Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Wayward Pines season 2… Let’s get this out the way now. Wayward Pines is not living up to my expectations. Season two is a rudderless ship adrift on an ocean of threadbare plot lines. Tom Stevens as Jason Higgins is stuck in a thankless situation where he must […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 2 Episode 4 Review – ‘Happy Birthday To Me’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Scream: The TV Series season 2… Every time I watch this programme there is no avoiding the guilty pleasure it gives me. Scream is the old school 90210 of teen dramas, where actors clearly over twenty wander around looking anguished with a charge card. There is such joy […]
Preacher Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘Monster Swamp’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Preacher… Good god I love this show! Now I’m not one for exclamation marks or a massive outpouring of emotion, but Preacher has lit a fire under me which refuses to go out. There is an air of justified arrogance and self-assurance which few other shows have managed […]
Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 3 Review – ‘Once Upon a Time in Wayward Pines’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Wayward Pines season 2… Building character, creating backstory and broadening the creative canvas sounds pretentious mainly because it is. Before any of that other stuff can be done you have to make people care about something. Conjure up a person who is defined by dominance, instills fear but […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 2 Episode 3 Review – ‘Vacancy’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Scream: The TV Series season 2… Apart from it sounding like an old thriller set in a motel, episode three of Scream is heading in a decent direction. Take away the plotline which is being dragged out concerning Jake and things are ticking over nicely. Meanwhile if we […]
Preacher Season 1 Episode 3 Review – ‘Possibilities’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Preacher… Trying to categorise Preacher on Amazon Prime is difficult. There are moments of pure From Dusk Till Dawn and others that veer into Coen territory. It’s like someone took elements of both and decided to go dark with it, by which I mean pitch black of course. […]
Preacher Season 1 Episode 2 Review – ‘See’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Preacher… Preacher might well turn into a landmark series for AMC. Nothing has started out with this level of confidence so early on and delivered. Between Joseph Gilgun, Ruth Negga and Dominic Cooper we have a casting call anointed from on high. Combining assurance of character, solid dialogue […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 2 Episode 2 Review – ‘Psycho’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Scream: The TV Series season 2… If Scream had been entertaining this week or even mildly diverting, then it may have deserved to steal Hitchcock’s title. If there had been some decent progressions, diversionary bloodletting and clever segues this conversation might have been different. However what ‘Psycho’ […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 2 Episode 1 Review – ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Scream: The TV Series season 2… Funded by Netflix but carrying the MTV logo Scream emerges from the rubble of season one where it earned renewal, with some serious backing and bulked up production value. Now it resides on the cable equivalent of HBO, we get a full […]
Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 2 Review – ‘Blood Harvest’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Wayward Pines season 2… I was wrong and admit it. Whatever my misgivings about last week’s opener things have changed down in Wayward Pines. That needless re-tread which constituted episode one, left no time for progression, proved noticeably useless and removed any tension with devastating efficiency. There was […]
