"Jude Law's New York bar-restaurant owner Jake finds his business, and eventually life, turned upside down by the sudden reappearance of his no-good brother Vince (Jason Bateman). Jake is just about getting by, running the titular nightspot and looking to take it upmarket as we meet him, he's sweating on the verdict of a prominent food critic. But Vince has a target on his back: he owes money to bad people and Jake is his last resort."
"With a voice cast including Will Forte and Eliza Coupe, this adult animation (from the makers of Rick and Morty) revives the spooky holiday hotel trope to amusing effect. The premise isn't a million miles away from Ghosts the phantoms wandering the corridors of the Undervale do their best to be scary but generally fail. Instead, owner Katherine, who is attempting to run the place with her formerly estranged brother Nathan, tries to promote the apparitions as a feature."
"Two years have passed in both TV terms and in the fictional US of this media drama since we last heard from the newsroom gang. With deepfakes rife and conspiracy theories holding as much sway as reportage, whose truths will they be telling? The company now trades under the name UBN after a merger. When rumours emerge about a cover-up perpetrated by former owners UBA, will the show be allowed to follow the story wherever it leads?"
Jude Law plays Jake, a New York bar-restaurant owner whose business and life are disrupted by the sudden return of his no-good brother Vince (Jason Bateman), who owes money to dangerous people and uses Jake as a last resort. Jake tries to upgrade his nightspot while anxiously awaiting a prominent food critic's verdict and balances protecting his business with protecting family. Haunted Hotel (Undervale) follows owner Katherine and her formerly estranged brother Nathan as they attempt to market misbehaving phantoms as a hospitality feature, featuring voices from Will Forte and Eliza Coupe. The Morning Show returns amid deepfakes, conspiracy-driven misinformation, and corporate merger fallout as UBN faces rumours of a UBA-era cover-up.
