Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of The Strain season 2… After Season One’s endless exposition, The Strain is finally playing out like a hybrid espionage thriller. Ephraim Goodweather is heading the charge into uncharted territory, with Corey Stoll going full on Agent 47. While his mad as a mongoose missus pursues their son across […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘Betrayed’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Scream: The TV Series… Amadeus Serafini is an anomaly. Part Christian Slater during his Nicholson phase, with a smidgen of Jason Patric pre Speed 2 and post Lost Boys. Noticeable only for his absence from my reviews, Serafini has floated around on the periphery having little impact for […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 4 Review – ‘Silver Angel’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of The Strain season 2… My experience of Mexican wrestling movies is limited to Nacho Libre. That ‘comedy’ which proved to me Jack Black should stick to what he does best. By which I mean singing and Kung Fu Panda sequels. That The Strain opens on just such a […]

The Strain Season 2 Episode 2 Review – ‘By Any Means Necessary’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of The Strain season 2… For the longest time I had issues with the emotional content of The Strain. Numerous reviews spanning several months did nothing but bitch about how remote this series felt. Others of course disagreed, pouring love and adulation upon it oblivious to my concerns. Whilst […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 1 Episode 5 Review – ‘Exposed’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Scream: The TV Series… Webs of deceit are quickly unravelling this week in an episode where no one gets killed. Now I know the premise rests on someone regularly biting the dust, but every now and again it’s good to clean up. There are no film references or […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 3 Review – ‘Fort Defiance’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of The Strain season 2… After last week’s personal epiphany I am pleased to say things remain unchanged. Despite a lack of flashbacks The Strain retained a certain momentum, which unfortunately highlighted another problem. It became abundantly clear that Ephraim’s son is a royal pain in the arse. Now […]
Wayward Pines Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘The Reckoning’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Wayward Pines… In the penultimate episode of this ‘event drama’ things take a disturbing turn. With feelings running high, expectations weighting heavy upon Matt Dillon’s Ethan Burke and the towns folk out for blood, it was bound to turn nasty. As power starts slipping away from David Pilcher […]
Wayward Pines Season 1 Episode 10 Review – ‘Cycle’
Martin Carr reviews the season finale of Wayward Pines… This review has been started over three times now. I keep going back and deleting huge chunks of text because nothing feels right. Whether I am preoccupied or not it’s hard to say, but one thing is certain Wayward Pines deserves better. For a ‘mini drama’ […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘Aftermath’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Scream: The TV Series… It would be presumptuous of me to think that I have influence on the course of any programme, much less one like Scream: The TV Series. That strangest of all hybrids. An ironic genre mash-up, which itself was a deconstruction and revitalisation of the […]
