Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of The Orville season 1… Buried beneath the sight gags, latex make up and tag team chemistry of ‘Krill’ sits a moral message. For five episodes the villainy at this programme’s centre has remained vague and ambiguous. As a species The Krill have been alluded to but there was […]
Gotham Season 4 Episode 4 Review – ‘The Demon’s Head’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Gotham season 4… Sacrificial knife inscriptions, steamy liaisons with criminal femme fatales and an immortal foe with a man dog from the afterlife are just a few things which feature in ‘The Demon’s Head’. Couple that with an absent minded Riddler, overly paranoid kingpin Penguin and an irate […]
Supergirl Season 3 Episode 1 Review – ‘Girl of Steel’
Martin Carr reviews the season three premiere of Supergirl… This opener has a familiarity, hard edge and darkness which instantly brings it to life. Following directly on from Mon-El’s departure Kara is isolating herself off from family and friends, focusing solely on Supergirl. After the Daxamite destruction which crowned season two National City tycoons are […]
Mr. Mercedes Season 1 Finale Review – ‘Jibber-Jibber Chicken Dinner’
Martin Carr reviews the Mr. Mercedes season 1 finale… As far as finales go this is strong stuff held together by grizzly dream sequences, psychotic Professor X wannabes and some nasty knife work. We get to see placebo pills being popped, Hodges floating around unconvinced by the death of his arch nemesis while a half […]
The Orville Season 1 Episode 5 Review – ‘Pria’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of The Orville… After the mediocre effort from last week ‘Pria’ represents a return to form for The Orville. Kicking off with a snippet of Seinfeld before segueing into some bridge banter, MacFarlane quickly establishes situation, character and central friction by roping in a former co-star. Oscar-winning and clearly […]
Marvel’s Inhumans Season 1 Episode 3 Review – ‘Divide and Conquer’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Marvel’s Inhumans… Having established the majestic setting and regal qualities of this royal family before undermining it with mutiny, Inhumans has put firm foundations. Episode three only carries on these themes as further plotting, social manipulation and infighting continues. What we have here then is a comic book tent […]
Gotham Season 4 Episode 3 Review – ‘They Who Hide Behind Masks’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Gotham season 4… According to those in the know Gotham hit bottom last week with an abysmal showing. Audience numbers are apparently down, interest is waning and those in network television land are ready to hammer that final nail home. Although there would be those inclined to agree […]
Mr. Mercedes Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘From the Ashes’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Mr. Mercedes… Karma has a way of coming back and biting you in the arse. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you otherwise beware the consequences. Words Brady Hartsfield should heed in future before he decides to go around blowing people up. He reminds […]
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. Mr. Mercedes has made a lot of noise with the focus on character, slow burn approach and uncompromising attitude towards its source material. Harry Treadaway and Brendan Gleeson […]
