About Ethan Mercer

Ethan Mercer has been writing about television, science fiction, and major film franchises for more than eight years. He graduated from the University of Westminster with a degree in Journalism, specialising in digital media.

His first job in the industry was at ChoicesUK, one of Britain's largest video rental chains — helping customers find their next favourite film by day, and taking home as many new titles as he could by night. Working there, before streaming became the norm, gave him the chance to watch an enormous range of cinema, from Hollywood blockbusters and cult classics to European arthouse films and hidden gems.

He later moved into digital entertainment journalism, working as an editor and television writer for several independent entertainment websites, before joining CineCorner.

Favourite franchises

  • Star Wars
  • Star Trek
  • Battlestar Galactica
  • Babylon 5

Greatest TV series ever made: Firefly — despite lasting just one season, Ethan considers it the benchmark against which he measures every sci-fi series since.

Ethan makes it a point to keep up with virtually every major television release across Netflix, HBO, Apple TV+, Prime Video, and Disney+. Through his articles, he covers the latest releases, explores fan theories, breaks down storylines, and helps readers decide which series deserve a place on their watchlist.

Ethan writes for CineCorner independently. All views are his own.
