As a preliminary to Season 2 of Lucha Underground, comicbook.com is featuring a comic book story bridging the first and second seasons. If you're not already familiar with the show, here are Five Sites Offering Reasons to Watch.

Let me also throw in Brandon Stroud's coverage at Uproxx, which includes news and episode-by-episode commentaries on Season 1.

I dearly wish that Verizon (among other providers) would get off their asses and add El Rey Network to FIOS. Not just for LU - which _is_ great - but for the action movies, kaiju, Shaw Bros. classic chop-socky and more. There is Sling, but when I have a provider that is a lot to spend on one channel.

I love El Rey network and enjoy the slick promos for Lucha, and appreciate the showmanship that seems evident.

In related news, long-time wrestling manager/promoter Jim Cornette hates LU (tl;dr: he's of the kayfabe 'old school' that sees LU's tv-show-with-wrestling approach as an affront to the business. Also, he's probably manufacturing controversy to get heat, which is very old school).
