Constantine Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘The Saint of Last Resorts: Part 2’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Constantine… So I missed the party. Dubious carpet stains and semi-clad wastrels still cling to upholstery as the first wave of hangovers turn up and spoil your fun ….that’s me; poetic to the last.

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 8 Review – ‘Crisis on Earth-X – Part 1’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Supergirl season 3… As a rule the crossover episodes are worth watching. Everyone comes together for a preordained event which conveniently ties each show into a singular location then away we go. Needless to say the same thing happens this time round but for some reason it failed […]
Young Sheldon Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘A Therapist, a Comic Book, and a Breakfast Sausage’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Young Sheldon… If you were to strip away the nostalgia, lineage and casting choices Young Sheldon is essentially about a little boy with phobias, social issues and a vast IQ. Partially ostracised by family members and an unprepared school system this elevator pitch should not work. However there […]
Why You Should Watch Mindhunter
Martin Carr on why you should watch Netflix’s Mindhunter… Released in 2017 to a muted fanfare Mindhunter represents another singularly personal project from David Fincher. This article was originally conceived as a series overview but has since morphed into something else entirely. My contention is that Fincher never set out to make a show with […]
