Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Supergirl season 4… This episode belongs to Manchester Black. Sub-plots revolving round sleep deprivation and the incarceration of Agent Liberty might work effectively, but ‘Bunker Hill’ is all about that grey area inhabited by our own home grown vigilante. Between that and the hat tip to Joe and […]
Supergirl Season 4 Episode 9 Review – ‘Elseworlds Part 3’
Martin Carr reviews part 3 of The CW’s crossover event Elseworlds… Taken in isolation rather than part of the larger whole part three of this trilogy is both refreshing, exciting, action packed and inventive.

The Orville Season 2 Episode 1 Review – ‘Ja’loja’
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of The Orville season 2… Few writers can imbue the puerile with pathos, make micturition both emotive yet amusing and create forty minutes of engaging drama using bodily functions as their inspiration. Few that is apart from Seth MacFarlane who uses nothing more substantial to give us an opening […]
Gotham Season 5 Episode 1 Review – ‘Year Zero’
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Gotham season 5… Post-apocalyptic Gotham is not as was hoped full of odious surprises, cryptic villains and heavy fire power. Instead territories are carved up and ruled by influence, muscle, economics or sheer numbers. Cut off from civilisation and mustering forces in a constant battle for food, medicine, […]
The Orville Season 2 Episode 2 Review – ‘Primal Urges’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of The Orville season 2… There is a sensitivity, skill and structural balance at work here which demonstrates what continues to make The Orville so special.

Daredevil Season 3 Episode 7 Review – ‘Aftermath’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Daredevil season 3… As Fisk continues to tighten his noose there is an emotional circling of wagons, interrogations which cast aspersions and psychological mind games running rampant.
