Episode Review: Alien: Earth 1x7 - "Emergence"
Welcome back to the blog readers. In case you have been living under a rock over the last six weeks, Alien: Earth (2025-) has quickly catapulted itself into one of my favorite shows of the year so far. Everything has been firing on all cylinders, and I am finding myself get more and more invested in these characters (except Boy Kavalier) as we go along. Now that we have one episode left, titled "Emergence," written by Noah Hawley and Maria Melnik, and directed by Dana Gonzale

Episode Review: Alien: Earth 1x6 - "The Fly"
Welcome back to the blog readers. There is absolutely something special about Alien: Earth (2025), but I just cannot put my finger on it quite yet. Could it be the way it has expanded a nearly 50-year old franchise to heights it has never achieved before? Could it be for the excellent character work? I'm not sure yet, but last episode was such a treat to watch in all regards. Can we keep the momentum going with this episode, titled "The Fly," written by Noah Hawley and Lisa L

Episode Review: Alien: Earth 1x5 - "In Space, No One..."
Welcome back to the blog readers. Alien: Earth (2025) has quickly catapulted itself to being one of my favorite shows of the year in just four episodes. It is uncomfortable, it is acted well, and it is overall giving me an experience I did not know I needed to have with a horror series. Can the momentum keep itself going this week with this fifth episode, titled "In Space, No One...," and written and directed by Noah Hawley? I hope so, because I have heard that this is the be

Episode Review: Alien: Earth 1x4 - "Observation"
Welcome back to the blog readers. There is no more doubt in my mind after what I witnessed last week: Alien: Earth (2025) is turning into a massive win for me. All the characters are likable (in their own way), all the horror works, and the story is engaging as hell. I cannot wait to see what happens next. Luckily I do not have to wait long, since we now get to talk about the fourth episode, titled "Observation," written by Noah Hawley and Bobak Esfarjani, and directed by Ugl

Episode Review: Alien: Earth 1x3 - "Metamorphosis"
Welcome back to the blog readers. I was personally hoping that Alien: Earth's (2025) first two episodes (that were released together but I watched and reviewed separately) would be good, but I was very surprised at how well I thought those episodes were made. I am sold on this world and sold on these characters after nearly two hours with them. I am also excited to see where this show goes next, and that starts with this episode, titled "Metamorphosis," written by Noah Hawley

Episode Review: Alien: Earth 1x2 - "Mr. October"
Welcome back to the blog readers. I know I'm behind on Alien: Earth (2025), but I made the decision to watch one episode a week. With that being said, I am a big fan of what that premiere episode did. From solid character work and a great starting point for what we could get, I found myself looking forward to this second episode, titled "Mr. October," written by Noah Hawley, and directed by Dana Gonzales. Would it be a knockout like the first episode was? Let's find out. NOTE

Episode Review: Alien: Earth 1x1 - "Neverland"
Welcome back to the blog readers. As you know by now, I have had a contentious relationship with horror films , with this year being the best year for horror I have seen thus far. I have not yet had the distinction of watching a strictly horror series , but there is no better time to start than now, and no better place to start than the rejuvenated Alien (1979-) franchise. Would this premiere episode, titled "Neverland," and written and directed by Noah Hawley, be a worthy ad

Episode Review: The Boys 3x8 - "The Instant White-Hot Wild"
Welcome back to the blog readers. Seven episodes in, I can confidently say that this third season of The Boys (2019-26) is the absolute best one of the series thus far. It is even jumping into the conversation of the best shows on television right now. But sadly, all good things must come to an end and we unfortunately have to say goodbye to this series for now. But, good news is I will try to make it my mission before this year ends to watch the first season of Gen V (2023-)

Episode Review: The Boys 3x7 - "Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed"
Welcome back to the blog readers. Last week, I reviewed possibly the best episode of television I have seen with the titular Herogasm taking place (and no, it was not because of the massive superhero orgy). Payoffs, humor, tragedy and a killer fight scene all took the stage with that masterpiece of an episode. Will we even be able to reach those heights with this episode, titled "Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed," written by Paul Grellong, and directed by Sarah Boyd? S

Welcome back to the blog readers. Five episodes in, I can confidently say that the third season of The Boys (2019-26) is the best of the series thus far. Everything is firing on all cylinders: the performances are fire, the stories are engaging, and I am addicted to this show like crack. This episode has been circled on my calendar for a long time, and now it is finally here. Would the titular "Herogasm," written by Jessica Chou, and directed by Nelson Cragg, live up to the h
