Supergirl Season 4 Episode 14 Review – ‘Stand and Deliver’
Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Supergirl season 4… Few programmes can lay claim to underpinning their plot lines with politics.

Gotham Season 5 Episode 9 Review – ‘The Trial of Jim Gordon’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Gotham season 5… There is nothing more melodramatic than a dream sequence.
