Daredevil Season 2 Episode 12 Review – ‘The Dark At The End of The Tunnel’
Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Daredevil season 2… If Fisk owned episode ten and eleven belonged to Castle then episode twelve, or ‘The Dark At The End This Tunnel’ feels strangely average. Now I know that Daredevil average is another programme’s barnstorming opener, so I will be cautious in my evaluation. It’s only […]
Video Game Review – Shadow Complex Remastered
Martin Carr reviews Shadow Complex Remastered… Originally developed by Epic in association with Chair Entertainment and published by Microsoft, Shadow Complex is 2D sideways scrolling platformer. Powered by Unreal Engine and rebooted for Xbox One and PS4, Complex lapses into 3D whilst maintaining the old school ethic of two dimensional shooters. Initially released on Xbox […]

Better Call Saul Season 2 Episode 6 Review – ‘Bali Ha’i’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Better Call Saul Season 2… I’ll be honest this reviewer is not up to speed with Better Call Saul. Now before the diehards start getting upset let me just say that I did watch Breaking Bad religiously. Like a vast majority of the population it drew me in […]

Gotham Season 2 Episode 15 Review – ‘Mad Grey Dawn’
Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Gotham season 2… These are dark days indeed for Jim Gordon. Never has a tagline for an episode been more apt than it is here with Gotham’s ‘Mad Grey Dawn’. Because as the sun comes up on another day in this grimy metropolis, things have never looked bleaker. […]
Supergirl Season 1 Episode 17 Review – ‘Manhunter’
Martin Carr reviews the seventeenth episode of Supergirl… There are echoes of Alien Nation and Predator in this week’s episode, which effectively employs flashback to fill in back story for everyone. Unlike other shows the technique is employed correctly to broaden and deepen our bond with these characters, while showing the true nature of others. […]
