TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

I really hope this is as good as the first 3 seasons, as I enjoyed those and I'm a fan of women's soccer. This trailer leaves me... less than whelmed:

‘Ted Lasso’ Teases Reunions, Hugs and Women’s Football in Season 4 Trailer

"Ted Lasso" has officially returned to the pitch. Apple TV released the first teaser trailer for Season 4 on Tuesday, and it's exactly what you expect — lots of hugging, cheering and some great footwork.

The award-winning comedy will premiere on Apple TV on Aug. 5 with one episode. New episodes will be released weekly through Oct. 7.

Just finished up watching “The Capture” on Peacock and would highly recommend. Kind of foreshadows the AI universe we’re heading into along with the surveillance state apparatus.

An industry titan will be on the airwaves no more:

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour to depart from network after 43 years

Christiane Amanpour, CNN's chief international anchor and a fixture of the 24/7 news network for more than four decades, plans to leave the company next June.

"After more than 43 years at CNN, Christiane has decided that the time is right to begin a new chapter," Mark Thompson, CNN's chief executive, said in a letter to newsroom employees that was obtained by NBC News. Thompson said Amanpour, 68, plans to "scale back" her eponymous CNN International show to once a week early in 2027. "The program will conclude in May," Thompson added, "and she will leave CNN at the end of June."

Amanpour has covered nearly every major international conflict and global crisis of the last four decades, including the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Bosnian War, the Persian Gulf War, the post-9/11 U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Arab Spring, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and Israel's war in Gaza. She has also interviewed world leaders, including former President Bill Clinton, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, former Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi, and various Iranian presidents, including Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hassan Rouhani.

In a statement, Amanpour confirmed her departures from both CNN and PBS, where she hosts the talk show "Amanpour & Company." She also thanked "the amazingly talented people I've worked with throughout this incredible journey," especially her "beloved show teams and field crews. We together battled to seek the facts, the evidence and the humanity, so that CNN could always broadcast the truth about the world and to the world, without fear nor favor," Amanpour said in part.
