This episode is particularly memorable for its dark and realistic tone, and its surprisingly unhappy ending. Back when it originally aired, most shows guaranteed a happy outcome, but “The Galaxy Being” didn’t follow that formula. The episode’s conclusion was deeply sad and thought-provoking, exploring difficult questions about what it means to be human, the risks of technology, and the fears of society. While these ideas are common now, The Outer Limits was ahead of its time.

While fans are eagerly awaiting the next season of Reacher, another gripping crime thriller, The Day of the Jackal on Peacock, is worth checking out. Although it shares a source – a classic crime novel – with Reacher, it stands apart from many recent shows in the genre.

Lina Lapelytė’s exhibition, We Make Years Out of Hours, at Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, created a captivating and all-encompassing experience. The project, supported by the CHANEL Next Prize, combined sculpture, performance, and installation to turn the museum’s historic hall into a peaceful space focused on repetition and the passage of time. This reflects Lapelytė’s continued exploration of themes like time, work, and shared experiences.

I just finished the first episode of Apple TV+’s Widow’s Bay, and while it’s a completely original story – not based on any existing book – it immediately struck me as something a Stephen King fan would love. It’s got that small-town mystery and creeping dread that King does so well, but what really surprised me is that Widow’s Bay doesn’t feel overly serious. Even in its scariest moments, there’s a touch of lightness, which is a really interesting choice and sets it apart from a lot of King’s work.
