GEEK OUT! STAR TREK : PICARD – “REMEMBRANCE”
If, like me, you enjoyed Star Trek : Discovery, then you will find Star Trek : Picard an absolute joy to behold. If not, then you will probably decry Picard as yet another desecration of Gene Roddenberry’s vision.

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY
VELVET BUZZSAW
Don’t expect any subtlety or nuance from Velvet Buzzsaw, the latest flick from writer-director Dan Gilroy. This one’s more visceral and in some ways, silly as well.

DC UNIVERSE : TITANS
TITANS IS A DARKER VERSION OF SINGER’S ORIGINAL X-MEN Already more than halfway through its first season, the DC Universe streaming series is proving to be problematic at best, and at worst a badly written super-hero adaptation.
GEEK OUT!!! STREAMING | DAREDEVIL SEASON 3
Apart from Daredevil and perhaps The Punisher, the quality of Marvel TV-Netflix series has been mixed. The first season of Jessica Jones only succeeded because of its engaging villain, Killgrave (played by David Tennent) while season 2 was decidedly inferior.
GEEK OUT!!! HORROR : THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE (NETFLIX)
Loosely based on Shirley Wilson’s classic 1959 novel of the same name, this Netflix series is a tour-de-force from writer-director Mike Flanagan and possibly one of the best of its kind this year.
GEEK OUT!!! SCIFI FANTASY STREAMER : MANIAC (NO SPOILERS)
As regular visitors will know, I am a huge fan of scifi author Phillip K Dick and I always take pleasure in discovering works that incorporate the themes that Dick’s novels focused on. In that light, I highly recommend the new Netflix streaming series, Maniac.
