The Legend Of Lara Croft

Starting a new show on Netflix is always a gamble. The streamer has a habit of just gruesomely canceling shows, even when they have great ratings and are adored by their audience. (Kaos, I’m still mourning you.) There rarely seems to be any rhyme or reason, making it such a risk to invest in an ongoing story. However, today we’ve learned that Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is getting a season two.

The series, featuring a Hayley Atwell-voiced Lara Croft, has been picked up by Netflix for another run, just two weeks after the animated show’s eight episodes were added to the streamer.

Hopefully you’re loving the show, and are greeting this news with delight. That’s less likely to be the case for Kotaku’s Willa Rowe, who described the show as “[Croft’s] most boring adventure yet.” Wider critical reception was extremely mixed, with its Metascore sitting at a middling 65, but with scores spread from 5 to 9 out of 10. On Rotten Tomatoes it sports a slightly more favorable 73 percent, but of course neither demonstrates critical rapture.

Netflix describes season two’s plot, via Variety, thus:

When adventurer Lara Croft (Atwell) discovers a trail of stolen African Orisha masks, she joins forces with her best friend Sam (Karen Fukuhara) to retrieve the precious artifacts. Lara’s thrilling new adventure takes her around the globe as she delves deeper into the hidden secrets of Orisha history, dodges the machinations of a dangerous and enigmatic billionaire who wants the masks for herself, while discovering these relics contain dark secrets and a power that defies logic. Power that may, in fact, be divine.

It at least sounds a bit more exciting that the first season, and confirms the main voice actors are returning to the project.

Of course, the animation also drew the Eye of Mauron, because—I dunno—Lara’s breasts weren’t scraping on her toes, or that one character who was also in that one game in 2006 wasn’t a carbon copy? You know how they are, confusing the entire world and all that exists within it with their personal masturbatory material. User scores are extremely low, as a result of sad little boys who are too scared to go to Porn Hub. So on this level alone, it’s a pleasure to see the show renewed, just to watch them have to put their “GO WOKE GO BROKE” jpegs back in their soggy pockets.

We also learned today that Spike Jonze’s exciting-sounding sci-fi project is no more, before filming even began. It’s unknown if that was Netflix’s decision, or Jonze’s. Now please sign my petition to renew Kaos. I need more Jeff!
