Sparse in explanation and concise in characterisation it offers up no reasoning, backstory or circumstance for its central protagonist played by Maxine Peake. Taking an online […]

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 14 Review – ‘Schott Through the Heart’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Supergirl season 3… After the enforced hiatus which saw Supergirl disappear off our screens due to a scheduling clash, it is nice to have things back where they belong. Cheesy karaoke, shrink wrapped superheroes and marauding prehistoric animals run rampant in this return to form. Laurie Metcalf who […]

by

Young Sheldon Season 1 Episode 18 Review – ‘A Mother, a Child, and a Blue Man’s Backside’

Comic asides, chuck away one liners between characters and risqué moments which enrich rather than diminish any Sheldon centric situation. Perry and Armitage take great pleasure in stealing many of the best lines, while the latter proves his […]
