Supergirl Season 2 Episode 15 Review – ‘Exodus’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Supergirl season 2… With the alien registry in enemy hands and Jeremiah seemingly playing both sides, Supergirl turns into an episode of familial feud, divided allegiances and bloodthirsty beat downs.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 12 Review – ‘Luthors’

by

Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Supergirl season 2… If Supergirl is about anything this week you would say groundwork.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 13 Review – ‘Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk’

by

Gotham Season 3 Episode 14 Review – ‘The Gentle Art of Making Enemies’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Gotham season 3… As all the disparate strands coalesce into a singular whole of villainy in this winter finale, Gotham gets grandiose, creates conclusion and makes season three worth an entrance fee.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 11 Review – ‘The Martian Chronicles’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eleventh episode of Supergirl season 2… Familial relationships, thick and fast film homage and a good old fashioned fire fight combine to make ‘The Martian Chronicles’ an engaging addition in an already well received second season.
