Martin Carr reviews the third episode of The Boys season 1… If Superman started ripping out body parts rather than locking up criminals people might notice. On the other hand if landlords had their heads burst like a melon, whilst accepting sexual bribes from money strapped female tenants chances are nothing happens. Those and other […]
The Boys Season 1 Episode 2 Review – ‘Cherry’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of The Boys season 1… And so we begin to dig a little deeper as those superhero gloves come off and The Boys cranks things up a notch. Body morphing blackmail, lactating corporate heads and C4 enemas count among the more diverting elements unveiled in episode two. Yet there […]
Preacher Season 4 Episode 2 Review – ‘Last Supper’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Preacher season 4… If your sensibilities are flexible enough to stomach crispy calamari being intercut with bloodied bags of fresh Irish foreskin then welcome to episode two. If you also think impertinent questions require hand grenades, boxes and political leaders in that order this might also be considered […]
Preacher Season 4 Episode 1 Review – ‘Masada’
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Preacher season 4…. That swagger and arrogant confidence which comes with a certain level of certainty is back. As Rogen, Goldberg and Catlin turn the screw one more time we are welcomed back into a world of penile torture, incarcerated angels and helmet headed dictators. Couple that with […]
The Boys Season 1 Episode 1 Review – ‘The Name of the Game’
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of The Boys… If this fails to light a fire under the arse of every executive in every writers room across Los Angeles sack them now. Ever since someone leaked a Deadpool test which then turned into an R rated cinematic freight train people have been trying to replicate […]
Black Mirror Season 5 Review – ‘Striking Vipers’
Martin Carr reviews Black Mirror’s Striking Vipers… Charlie Brooker might be frenetic, prone to tangential leaps of inspiration and talking a mile a minute, but there is no way you could call the man boring. Video games, virtual reality and gender politics might seem like strange bedfellows, but somehow he draws it all together whilst […]
Black Mirror Season 5 Review – ‘Rachel, Jack and Ashley, Too’
Martin Carr reviews Black Mirror’s Rachel, Jack and Ashley, Too… Apart from the syntactic call back to a sweet natured provincial sex comedy worked into that title, this episode focuses on grief and how we process it. Similar thematically to Smithereens, Brooker explores the coping mechanisms we all employ and what comes from that. He […]
Black Mirror Season 5 Review – ‘Smithereens’
Martin Carr reviews Black Mirror’s Smithereens… There is an immediacy and rawness to this opening salvo which strips away any big budget gloss, any fanciful locations and merely focuses on character. London late last year is as drab, grey and soulless as the colour palette allows while a washed out Andrew Scott ferries people around […]
Good Omens Season 1 Finale Review – ‘The Last Day of the Rest of Their Lives’
Martin Carr reviews the season 1 finale of Good Omens… Cloven hoofed wreckers of military might, quartets of apocalyptic fury and bath tubs of blessed water all figure in this figurative finale to Good Omens. Simultaneously divine and hellishly pleasurable, it carries as much emotional heft as it does delicate moments of character reconciliation. A […]
Good Omens Season 1 Episode 5 Review – ‘The Doomsday Option’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Good Omens… Burning Bentleys, ring roads aflame and psychic charlatans absorbing celestial bodies are just some of the oddities which populate this penultimate episode as Armageddon warms up in the wings. With hells angels riding four abreast and causing convergences north of London, while witch finder sergeant majors […]
