Matt Rodgers reviews the second episode of Jessica Jones season 2… It hasn’t taken long for Jessica Jones to press the reset button, for we find her propping up a bar, experiencing flashbacks of Dr. Kozlov’s lab, and having sex with a stranger in a toilet stall.

Black Lightning Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘Equinox: The Book of Fate’
Red Stewart reviews the seventh episode of Black Lightning… This week’s episode of Black Lightning, if not being an entirely good entry, was at least proof that the writers are slowly correcting their past mistakes.

The Flash Season 4 Episode 15 Review – ‘Enter Flashtime’
Jessie Robertson reviews the fifteenth episode of The Flash season 4… “Flashtime” in case you’re not familiar with this vernacular, is the time in when Barry can touch another person and almost pull them into the Speed Force when time is slowing down, ala Iris at the courthouse.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Episode 13 Review – ‘No Country for Old Dads’
Jessie Robertson reviews the thirteenth episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow season 3… This was another (mostly) insulated episode that basically starred Damien Darhk, Norah and Ray basically on a hilarious side mission while the team mostly stayed ship-side.
