The Flash Season 5 Episode 19 Review – ‘Snow Pack’

by

Jessie Robertson reviews the nineteenth episode of The Flash season 5… After last week’s power punch of an episode, focused on Nora’s lie being exposed and Barry’s fairly harsh reaction to it, this week, we get a mish-mash of multiple storylines going on at once, making “Snow Pack” a clunky mess. There’s a lot of […]

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 18 Review – ‘Crime and Punishment’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighteenth episode of Supergirl season 4… High minded wannabes will jump on the Dostoyevsky reference considering the Russian connection but there comparisons should stop.

The threat of […]

Video Game Review – World War Z

by

Scott Watson reviews World War Z… I have to admit to being caught completely off guard with Saber Interactive’s World War Z game.  It feels like it’s come from out of nowhere like one of its rampant zombie swarms, so low key has the marketing seemed to be.  I think however, having spent a good […]

Line of Duty Series 5 Episode 4 Review

by

Eammon Jacobs reviews the fourth episode of Line of Duty series 5… After the previous episode left viewers on a dangerous cliffhanger, we finally discover what happened when undercover copper John Corbett broke into Hastings’ estranged wife’s flat, and it’s not pretty. When Ted sees her brutal injuries, his reaction is staggered throughout the episode. […]
