Supergirl Season 1 Episode 20 Review – ‘Better Angels’

Better Call Saul Season 2 Episode 10 Review – ‘Klick’
Martin Carr reviews the tenth episode of Better Call Saul season 2… For season finales this is a weird one. There is no resolution, there is no big finish, in fact there’s just continuation.

Martin Carr reviews the eighteenth episode of Gotham season 2… Does anyone remember that moment from Total Recall when Arnie’s cab driver removes his false arm?

Kirsty Capes reviews the second season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt… Starring Ellie Kemper, Tituss Burgess, Sam Page, Ki Hong Lee, Dylan Gelula, Jane Krasowski, Mike Carlsen, Lisa Kudrow and Jeff Goldblum. This time last year I wrote a rather scathing review of Netflix’s new Tina Fey comedy, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I called it stale and unbecoming, and mildly […]

Kris Wall reviews the fourth episode of Banshee season 4… We’re at the halfway point of Banshee’s final run now, and I’ll be honest I’m getting a little worried.
