The Orville Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘Into the Fold’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of The Orville season 1… This narrative segue might be old-fashioned, stereotypical and not without a blatant appeal to audience’s heartstrings, but it works effectively to put Doctor Claire Finn and Isaac together. 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’
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. Combine that with the turning of the tide within Gotham’s GCPD and episode seven is definitely down and dirty. Bloodletting, police brutality and dream sequence beatings all feed into […]

Marvel’s Inhumans Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘The Gentleman’s Name Is Gorgon’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Marvel’s Inhumans… Whoever keeps coming up with these taglines needs reprimanding. Gorgon is not even the central focus of this episode and in fact gets less screen time than he deserves. That the writers have seen fit to bless him with a slightly expanded backstory does nothing to […]
The Orville Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘Majority Rule’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of The Orville… Written by Seth MacFarlane this episode has more in common with Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror than anything else.
