Gotham Season 4 Episode 7 Review – ‘A Day in the Narrows’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Gotham season 4… That Bruce Wayne finally turns into a socialite bad ass this episode is to be celebrated. Combine that with the turning of the tide within Gotham’s GCPD and episode seven is definitely down and dirty. Bloodletting, police brutality and dream sequence beatings all feed into […]
Arrow Season 6 Episode 4 Review – ‘Reversal’
Jessie Robertson reviews the fourth episode of Arrow season 6… On Diggle’s 2nd mission, Oliver flies co-pilot and a mysterious baddie is revealed!

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Episode 4 – ‘Phone Home’
Jessie Robertson reviews the fourth episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow season 3… Legends basically parodies (?) ET and it’s marvelous.

Red Dwarf XII Episode 4 Review – ‘Mechocracy’
Villordsutch reviews Red Dwarf XII – Mechocracy… After last week’s Red Dwarf XII “Timewave” in which our favourite sci-fi/comedy show took a serious nosedive, switching on the latest offering from Doug Naylor (again on writing and directing duties) is taken with a wee bit of trepidation. However come the close of Mechocracy all my negative […]
