Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 5 Review – ‘Sound the Alarm’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Wayward Pines season 2… Pines is not for everyone. I figure that has become clear for those who have chosen to read my reviews of this season. Mildly unimpressed is merely the tip of a larger iceberg in my opinion. Intrigue and mystery which made the first season […]
Preacher Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘Monster Swamp’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Preacher… Good god I love this show! Now I’m not one for exclamation marks or a massive outpouring of emotion, but Preacher has lit a fire under me which refuses to go out. There is an air of justified arrogance and self-assurance which few other shows have managed […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 2 Episode 4 Review – ‘Happy Birthday To Me’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Scream: The TV Series season 2… Every time I watch this programme there is no avoiding the guilty pleasure it gives me. Scream is the old school 90210 of teen dramas, where actors clearly over twenty wander around looking anguished with a charge card. There is such joy […]

Book Review – The Fireman by Joe Hill
Michelle Herbert reviews The Fireman by Joe Hill… This is Joe Hill’s take on an end of the world scenario, in this case, the apocalypse doesn’t come with a bang, rather the whole world will burn. Slowly a virus commonly known as Dragonscale starts infecting people first they get the scale on their bodies and […]
Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 4 Review – ‘Exit Strategy’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Wayward Pines season 2… Let’s get this out the way now. Wayward Pines is not living up to my expectations. Season two is a rudderless ship adrift on an ocean of threadbare plot lines. Tom Stevens as Jason Higgins is stuck in a thankless situation where he must […]
Preacher Season 1 Episode 3 Review – ‘Possibilities’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Preacher… Trying to categorise Preacher on Amazon Prime is difficult. There are moments of pure From Dusk Till Dawn and others that veer into Coen territory. It’s like someone took elements of both and decided to go dark with it, by which I mean pitch black of course. […]
