At the risk of posting the most understated comment in history … errrrrrr, awkward.
Sorry sir, but when it comes to White Lotus, you're going to have to be more specific on which event you're referring to. Lots of really awkward going around.
I know what you're talking about, but still, there's a whole lot of ####ing crazy #### in this show.

It's so weird watching White Lotus and Righteous Gemstones back-to-back, with Walton Goggins on both shows playing two characters who couldn't be more different.

Anyone watching the new Matlock with Kathy Bates? I dove right in as soon as I saw it in my recommended... but it turns out she's only coincidentally a lawyer named Matlock, and she has no other connection to the OG character beyond the same name/profession.
Is this how you reboot a show without having to purchase any of the IP? Just seems weird.

The other way around is more likely. The original was a Viacom production, so CBS/Paramount (which would own Viacom's IP from the various sales and mergers that have happened over the last 30 years) should own the original Matlock IP.
In recent years, Hollywood has gone crazy with the reboots... Some, like Magnum PI, took the premise and characters from the original and updated them for the present day. Many, like Frasier and Will & Grace, were just the same actors and characters however many years later. Others still, which it sounds like Matlock falls under, took the title and very rough premise, but went in a completely original direction.
I don't know what happened in this case, but sometimes, the studios will buy an existing script and change a couple of characters to make it fit into IP they already control. I believe that happened with Die Hard 2, they bought a script for another story and changed the main character to John McClane and it was suddenly a Die Hard sequel. Oddly, as it turns out, the story for Speed 2 had started as a possible idea for another Die Hard sequel.

You guys all need to watch "The Studio" on AppleTV!
Two episodes have dropped and it is hilarious, while also beautiful. A modern nod to mid-century LA and film making.
Episode 2 is just peak TV
Critics are gushing about “The Oner”
“It’s the best episode of television you’ll see this year.” [yahoo]
“The entire half-hour is a meta-filmmaking gem that stands on its own, and there are still eight episodes to go.” [theplaylist]
“It’s almost perfect, generally speaking; the episode mixes biting industry satire with dialogue that snaps and performances that feel strikingly natural.” [soap central]

Especially this week.

I think I might actually have to give in and subscribe to AppleTV. I'll have to look at the best way, but do you need to have an apple account, or can you just go through your smart TV or amazon prime?
