too bad but there wasn't much of it shown. For the teaser trailer when they gathered the fans in New Orleans for the big reveal to say "Yes, we're basing it on Vampire the Masquerade, not Vampire the Requiem" : If you're somewhat curious on it, there is the World of Darkness Documentary which covers the creation, the journey through the 90's, the tv show, the strife, suing the fan-club, CCP's buyout, and general stuff. It's free on Amazon Prime in the UK at the moment, don't know about other regions.
