Why TV in 2025 Stopped Distracting and Started Warning

Is TV finally telling the truth instead of distracting us? 📺
In this episode of Parallel Frequencies with Just Blane & Coco, we break down why the most powerful shows of 2025 and beyond aren’t just entertainment. They’re warnings. From Stranger Things and Silo to Severance, Alien: Earth, Welcome to Derry, and Andor, the stories hitting hardest right now are exposing systems, power, control, and the cost of comfort.

HIGHLIGHTS

Just Blane and Coco dig into the shows that defined 2025 as one of the strangest years in modern television. Not flying-cars strange. More like “everything looks normal but the walls are humming” strange. We explore why post-apocalyptic worlds, corporate horror, historical dramas, and psychological thrillers are dominating screens and what that says about real life.

The conversation moves through massive finales, slow-burn sci-fi, true crime psychology, horror that’s about systems not monsters, and why shows like Silo and Severance feel uncomfortably familiar. Coco brings in historical context with Death by Lightning, while Blane connects the dots between corporate control, cultural amnesia, and why curiosity is treated like a crime in so many modern stories.

We also look ahead to what’s coming in 2026, including new Star Trek, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, reboots, and the future of prestige TV. This isn’t just a watch list. It’s a cultural map.
