Mark Clark reviews the first episode of Ray Donovan season 4… For those not in the know, Liev Schreiber’s Ray Donovan is a problem fixer in the rarefied heights (and lows) of Hollywood, but the irony is that his personal life, and in particular his family, causes as much trouble as his clients. If you […]

Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 6 Review – ‘City Upon a Hill’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Wayward Pines season 2…Coming across like a particularly visceral version of Chicago Hope or ER, Wayward Pines is gathering momentum as we head towards the half way point.

Preacher Season 1 Episode 5 Review – ‘South Will Rise Again’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Preacher…There is a turning point in Preacher where the penny drops and things get intriguing. For fans of the comic book you knew it was coming, but for newbies this is a slap to the face, nut sack in an ice bucket sort of moment. However fear not […]

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.

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 this […]
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.
