When Lucy Carlisle (Ruby Stokes) relocates to London after a mission in her hometown goes horribly wrong, she joins the eponymous ghost-hunting agency, run by teen savant Anthony Lockwood (Cameron Chapman) and his ally George (Ali Hadji-Heshmati). Don’t expect a transatlantic take on the recent Ghostbusters reboot though-this is a world where children are the only people able to combat the malign spirits plaguing the living. follows a group of teen ghost hunters in an alternate present-day Britain.
#NETFLIX TOP 10 SERIES UPDATE#
Smith), and a more ambitious long-form story stretching across its three seasons, Lost in Space is a strong update for modern viewers.īased on the books by Jonathan Stroud and developed by Attack the Block director Joe Cornish, Lockwood & Co. With less saccharine family dynamics than the original, less camp (with the arguable exception of Parker Posey, stealing scenes as the nefarious Dr. Stranded, with no way to reunite with the colony mission they were once part of, the family’s fate may rest with a strange robot befriended by youngest son Will-but unlike in the original show, this robot caused the disaster that stranded them. The stakes are far higher in this reboot though, with the Robinsons trapped on a dangerous alien world after an attempt to evacuate a doomed Earth goes disastrously wrong. That means you can settle in to this glossier take on the Robinson family and their desperate attempt to survive on an alien planet without fear of a permanent cliffhanger or a never-coming conclusion. It’s a few years old at this point, but Netflix’s update of the classic 1960s sci-fi show is one of the rarest entries on the service now-a genre show that the streamer can’t cancel after one season, because it’s already completed its three-season run. Just remember, the key word in the title is “bizarre”! Honestly, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is nonsense at times-but such hyper-stylish nonsense that you’ll easily be swept up in the madness. The decision to focus each season on a different era also makes for a surprisingly digestible viewing experience, despite the scope. Original creator Hirohiko Araki drew influence from Western rock music and high fashion for his saga, which combine with exagerrated physiques and hyperkinetic action to make this anime adaptation visually and tonally unique. Luckily, each generation of the Joestar family has a champion (each with a name that can be trimmed to JoJo) to rise to the challenge, mastering arcane abilities of their own-notably summoning ghostly giants known as Stands-to combat Dio and a host of other supernatural threats across the ages. This is no mere tale of warring clans, though, as Dio’s dabbling with dark forces sees him returning over the eras to plague Jonathan’s decendents anew. In Victorian England, Jonathan Joestar clashes with his deranged adoptive brother Dio Brando, starting a centuries-long feud that will sweep the globe.
