The Orville Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘If The Stars Should Appear’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of The Orville… There are scant moments of genuine humour this week in an episode which feels like someone kicked into autopilot. ‘If The Stars Should Appear’ is a by the numbers Star Trek mission which verges on cliché rather than pastiche. For once the limited run time hampers […]
Mr. Mercedes Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘Ice Cream, You Scream, We All Scream’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Mr. Mercedes… There are whispers around the campfire that David E Kelley might be in contention for an Emmy award.

Gotham Season 4 Episode 2 Review – ‘The Fear Reaper’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Gotham season 4… R-rated post watershed territory is still in full effect this week following up that meaty season four opener.

Young Sheldon Season 1 Episode 1 Review
Martin Carr reviews the premiere episode of Young Sheldon… Anyone old enough to remember The Wonder Years will feel a pang of nostalgia having finished the Young Sheldon pilot.

The Orville Season 1 Episode 3 Review – ‘About a Girl’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of The Orville… Online entertainment sites seem more concerned with the impact of Thursday night football on The Orville than anything else.

Mr. Mercedes Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘Willow Lake’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Mr. Mercedes… Harry Treadaway lurks under the bed of your collective unconscious hacking into those thoughts we prefer people keep to themselves. Brady Hartsfield is the culmination of sexual congress, incestuous transgressions and borderline foster care upbringing. Blessed with a high IQ, limited social skills and a psychotic […]
The Strain Season 4 Episode 10 Review – ‘The Last Stand’
Martin Carr reviews the season four – and series – finale of The Strain… That things come to an end is a fact of life.

Gotham Season 4 Episode 1 Review – ‘Pax Penguina’
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Gotham season 4… Unionisation is on the cards in episode one of this new season where they cranked up their scare factor, branched out into Roman allegory and teased an intriguing villain.

Mr. Mercedes Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘People in the Rain’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Mr. Mercedes… Darkness seeps between the cracks ushering in another kink this week as back story, dark fantasy and parental manipulation are all on show.
