Young Sheldon Season 1 Episode 21 Review – ‘Summer Sausage, a Pocket Poncho, and Tony Danza’

by

Martin Carr reviews the twenty-first episode of Young Sheldon… Montana Jordan and Raegan Revord have been overlooked in Young Sheldon. Not only a thought with acres of evidence but an assertion fully loaded with an array of examples listed A through F. That Chuck Lorre and company recognise this and use nineteen minutes to rectify […]

Gotham Season 4 Episode 20 Review – ‘That Old Corpse’

by

Martin Carr reviews the twentieth episode of Gotham season 4…   Grave side vigils, psychotic twin siblings and full scale riots inside the GCPD are only a few elements of ‘That Old Corpse’. With split personalities Jerome and Jeremiah as flip sides of the same coin, Gotham contains a singular performance better suited to cinema […]

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 17 Review – ‘Trinity’

by

Martin Carr reviews the seventeenth episode of Supergirl season 3… Beyond the dictionary definitions of Trinity which touch on both religious symbolism and more specifically Christian scripture there is an inference of unity. A state of being where three individual parts make a whole and therefore create balance. Pestilence, Purity and Reign represent that twisted […]

Young Sheldon Season 1 Finale Review – ‘Vanilla Ice-Cream, Gentleman Callers, and a Dinette’

by

Martin Carr reviews the season finale of Young Sheldon… Taking quirky up a notch by focusing on the dessert choices of physicist Richard Fineman before seguing into courtship rituals amongst Texan widows, Young Sheldon maintains its batting average. Employing off beat character moments there is unintentional humour by way of intellectual awkwardness and an emotional […]

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 18 Review – ‘Shelter from the Storm’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighteenth episode of Supergirl season 3… There are no Dylanesque overtones to this episode whatever that tagline might suggest. For the occupants of National City there will be no ‘Shelter from the Storm’ as Reign goes on a rampage looking for that final shred of humanity keeping Sam alive. However beneath […]

Gotham Season 4 Finale Review – ‘No Man’s Land’

by

Martin Carr reviews the season 4 finale of Gotham… Gunshot paralysis, cold blooded revenge and Martial Law await any and all who venture into No Man’s Land this week. Gotham has morphed into a battleground rife with vigilantes, ripe for turf war and filled with recriminations. Elements of The Killing Joke, moments of Ledger bleeding […]

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 19 Review – ‘The Fanatical’

by

Martin Carr reviews the nineteenth episode of Supergirl season 3… Beyond minor parental issues, confusion concerning dual identities and cultists stealing Krypton’s version of the Arsonists Handbook, Supergirl is straight forward this week. There are dramatic set pieces, unexpected bonding moments and a consistent level of acting across the board. Where things fall down is […]

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 20 Review – ‘Dark Side of the Moon’

by

Martin Carr reviews the twentieth episode of Supergirl season 3… Pink Floyd references aside this is pedestrian stuff which feels more like high end production padding than progression. Sub-plots feel like distractions, emotive exchanges like evasive manoeuvres while nothing dynamic occurs. This maybe the first time where Supergirl successfully drops a ball and fails to […]
