Mark Twain once wrote that “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured”, which is true and a lesson the residents of the titular town of Ebbing, Missouri will come to realize.

Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Marvel’s Inhumans… It has taken five weeks for Inhumans to amount to more than a fragmented mess of scenes, effects and paper-thin character arcs.
