TV Review – The Nevers
Martin Carr reviews HBO’s The Nevers… With Oscar nominees on production design and behind the camera, this Penny Dreadful throwback comes with pedigree.

Video Game Review – Before Your Eyes
Shaun Munro reviews Before Your Eyes… Affecting, character-driven drama is undermined by a clumsy central gameplay conceit in the well-intentioned yet only partially successful new indie “experience” Before Your Eyes. Said conceit is nothing if not daring, though – to shepherd players forward by using their own eye blinks as inputs, which the game tracks […]
Amazon Review – Them
Martin Carr reviews the new Amazon original series Them… This is a savage piece of television. It pulls no punches, spares no horses and is relentlessly unsettling without resorting to cliché. Showrunner Little Marvin seems intent on making audiences squirm. By putting them in the shoes of marginalised minorities, such as the Emory family, this […]
