A ‘Star Trek' spinoff and outtakes from fabled folk artist Nick Drake: what we're obsessed with this week
TV: 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' I'm as sick of endless IP retreads as the next person, but this is the most worthy of the recent 'Star Trek' spinoffs, and the one that most approximates the 1960s original in its capacity for both fun and substance. Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and the crew of the USS Enterprise returned to Paramount Plus this week to battle the Gorn and other adversaries with generous helpings of humour and heart. Since the series is shot in the GTA, you can entertain yourself by picking out the Canadian co-stars, like Rong Fu and Melanie Scrofano. — Debra Yeo

DreamWorks' live-action remake of its 2010 animated classic sticks close to the original, almost to a fault. It's bigger, longer and heavier, but the heart's still there. Mason Thames stars as Hiccup, the awkward Viking kid who dares to befriend a dragon instead of killing it. The bond he forms with Toothless is sweet and believable. The new version doesn't reinvent anything, but it's a solid outing that works. Streaming now with purchase on Amazon or Apple Buying your first apartment should be a triumph, not a slow descent into madness. But in this intense Korean thriller, that's exactly what happens to Woo-sung (Kang Ha-neul), who finally purchases a home, only to find himself broke, alone, sleep-deprived and blamed for a mysterious banging that keeps the entire building up at night. The neighbors are hostile, the walls are thin and the tension is thicker than the summer heat. 'Wall to Wall' tightens the screws slowly, with a creeping dread that will make you think twice about signing that mortgage. Streaming now on Netflix In the near-future of this sci-fi thriller, having a kid starts with impressing a woman wielding a clipboard. Elizabeth Olsen and Himesh Patel play a couple desperate to start a family, but in this dystopia, the state decides who's worthy of parenthood. Alicia Vikander arrives as their evaluator, moving in for a week to judge everything from their communication skills to their sex life. What starts as awkward quickly turns bizarre, then quietly sinister. Streaming now on Hulu
