well, she is just one year younger than Angelina Jolie

Lara Croft should be played by no other than Idris Elba.

Idris Elba is Nigerian born in England

Ok. I think season 2 could find its viewers even without Matthew (and Woody), if the story will be good. But it will have probably less viewers than S1.

I guess you dont watch much tv shows then, because 99 % percent of tv shows dont have any of those things.

but thats mean nothing, maybe you dont like noir non-procedural detective shows, so you needed McC to draw you in. But lot of other people like taht type of stories so they would watch TD1 even without McC in it.
