One of the oddest side effects of our increasingly fragmented society is that almost everyone sometimes gets to feel like an outsider. So it’s worth reminding ourselves that some folks are way more outside than others...

BLADE RUNNER 2049 By David Bianculli

This long-dormant sequel to the classic, influential 1982 Ridley Scott movie continues the story of Harrison Ford’s Rick Deckard, but only obliquely. This time, Deckard is the hunted, not the hunter – and this time, the man hunting the “blade runners,” in this continuation directed by Denis Villeneuve, is played by Ryan Gosling. Ana de Armas co-stars as his omnipresent virtual-reality companion, aptly named Joi. As the movie’s title states, this sequel takes place i

PATRICK MELROSE By David Bianculli

This is Episode 4 of this intense, searingly acted semi-autobiographical story by Edward St. Aubyn, who used his Patrick Melrose novels and alter ego to exorcise some very traumatic childhood memories and demons.

Matthew Gray Gubler plays the guy who, like a modern-day film noir patsy, gets caught in her seductive and deadly web.

C.B. STRIKE By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: This new Cinemax detective series is based on the crime novels by Robert Galbraith – which might not mean much, unless you are aware that Galbraith is one of the pseudonyms of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who crafted these stories about a war veteran turned London detective. The seven episodes cover the three Strike novels published to date, with Tom Burke as the title character, and Holliday Grainger as his Watson-like assistant. For a full review, read Ed Bark's Unc
