American Gods Season 3 Episode 2 Review – ‘Serious Moonlight’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of American Gods season 3…Episode two might possess the formidable presence of Ian McShane’s Odin, but beyond that Serious Moonlight treads water. Visual flourishes prove distracting but ultimately story seems to be in stasis. Aside from a gathering of Gods fronted by Peter Stormare’s Czernobog things are decidedly lacklustre. Vaguely clandestine meetings on rooftops involving Shadow […]

Apple TV+ Review – Servant Season 2
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 Dorothy […]
