Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of The Orville season 2… To say that Seth MacFarlane is taking a sideswipe at astrology and more specifically those who hold stock in such predictions is selling him short.

Gotham Season 5 Episode 4 Review – ‘Ruin’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth of Gotham season 5… There are unforeseen alliances, accusations and aspersions, stand offs and name calling not to mention some unsavoury romantic entanglements this week.

Black Lightning Season 2 Episode 10 Review – ‘The Book of Rebellion: Chapter Three: Angelitos Negros’
Red Stewart reviews the tenth episode of Black Lightning season 2… Despite all the praise I’ve heaped on the cast in past episodes (particularly towards Marvin ‘Krondon’ Jones III and Jordan Calloway), I don’t think I’ve ever singled out China Anne McClain for her performance.

Shaun Munro reviews The Hong Kong Massacre… Hotline Miami just had a baby with Max Payne, and its name is The Hong Kong Massacre.
