The difference between fact and fiction is headlines.

Quite often in war the headline is the biggest winner, the larger the perceived outrage the more in draws in debate, both sides questioning what they are achieving, and by effect the more courage and conviction the aggrieved party will feel to justify their cause.

Even on a small island there are places where secrets are so well hidden that they could lay undisturbed for hundred of years, just as with artifacts finally unearthed from a long lost bronze age discovery, what comes to light will leave some wondering how it was never found before, and for others the information will be too much to bare, the secret laid bare worth killing for.

The second series of Peacemaker felt as if it was never coming, in amongst the turmoil of reorganisation and change at the now ended DCEU and its already established DC Universe fronted by James Gunn and Peter Safran, the only regular returnees are those which inhabit the world that surrounds Christopher Smith and the survivors of Project Butterfly.

Resident Alien. Series Four. Television Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Alice Wetterlund, Levi Fiehler, Judah Prehn, Elizabeth Bowen, Meredith Garretson, Kaylayla Raine, Gary Farmer, Ben Cotton, Alex Barima, Jenna Lamia, Diana Bang, Linda Hamilton, Alvin Sanders, Trevor Carroll, Terry O’Quinn.

In one of the most inventive and comical series of its kind, Resident Alien has been a refreshing combination of satire and down-to-earth comedy drama, one that plays upon the old idea of the miscommunication of the stranger in town, the traveller from abroad who is unaware of the social customs and niceties and who in time comes to be appreciated for what he can offer rather than what is expected of his kind.

Murray Abraham.

One of the most intriguing episodes of the animated What If? series from the great American comic house of Marvel, is surely the one that delved into the world of horror as Zombies overwhelmed and desecrated the ranks of the heroes that the fans adored, leaving only a rag tag bunch to fight Wanda Maximoff as her new persona, that of The Red Queen.
