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. On soundtrack duties we get a George Michael classic, moments of Mozart and smatterings of the Planet Suite by Holst. […]

Watchmen Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘If You Don’t Like My Story, Write Your Own’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Watchmen…There are numerous elements to episode four which raise questions.

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.

Watchmen Season 1 Episode 3 Review – ‘She Was Killed by Space Junk’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Watchmen…Never has an episode which hinges on one answerphone message been so compelling.
