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.

Alien is quite rightly considered one of the most important films to have graced the cinema and home viewing apparatus ever; a combination of science fiction and horror to which many have tried to emulate, and failed, be it by just a degree or full hearted collapse, the direction of Ridley Scott and the screen writing of Dan O’ Bannon was just too potent a force to ever truly equal.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Series Three. Television Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The third series of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is one where subtly and humour merge with intent and add to the overall charm that has been evident since the first episode that frames the time before Captain James T. Kirk was a hero on board the Enterprise and sheds more light on the life of the doomed Captain Pike and the early roles of those who would become legendary in television history, and within the overall arc of the world of science fiction.
