DuckTales 2017

The remake of "DuckTales" improves upon its already strong predecessor in everyway. (COURTESY OF DISNEY)

In the past weeks, I’ve offered some binge-worthy film franchises, but this week I’d like to spotlight the TV series I have most enjoyed making my way through. Twice no less.

In recent years, Disney has been all about remaking its back catalog of content. A lot of the time, this results in pretty but futile facsimiles of the originals. But then you have something like “DuckTales” — a remake of the popular 1980s animated series chronicling the treasure-hunting adventures of Scrooge McDuck and his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie — which actually greatly improves upon the already solid source material.
