Tiger (HBO)
Tiger Woods' life and career will be the subject
of a new HBO documentary that will debut in
January. The two part series titled Tiger will premiere
on Jan. 10 and 17 on HBO and HBO Max.
Woods is among the most famous athletes of his
generation, but his life has, for the most part, been
kept under wraps. The two obvious exceptions were the
publicity surrounding his infidelity and subsequent
divorce from Elin Nordegren and a May 2017
DUI arrest in Florida. A toxicology report found he had
five different drugs in his system at the time. The
documentary will trace Woods' journey to becoming
arguably the best golfer in history, his midcareer
downfall and the comeback that culminated with his
memorable victory at the 2019 Masters.

For Kyle and Mike, a lifelong friendship has always
seemed achievable, if not inevitable. With so much great
history behind them, there is no reason to think that
their friendship won't continue along the same path. But
when Mike makes the stunning mistake of sleeping with
Kyle's fiancee, suddenly their relationship is tested.
While trying to navigate its strange new boundaries and
rebuild, the two men end up learning more about
themselves in the process.

WandaVision (Disney Plus)
This clever show blends the style of classic sitcoms
with the MCU in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth
Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany),
two super powered beings made famous in the MCU movie
franchise, living their ideal suburban lives, begin to
suspect that everything is not as it seems. WandaVision
is Marvel Studios’ first big Disney Plus
release, and the show will circumvent Disney’s typical
episode release structure by premiering two episodes at
once. The first two episodes of the show will premiere
together on January 15th, with the third episode
premiering a week later on January 22nd. Normally,
Disney only releases one episode per week.
