Channel Zero Season 2 Episode 1 Review: “This Isn’t Real”

Warning: This article contains mentions of child sexual assault, and slight spoilers for Channel Zero: No-End House. With the new year, comes a new season. Well, not so much, but new to me. Channel Zero‘s second season, “No-End House,” hints at an…

Impetigore (2019) Review

Warning: This article contains mentions of child and infant death, gore and violence, and mild spoilers for Impetigore. In an entirely on-brand move, I ditched the Christmas movies this year. I’ll spare you all the reasons for why my spirit’s been rather…

Dr Who “The Stolen Earth” & “Journey’s End” – Review

Boof, and the planet is gone. I’m not sure that is what Barry Scott was on about with his useless cleaning product. Either that, or he’s one of those little green men Wilf is on about all the time. The last episode…

Channel Zero Episode 6 Review: “Welcome Home”

Having arrived at the closing of Channel Zero‘s first season, “Candle Cove,” I’m pleased to say (as odd as the sentiment may be) that this final episode might be the strongest in the season. For one, it seems to have finally figured…

Doctor Who “Turn Left” – Review

Oh, there are many lines here I am ready to shout about with anger, “England, for the English,” “Donna Noble, you’re the most important woman in the whole of creation,” and so on. Last time in “Midnight,” we spoke of our human…

Channel Zero Episode 5 Review: “Guest of Honor”

Warning: This article contains mentions of murder and death, and spoilers for Channel Zero. One of Channel Zero’s greatest strengths is its visual attention to detail in both set-building and costume design. This has been true pretty much throughout, but it comes…

Doctor Who “Midnight” – Review

Midnight, not just the time I am swearing at when trying to grab images for these reviews, but also the name of a planet in an episode I didn’t quite remember watching before. I knew one or two shots but for the…

Channel Zero Episode 4 Review: “Protect the Ship!”

Warning: This article contains mentions of murder and death. Weaving into Channel Zero‘s fourth episode necessitated answering some questions that root back to protagonist Mike Painter’s childhood. As the other side of the coin to episode 3 it spends time fleshing out…

Dr Who “Silence In The Library” & “Forest Of The Dead” – Review

“Hello sweetie!” Oh, I do love hearing that, though it sounds far sweeter from a curly blonde woman surrounded by mystery, action, and intrigue than it does from your dad. Professor River Song is Moffat’s second-best creation behind what haunts River’s mum.…

Channel Zero Episode 3 Review: “Want To See Something Cool?”

Warning: This article contains discussion of police violence and abuse of power, and spoilers for Channel Zero. Channel Zero‘s mid-season point marks a well-placed pivot toward the more human elements underlying its story. In doing so, it lends some needed gravitas to…
