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. Supergirl may gain the moral high ground through a careful choice of ethically and morally thematic storylines but still needs to retain its audience. Alien amnesty acts, […]
American Gods Season 2 Episode 7 Review – ‘Treasure of the Sun’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of American Gods season 2…Reincarnation, immortality and mythology converge in this penultimate episode which digs deeper into the ideas of tradition versus progress. War is coming, weapons are ready and combatants are converging while others rebel. Flashbacks are rife while an atmosphere of ruination and alcohol dominate throughout. There […]
Arrow Season 7 Episode 19 Review – ‘Spartan’
Jessie Robertson reviews the nineteenth episode of Arrow season 7…Arrow, unfortunately, is losing steam. It’s not just the notes out there in the ether about Arrow’s last season being season 8, and Felicity Smoak leaving the show at the end of this season. The Ninth Circle plot line feels like exactly it’s namesake; moving in […]
Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 2 Review – ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’
Eammon Jacobs reviews the second episode of Game of Thrones season 8…After Game of Thrones‘ premiere episode reunited a sprawling list of characters to Winterfell to prepare for war, it was always going to be interesting to see how all these different character dynamics would work in a highly stressful situation. The threat of the […]
Video Game Review – World War Z
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 part […]

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. Initially […]

Book Review – The Possible World by Liese O’Halloran Schwarz
Michelle Herbert reviews The Possible World by Liese O’Halloran Schwarz…The Possible World is a book that is hard to pigeonhole, which is a good thing. It is a book that focuses on three protagonists, each with their own lives and stories which slowly shows how they are each connected. The Possible World, lets us think […]
Gotham Season 5 Episode 11 Review – ‘They Did What?’
Martin Carr reviews the penultimate episode of Gotham season 5…Rather than being engaging this penultimate episode feels calculated. Key characters never feel in abject danger, situations however frenetic never raise collective pulses, while Gotham feels strangely unthreatening. Whether that perceived danger comes from al Ghul’s daughter, a pneumatically enhanced Bane or the conspicuously absent Jeremiah […]
Comic Book Review – Transformers #3
Ricky Church reviews Transformers #3…The central mystery of Brainstorm’s murder takes a backseat as Transformers #3 features a lot of exposition as other characters are introduced. There’s a lack of tension given the way the second issue ended with an apparent assassination attempt on Megatron’s life, but in place of that is more world-building from Brian […]
