Just as soon as I finish logging all the Eurostile in this new Naked Gun movie.
(And I really did enjoy Alien: Earth. 100% Alien, and 100% its own thing. Good work everyone.)

The only exception I can think of in recent years is Murderbot on Apple TV+. It’s 10 episodes not 6, but the cliffhanger format and ~25min runtime is present and correct, and people love it.
