Martin Carr reviews the eleventh episode of Daredevil season 3… Atonement has been practiced for hundreds of years. Since the idea of a deity existed and original sin recognised, people have been trying to avoid atoning wherever possible. However without the moral compass of one character in particular this week things could have turned out […]
Supergirl Season 4 Episode 3 Review – ‘Man of Steel’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Supergirl season 4… This may yet be the bravest episode in the run so far. Jumping between timelines, back tracking through seasons and carrying a narrative line which is both unconventional and contentious. ‘Man of Steel’ may be a nice play on words but it has nothing to […]
Kidding Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘Philliam’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Kidding… Kidding has decided to take the gloves off with two episodes left to run giving us backstory without directly stating it, contentious content minus the forewarning and Jim Carrey to balance tone. ‘Philliam’ might be a clever way to tell a tale from both sides, giving us […]
Daredevil Season 3 Episode 12 Review – ‘One Last Shot’
Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Daredevil season 3… Fight or flight refers to the basic instinct we all possess for self-preservation. An adrenaline shot administered on reflex where people either stand their ground or flee. In Daredevil terms this breaks down to kicking arse or using lawsuits and men in suits for legal […]
Daredevil Season 3 Episode 13 Review – ‘A New Napkin’
Martin Carr reviews the season 3 finale of Daredevil… This season has scaled heights that few if any Marvel Netflix joints have managed thus far. Each episode has surpassed the last adding action beats, theological discussions and tangible threat to solid performances throughout. Pints of claret, repeated pummelling and a true sense of empathy has […]
Supergirl Season 4 Episode 4 Review – ‘Ahimsa’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Supergirl season 4… Non-violent affirmative action is all well and good but implementing that, following that through and putting it into practice without repercussions is tricky. Trying to quell an uprising, underground movement or other extremist group in a time of civil unrest is a constant battle. This […]
Kidding Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘Lt. Pickles’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Kidding… Not many shows include a line like ‘my pussy needs attention’ while fewer still have people getting their throats cut by inept ice dancers as a finale. Neither does glove puppet sex or the need for puppets in bedrooms come up much under normal circumstances, but needlessly […]
Supergirl Season 4 Episode 5 Review – ‘Parasite Lost’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Supergirl season 4… There is nothing connecting this episode to the John Milton classic Paradise Lost. Hate groups, alien alienation and a spiralling increase in internet abuse towards immigrant interlopers seems the closest you get. Between the faith healers, fringe groups and lack of humanity shown by humans […]
Kidding Season 1 Finale Review – ‘Some Day’
Martin Carr reviews the season 1 finale of Kidding… As finales go this is a curveball, but then nothing about Kidding has ever been straightforward. Borne out of tragedy, defined by dysfunction and shot through with abstract notions of sexual deviancy it remains staggeringly original. From episode one the ground work for an emotionally stunted […]
Supergirl Season 4 Episode 6 Review – ‘Call to Action’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Supergirl season 4… Once again the segregationist attitude which pervades Supergirl leads to conflicting tonally shifts which deviates away from important topics appeasing audience expectations. Underlying themes are becoming less and less subtle as these programme makers explore, examine and dissect native sentiment versus immigrant influence. Not so […]
