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 […]
Preacher Season 1 Episode 1 Review – ‘Pilot’
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Preacher… If Tarantino did comic book adaptations Preacher would surely be at the top of his wish list. Frenetically shocking, blood soaked yet concise, what remains the biggest surprise in its opening minutes are Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg. For men who are more associated with Judd Apatow, […]
Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 1 Review – ‘Enemy Lines’
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Wayward Pines season 2… There are a few problems following success. First thing is how to repeat that without copying beat for beat whatever came before. Your options are limited and involve calculated risk, plain risk or reinvention. From a network perspective the latter is a non-starter as […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 22 Review – ‘Transference’
Martin Carr reviews the season 2 finale of Gotham… With a fire and ice standoff, Russian roulette question and answer sessions and Gordon bound in the basement, Gotham’s finale ‘Transference’ was shaping up to be an interesting proposition. What felt a bit odd though was the lack of finality about the season closer, bearing in […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 20 Review – ‘Unleashed’
Martin Carr reviews the twentieth episode of Gotham season 2… Even though I am over a week behind with Gotham it is moving so fast this barely seems to matter. Azrael or Galavan depending upon your point of view remains at large unleashing all types of trouble for all concerned. What James Frain gets to […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 21 Review – ‘A Legion of Horribles’
Martin Carr reviews the twenty-first episode of Gotham season 2… Back in the saddle and circling the wagons is how I can best describe my position right now. With the re-emergence of a person we thought ourselves well rid of Gotham throws another spanner in the works. To reveal is to spoil but suffice to […]
Supergirl Season 1 Episode 20 Review – ‘Better Angels’
Martin Carr reviews the season finale of Supergirl season 1… Once more I find myself late to the party. A week behind on finale analysis after all that dust has settled and we stand in the aftermath of Supergirl Mark II. As ever it was work which put pay to deadlines, but that would be […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 19 Review – ‘Azrael’
Martin Carr reviews the nineteenth episode of Gotham season 2… Gotham is turning into a spider web. Multiple plotlines, character threads and so many balls in the air, it makes every episode an interesting proposition. With the emergence of a brainwashed ex-Mayor of Gotham running rampant in forged steel armour, James Frain finally gets to […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 18 Review – ‘Pinewood’
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? All backlit, reptilian mandible about two feet long with seriously sharp talons attached? That one. In term of moments on film it ranks with the boy on a tricycle […]
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. That’s not to say there’s no drama, just no big finish. It uses flashback to expand on a deep bond between […]
