American Gods Season 2 Finale Review – ‘Moon Shadow’

by

Martin Carr reviews American Gods’ season 2 finale… Belief is strange as it ceases to be believed if people cease to believe in it. Adversely knowledge stems from experimentation and morphs into fact, while faith depends on interpretation leaving room for charlatans, tricksters and con artists. Media outlets either terrestrial, digital or radio harbour the […]

Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3 Review – ‘The Long Night’

by

Eammon Jacobs reviews the third episode of Game of Thrones season 8… *Spoiler Warning* Valar morghulis, all men must die. And the third episode really did prove the iconic phrase as the threat of the White Walkers and the Night King overwhelm Winterfell. As it starts, Sam is basically the audience’s viewpoint; nervous and pacing […]

Line of Duty Series 5 Episode 5 Review

by

Eammon Jacobs reviews the fifth episode of Line of Duty Series 5… As the fifth series prepares for a feature length finale, all the evidence is pointing in one direction; Ted Hastings. It’s piling up so much in fact, that it’s too overwhelming – there’s no way he can be ‘H’. However, this episode keeps […]

Comic Book Review – Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Vol. 1

by

Sam Thorne reviews Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Volume 1… I think it’s fair to say in retrospect that the first season of Jody Whittaker’s tenure as Doctor Who was somewhat of a mixed bag. More than anything else, it seemed that there were too many companions and not enough screentime meaning that every character, […]

Comic Book Review – Bloodshot Special FCBD 2019

by

Sam Thorne reviews Bloodshot Special FCBD 2019… Free Comic Book Day is an absolutely great way to advertise a new series, particularly when that series has a related movie coming out the year after starring Vin Diesel. The brooding man with the crimson patch is due to burst into cinemas in 2020, thus it’s not […]

Video Game Review – Mortal Kombat 11

by

Shaun Munro reviews Mortal Kombat 11… NetherRealm Studios has rightly carved out a fine rep for themselves in recent years as the developers of the most meticulous, ambitious and holistic fighting games on the market, as cemented with the release of 2017’s incredible Injustice 2. And while Mortal Kombat 11 feels like a slightly more complacent package […]

Gotham Season 5 Finale Review – ‘The Beginning…’

by

Martin Carr reviews Gotham’s season 5 finale… With the recent release of a Pennyworth prequel trailer it seems apt that we bid farewell to Gotham. Like the bastard child of Christopher Nolan’s almost flawless reinvention, Gotham was greeted with derision from day one and yet has proven tenuously entertaining. Despite consistently low ratings it has […]

The Orville Season 2 Finale Review – ‘The Road Not Taken’

by

Martin Carr reviews The Orville’s season 2 finale… Something happens this week which fundamentally challenges audience expectations, alters dramatic intention and makes season two a benchmark. Impossibly we are introduced to a whole new show that feels unlike anything The Orville has done before. Somehow the gloss has been removed, somehow these actors have not […]
