The White Lotus , Mike White’s satire about what people do to get money and what money does to them once they’ve got it, has returned for a third season.

Pokémon Let’s Go makes a few major changes to the games’ basic formula, the biggest of which is to revamp the whole catching mechanic by bringing in features from mobile spin-off Pokémon Go . In addition to changing how you catch Pokémon, the new game also shifts things by giving all of your Pokémon XP for every capture – often more than you get for battling. That in turns encourages you to catch ‘em all, with the side effect that you’re likely to pick up lots of extra and duplicate Pokémon....
