Supergirl Season 4 Episode 15 Review – ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Supergirl season 4… An ailing Lex Luthor should dominate this episode. A despicable Jon Cryer is introduced in flashback watching the world burn while Lena gets a grandstand view; think final moments of Fight Club without the split personality. Cryer plays it super sinister and has clearly done […]

by

Red Stewart reviews the season 2 finale of Black Lightning… What in the world happened to this show? I remember when the teaser trailer first debuted and, while I wouldn’t call it anything revolutionary, it was still an indication that this was going to be a good serial- The CW’s response to Luke Cage in some ways.
