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

Season Review: The Boys Season 3
Welcome back to the blog readers. In case you have not been paying attention to the blog over the last year, I have completely fallen head over heels in love with The Boys (2019-26). Everything to me has been firing up on all cylinders over its first two seasons. The performances have been nothing short of incredible from all parties. The action (where it is present) is impactful and has meaning, it is not just visual noise. The touchiness of its messaging in terms of modern-
