Martin Carr reviews the second season of Servant… There is an inherent theatricality to Servant which makes it unique. Mainly limited to a single location and viewing the outside world through televisions or smart phones, it remains intentionally two dimensional. By restricting the principle players to an opulent brownstone townhouse, audiences become vicarious observers on its occupants […]

Marvel’s WandaVision – Episode 2 Review
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Marvel’s WandaVision… The Stepford Wife façade which underpins episode two is stranger for its adherence to normality than anything else. West View feels like an intricately constructed Norman Rockwell township, where everything is perfectly polished. Where neighbourhood watch meetings and small-town talent contests take precedence over anything else. Thankfully […]

Marvel’s WandaVision – Episode 1 Review
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Marvel’s WandaVision… There is something deceptively simple about WandaVision, which will wrongfoot audiences from the outset. On the surface this is a picture-perfect picket fence pastiche of Americana, defined by outmoded gender roles, canned laughter and two-dimensional farce. What makes it intriguing is the idea of placing two franchise favourites within this contemporary society, then watching them […]
