Update: Fantasy fans rejoice, Amazon Prime Video is bringing Tolkien’s world to life (again) in a new TV series that’ll be exclusive to Amazon’s streaming service. 

As most of the US prepares for its winter hibernation, with days getting shorter and nights getting longer, some of us are spending more time in front of the warm glow of our TV screens. Cable cutters, the name for those of us who have tossed out our expensive cable bills every month, included.
