SCI-FI OF ALL SORTS ARMY OF THE DEAD Netflix This zombie flick is for fans of director Zack Snyder’s work (think Justice League, Watchmen, 300).

With Snyder penning and directing, expect slightly dopey nonstop action. JUPITER’S LEGACY Netflix This superhero series springs from the samenamed comic book created by Mark Miller and Frank Quitely. It presents a world where superheroes have protected Earth from harm for a generation. Now their children are lining up to take over in this story that stars Josh Duhamel, Leslie Bibb, and Tyler Mane. MARVEL’S M.O.D.O.K. Hulu This new Marvel animated series made for adults has a hefty dose of comedy as it follows the exploits of a big-headed supervillain name d M.O.D.O.K.
