As Servant draws in rave reviews and reminds the world what M. Night Shyamalan has hidden in his wheelhouse, Martin Carr recently sat down with him to talk shop. Engaging, informed and truly passionate about every you could imagine Shyamalan opened up on casting, filming and where this sits amongst his back catalogue…. First of […]
Crisis On Infinite Earths – Part One Review
Martin Carr reviews Part One of Crisis On Infinite Earths… Featuring a plethora of characters from across numerous properties this opener sets up imminent threat, multiple realities and enough fan favourite moments to keep you guessing. In a matter of minutes it jumps between various versions to touch base with differing deviations of our familiar […]
Watchmen Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘A God Walks into Abar’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Watchmen… Imagine taking one location and two characters then stretching that meeting over an hour of screen time. Using the premise as your foundation why not throw in multiple timelines, theological digressions and a spot of biblical creation for good measure. Consider touching on preordained destiny, simultaneous dimensions […]
TV Review – Servant Season 1
Martin Carr reviews season one of M. Night Shyamalan’s Servant… We have certain expectations from M. Night Shyamalan when it comes to feature films or television. There should be a guaranteed twist, an ambiguous psychological segue as well as some topical food for thought. He is a writer director with very specific requirements who consistently […]
His Dark Materials Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘The Daemon Cages’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of His Dark Materials… Imagine if someone could strip you of your imagination. That fundamental characteristic which is unique to everyone and helps decipher, define and concrete our point of view from birth. As individual as finger prints more personal than memory and capable of interpreting abstract notions, creating […]
Supergirl Season 5 Episode 8 Review – ‘The Wrath of Rama Khan’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Supergirl season 5… This might be the warm up episode prior to cross over shenanigans but it still comes across as copy book stuff. Numerous stand offs happening simultaneously make things entertaining but ultimately predictable. Inadequate gods fail spectacularly to raise the ocean floor or destroy our resident […]
Watchmen Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘An Almost Religious Awe’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Watchmen… From Blaxploitation homage to Balboa boxing soundtrack via the Godfather of Soul, Watchmen has it all. Intricately detailed infomercials give way to multiple protagonists who merge, meld and exchange timelines without leaving the room. Past and present are revealed simultaneously whilst the conundrum of Doctor Manhattan overshadows […]
His Dark Materials Series 1 Episode 5 Review – ‘The Lost Boy’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of His Dark Materials… There is something fundamentally sacrilegious under discussion between the lines in The Lost Boy which has little to do with burgeoning relationships. By separating mind and body from other more theological elements Pullman raises one of life’s great questions. If we exist inside a body […]
Watchmen Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘This Extraordinary Being’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Watchmen… It is fundamental that any fans of ground breaking television watch this show. Few programmes can consistently surprise, narratively challenge and promote debate so readily. It remains visually audacious, topically on point and unrelenting in its ability to make audiences re-evaluate, before ripping up the rule book […]
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. Verbal exposition has taken away some of the majesty which the BBC and Jack Thorne have conjured, leaving events conspicuously condensed. Consistent production design still ensures […]
