Death Note (2017) *Netflix Original

While Death Note has fallen victim to the same early controversy as other white-washed Japanese stories like Ghost in the Shell, the Netflix original flick has gained the approval of the creators of the original manga series and seems poised to be another small hit for the streaming platform. The film follows a high school student (Nat Wolff) who stumbles upon a supernaturally powerful notebook that grants him the ability to kill those he “deems unworthy of life”.

Amazon’s latest original series puts a fresh spin on the superhero tale, which is totally welcome in the overcrowded genre. Starring Peter Serafinowicz in the title role, The Tick depicts a world where superheroes have been an established presence for decades. When a powerless accountant realizes his city is owned by a super-villain, he joins forces with the strange Tick to uncover this big, bizarre secret and save their city.
