Martin Carr reviews the sixteenth episode of Gotham season 3… There is a reason why Gotham and Supergirl dropped to their lowest ratings last week. Shortcomings in the latter are hopefully obvious from my review for episode nineteen entitled ‘Alex’, while a ratings dip for Gotham remains puzzling even upon closer examination. Now there are those […]
American Gods Season 1 Episode 2 Review – ‘The Secret of Spoons’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of American Gods… American Gods is more of a mood than set of narrative ideas.

Gotham Season 3 Episode 15 Review – ‘How the Riddler Got His Name’
Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Gotham season 3… Coming back after an extended hiatus Gotham opens with a Nygma centric episode lashings of invention, talking corpses and doppelganger shenanigans not to mention the odd riddle or two.

American Gods Season 1 Episode 1 Review – ‘The Bone Orchard’
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of American Gods… American Gods has a petulant swagger, hunkering self-assurance and arrogance backed up by a conceited faith in its source material. From the opening frame to a jaw dropping closing salvo ‘The Bone Orchard’ delivers on visual panache, audacious invention, hard R rated sexual congress and violence […]
Supergirl Season 2 Episode 19 Review – ‘Alex’
Martin Carr reviews the nineteenth episode of Supergirl season 2… Episodes which narratively pivot on a single life lesson however important live and die on the ability to engage.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 17 Review – ‘Distant Sun’
Martin Carr reviews the seventeenth episode of Supergirl season 2… Who would have thought we might get little flashes of Shakespeare in amongst all those comic book shenanigans this week.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 14 Review – ‘Homecoming’
Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Supergirl season 2… And so we find ourselves coming full circle with the return of Dean Cain to Supergirl as Jeremiah Danvers.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 15 Review – ‘Exodus’
Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Supergirl season 2… With the alien registry in enemy hands and Jeremiah seemingly playing both sides, Supergirl turns into an episode of familial feud, divided allegiances and bloodthirsty beat downs.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 16 Review – ‘Star-Crossed’
Martin Carr reviews the sixteenth episode of Supergirl season 2… Back after a two week hiatus Supergirl combines art theft, intergalactic family feuds and lovelorn relationship issues in grand style.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 12 Review – ‘Luthors’
Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Supergirl season 2… If Supergirl is about anything this week you would say groundwork.
