AMC+'s supernatural mystery series Yaga is off to a strange and intriguing start, and I already have SO many questions!
In this episode, we're breaking down the first two episodes of Yaga, where a missing man, a mysterious coastal town, and some seriously bizarre events set the stage for a mystery that gets stranger by the minute.
We're talking Detective Rapp's investigation into Henry's disappearance, the suspicious connection between Henry and Logan, those unsettling chicken encounters, and the mysterious Katherine, who might be hiding more than she's letting on.
And could Katherine have a connection to the legendary Baba Yaga? I've got some theories!
Join me as we unpack the clues, question everyone's motives, and try to figure out what's really happening in this eerie little town.
Spoiler Alert: This episode contains spoilers for Yaga episodes 1 and 2.

Grab your headphones, turn down the lights, and prepare to be seriously creeped out! 🎧🖤
In this episode of Nia After Dark, we're diving into Undertone, a supernatural horror film that proves sometimes the scariest things aren't what you see, but what you hear.
From its incredibly unsettling sound design and mysterious audio recordings to its religious imagery and ambiguous ending, this movie gave me plenty to unpack. We're talking creepy moments, hidden meanings, unanswered questions, and why this film might hit even harder when you're watching it alone in the dark.
And of course, we're answering the most important question: Bothered or Unbothered? Let's just say this one comes with a twist!
⚠️ Spoiler Warning: This episode contains major spoilers for Undertone.
So grab your favorite blanket, get comfortable, and join me for another trip into the darkness.

We’re going deeper into Carrie, Mike Flanagan’s take on Stephen King’s iconic horror story! 
In this episode of Nia After Dark, I’m sharing my thoughts on the creative choices, complicated characters, and performances that made this series such a conversation starter. We’re talking about the changes to the ending, the possibility of a season two, and the characters who had me feeling ALL kinds of ways.
We’re also getting into Chris Hargensen’s expanded backstory, the painfully uncomfortable bullying, and the complicated relationship between Emmaline and her mother, Margaret. Does understanding a character’s circumstances change how we feel about their actions? And what do we make of Mike Flanagan’s decision to take the story in a different direction?
This is a casual, spoiler-filled deep dive, so if you haven’t finished the series yet, consider this your warning!
Grab your favorite snack, settle into the darkness, and let’s talk Carrie.
