Ash vs. Evil Dead (2015) - Rated 27 Jan 2026
Ash vs. Evil Dead is carried by the roguish, doofish and lecherous but ultimately good-natured character of Ash Williams. The plot is nonsensical but it doesn't matter. A shame it was cancelled.

War of the Worlds (2019) - Rated 05 Jan 2026
This is a very slow-moving, lazy and dreary TV series that never really starts. Season 1 feels like a survival-mystery, with the 'aliens' being primarily off-screen and shrouded in mystery - represented solely by robotic canine-esque automations. It's relatively low-budget, but it works. Season 2 introduced the 'aliens' and cheapens them into being some resistance militia. Despite all of their technology. The plot also unwinds into absolute gibberish. Plays around with a few interesting concepts

Pluribus (2025) - Rated 25 Dec 2025
I think this show has potential to be great. It's slow, it's not for everyone. It has a lot of environmental, process scenes scattered throughout showing the hive do things, or Carol do things, or Manousos do things. Perhaps many of them could've been shrunk in favour of more hive-mind lore. I'm forgiving of this stuff for sci-fi premises because I like to see unique shows continue and not be cancelled. The hive are really not to be admired, or... - Full Review

365: Repeat the Year (2020) - Rated 27 Nov 2025
A second chance-themed TV series with constant plot twists, misleading writing and character change-ups. It's very thorough for what it is, but it can get messy to follow if you're watching it amongst many other TV series. Great performance by Lee Yoo-mi though specifically.

28 Years Later (2025) - Rated 20 Nov 2025
The atmosphere in this movie was brilliant, it felt like Crossed - but the plot of "kid takes his sick mother into the wilderness to maybe meet a doctor that is actually a doctor and not deranged" didn't seem very plausible. No way should he have survived really.

Alien: Earth (2025) - Rated 12 Oct 2025
A strange first season of a series that fails due to its indulging of anti-competency plot tropes. Time and time again, idiot balls, poor situational awareness and bizarre character decisions with unexplained and incoherent motives drive the plot. It could easily be so much better if they were to rewrite many scenes into failing due to situations beyond the characters control. It's a bit of a shame because despite all this, it does have some fun characters.

One Hundred Years of Solitude (2024) - Rated 01 Aug 2025
A multi-generational family tragedy steeped in repeating the same flaws as their fathers all encased in the aura of magical realism. Beautifully filmed and acted.

12 Monkeys (2015) - Rated 02 Jul 2025
I think this show probably went on too long for me. Repeating motifs and themes and I watched over a long period of time that I can't really scrutinise any details. Except many fighting scenes, though well choreographed generally gave the leads copious amounts of plot armour and convenient survival points. James and Cassie were *okay* leads, but I more enjoyed Jennifer and Deacon and Katarina. I never get emotionally attached to them. Probably because as the series started it was too predictable
