Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Marvel’s Inhumans… It has taken five weeks for Inhumans to amount to more than a fragmented mess of scenes, effects and paper-thin character arcs. Thankfully after trawling through the mire of irrelevance, wasted opportunity and needless segues we reach something positive worth mentioning. This episode has pace, broadens […]
Gotham Season 4 Episode 5 Review – ‘The Blade’s Path’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Gotham season 4… This week was more for the comic book aficionados than those after straightforward entertainment. For the first time in a while I had to look up references for Gotham rather than going on pure narrative twists and turns. My reasoning being the emergence of Solomon […]

Marvel’s Inhumans Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘Make Way For… Medusa’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Marvel’s Inhumans… There is a reason why Inhumans continues to nosedive in the ratings. It fails to engage, lacks logical narrative reasoning and on top of that is frustratingly fragmented. Our king and queen Medusa and Black Bolt are standoffish, stoic, bossy, slightly condescending and two-dimensional, while Maximus, Crystal, […]
Book Review – The Spawn of Lilith by Dana Fredsti
Michelle Herbert reviews The Spawn of Lilith by Dana Fredsti… The Spawn of Lilith feels like a slightly different take on urban fantasy, where instead of a young woman being thrown into a world she never knew existed, this world is part of her everyday existence. Set in Los Angeles and focusing on stuntmen and […]
Gotham Season 4 Episode 4 Review – ‘The Demon’s Head’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Gotham season 4… Sacrificial knife inscriptions, steamy liaisons with criminal femme fatales and an immortal foe with a man dog from the afterlife are just a few things which feature in ‘The Demon’s Head’. Couple that with an absent minded Riddler, overly paranoid kingpin Penguin and an irate […]
The Orville Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘Krill’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of The Orville season 1… Buried beneath the sight gags, latex make up and tag team chemistry of ‘Krill’ sits a moral message. For five episodes the villainy at this programme’s centre has remained vague and ambiguous. As a species The Krill have been alluded to but there was […]
Mr. Mercedes Season 1 Finale Review – ‘Jibber-Jibber Chicken Dinner’
Martin Carr reviews the Mr. Mercedes season 1 finale… As far as finales go this is strong stuff held together by grizzly dream sequences, psychotic Professor X wannabes and some nasty knife work. We get to see placebo pills being popped, Hodges floating around unconvinced by the death of his arch nemesis while a half […]
