Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Watchmen… It is fundamental that any fans of ground breaking television watch this show.

His Dark Materials Series 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘Armour’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of His Dark Materials… There is something off about episode four which detracts from the considerable success this adaptation has enjoyed so far.

Watchmen Season 1 Episode 5 Review – ‘Little Fear of Lightning’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Watchmen… PTSD, solemn support groups and time travelling entrees are served up in abundance as Looking Glass gets some context, focus groups get pummelled and nostalgia comes in bottles.

Supergirl Season 5 Episode 5 Review – ‘Dangerous Liaisons’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Supergirl season 5… Episode five is treading water. Interest has merged with indifference in recent weeks as things show no intention of moving forward.
