Supergirl Season 3 Episode 5 Review – ‘Damage’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Supergirl season 3… Morgan Edge is a nasty piece of work. Portrayed as a cutthroat industrialist with business savvy and media moxy, this sharp suited villain is giving Supergirl some gumption. Channelling malevolence through a polished people friendly facade we see a face-off with shared history, supreme confidence […]

by

Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Young Sheldon… At just over twenty minutes the makers of Young Sheldon are vastly underestimating the attention span of their audience.

Laying down a foundation of high-ranking, hardworking single mother ‘Into the Fold’ broadens our understanding, gives her […]

Gotham Season 4 Episode 7 Review – ‘A Day in the Narrows’

by

Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Gotham season 4… That Bruce Wayne finally turns into a socialite bad ass this episode is to be celebrated.
