Ep. 78 - 'Alien: Earth' S1E03 and the Infinite Cyborg Sadness

In this episode of the Decoding TV podcast, David and Patrick discuss what’s going on in the world of TV, then dive into the third episode of Alien: Earth.

What do we think of MSNBC’s rebrand to MS Now? Is it a bad sign that Ben Stiller won’t be directing season 3 of Severance? Can YouTubers like Mark Rober successfully make the move to Netflix? And how is Alien: Earth shaping up as a series? Listen to hear us discuss all these questions and more.

Homework for next week:

• Alien: Earth Episode 4 (Hulu/FX)
• Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 1 (HBO)
• Bonus Ep: Smoke Season 1 (Apple TV+)
