Martin Carr reviews the tenth episode of Preacher season 2… Things start out with promise. A little bit of blasphemous bunk up, heads of diametrically opposing religious orders arguing the toss in a white washed room and some actual bodily harm. Throw in Guitar Hero, arcade game photo booth assault and an undercurrent of regret […]

Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of The Strain season 4… Solid character scenes, period drama flashbacks and a moment or two of hard-core hand to hand atop moving vehicles, make this mid-season waypoint one of the best thus far.
