by

Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of The X-Files season 10… Past life trauma and theological notions of self are the focus for Mulder and Scully this week.

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 13 Review – ‘For The Girl Who Has Everything’

by

Martin Carr reviews the thirteenth episode of Supergirl… Feeling like a throwback to Alien and those programmes confident enough to put two people in a room for an hour with no action. Supergirl hit her stride yet again with pitched battles, comedic elements and alien parasites. Coupled with moments of pathos in an episode which […]

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 12 Review – ‘Bizarro’

by

Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Supergirl… Who cares what the tailoring’s like? Sharp suited or slovenly, dishevelled or dynamic. As someone once said those clothes don’t make the man.

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 11 Review – ‘Strange Visitor From Another Planet’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eleventh episode of Supergirl… Aside from the double-edged sword which is this week’s tagline. Supergirl manages to sneak in something far deeper than Melissa Benoist’s husband Blake Jenner. Not that his contribution fails to bring substance to the episode or Cat Grant’s adopted son Adam Foster. To be honest I had […]

The X-Files Season 10 Episode 3 Review – ‘Mulder and Scully Meet The Were-Monster’

by

Martin Carr reviews the third episode of The X-Files season 10… Sidestepping B-movie monster mash expectations. This weeks X-Files throws an antipodean spanner in the works, by casting Flight of The Concords Rhys Darby as an easy-going were-lizard. Who is bitten by a human, transformed into an everyday Joe and has compulsions which include working […]
