Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “On the anime front, I’m going to be picking up Cat’s Eye Season 2, though parents looking for something a little more kid-friendly will want to go with Sherlock Hound. For people with the ability to watch 4K UHD disks, I’d go with Ip Man – it’s a solid start to the series.” Blaine says, “of the titles I’ve seen, Free Guy was the most impressive, partly because the trailers ended up giving away so little of the actual plot.”
It should be noted that Season Four of Westworld is its last season. HBO/WB/Discovery/AT&T/Whatever-the-F-it-is-now canceled it along with a mountain of other expensive projects.
