Martin Carr reviews the sixteenth episode of Supergirl… Everyone loves a hero almost as much as we like to see them fail. Whether in comic books or tabloid journalism there is nothing better for morale than a rags to riches story, which we construct and then help destroy. A human trait made real this week […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 14 Review – ‘This Ball of Mud and Meanness’
Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Gotham season 2… David Mazouz’s Bruce Wayne might look like a preppy who needs to get on the Mars Bar diet, but don’t let that cover fool you. Because this week he gets to exhibit his kick ass colours facing off against Matches Malone. A somewhat less monstrous […]

Gotham Season 2 Episode 12 Review – ‘Mr Freeze’
Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Gotham season 2… ‘Long is the way and hard, that out of Hell leads up to light’ (Milton ‘Paradise Lost’) I have procrastinated for too long. There is only so much pie and Oreo cookies one can eat before hitting critical mass. Therefore I find myself weighing up […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 13 Review – ‘A Dead Man Feels No Cold’
Martin Carr reviews the thirteenth episode of Gotham season 2… To say nothing of consequence happens this week in Gotham is selling the programme short. Sure there are no big plot reveals and very little action, but at the same time there are small touches which make you smile. Continuing as it does with the […]
Supergirl Season 1 Episode 14 Review – ‘Truth, Justice and The American Way’
Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Supergirl… All the best comic book fables have a moral tale at their centre. Whether you consider adages such as ‘with great power, comes great responsibility’, ‘absolute power corrupts absolutely’ or my personal favourite ‘dead or alive you’re coming with me’. They imply when done well that super […]
Supergirl Season 1 Episode 15 Review – ‘Solitude’
Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Supergirl… When you are dealing with a computer virus made flesh, who is the manifestation of a species designed to control technological systems for a whole planet expect two things. Firstly lots of big words and secondly a very long sentence. Now consider yourself introduced to Indigo the […]
Video Game Review – Homefront: The Revolution Closed Beta
Martin Carr reviews Homefront: The Revolution closed beta… Deep Silver Dambuster Studios have created something which I have played more than a few times. I appreciate that this was a closed beta of Homefront: The Revolution, but somehow my expectations were higher. As this beta was only available for three days my time on it […]
Video Game Review – Rocket League
Martin Carr reviews Rocket League… You’re in a huge stadium. Floodlights blaze down from atop vast scaffolding constructs encompassing an arena decked out in full regalia. People rev their engines in anticipation of that klaxon kicking off another adrenaline fuelled foot to the floor fiasco. Rocket League is foolishly simple yet savagely addictive from almost […]
The X-Files Season 10 Episode 6 Review – ‘My Struggle II’
Martin Carr reviews the season finale of The X-Files season 10… Now I’m no Chris Carter and can’t lay claim to his legacy. But if you’re going to have a two-part episode common sense dictates they follow each other. Sound advice under any circumstance yet completely ignored on this occasion. Leaving us with a finale […]
