Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Supergirl season 2… Alien weaponry, orientation realisation and some villainous back room chicanery are on the menu this week in Supergirl.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 6 Review – ‘Changing’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Supergirl season 2… There is some multifaceted meaning flying around in Supergirl this week. Alien parasites which bring to mind Carpenter’s classic horror team up with Kurt Russell, as well as a little Matrix homage and global warming pedestal preaching. Throw in a lot of coming out heart […]
Gotham Season 3 Episode 9 Review – ‘The Executioner’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Gotham season 3… There are elements here which bring to mind the televisual equivalent of Mega City One this week in Gotham. Vigilante justice and police brutality all in the name of law and order, make ‘The Executioner’ more than just another episodic police procedural. Verging at times […]
Supergirl Season 2 Episode 4 Review – ‘Survivors’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Gotham season 2… Sub-text in Supergirl has taken a step up this week with ‘Survivors’. Having always had one eye on the idea of difference and social expectations these themes are explored more sensitively but no more effectively in episode four. Hank tackles some personal issues, Kara learns […]
Gotham Season 3 Episode 8 Review – ‘Blood Rush’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Gotham season 3… Mind games, psychosis and mental imbalance are in order on Gotham this week, giving rise to the concise and punchy tag line which is ‘Blood Rush’.

The Strain Season 3 Episode 10 Review – ‘The Fall’
Martin Carr reviews the season 3 finale of The Strain… This is a finale in more than mere name. All bombast, hyper-reality and fisty cuffs at Mach five as an old man and even older bald fella with a sword battle each other Matrix style. Here then is the season closer for a series which […]
Gotham Season 3 Episode 7 Review – ‘The Red Queen’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Gotham season 3… And so the Lewis Carroll references continue into another week on Gotham which is getting more and more psychedelic, considerably less Dark Knight and noticeably more Clockwork Orange. With the final elements of Tetch’s storyline drawing to a close Gotham as a whole feels ever […]
The Strain Season 3 Episode 9 Review – ‘Do Or Die’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of The Strain season 3… The Strain is a pitch battle this week with stand up fights, swinging fists and artillery shells caught in slow motion arcs bouncing off concrete like Michael Bay choreographed pseudo gun porn. There are human moments and origin flashbacks but in the main we […]
Gotham Season 3 Episode 6 Review – ‘Follow the White Rabbit’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Gotham season 3… Let’s take a few moments to admire the film references present and correct within Gotham this week.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 3 Review – ‘Welcome To Earth’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Supergirl season 2… Supergirl is back in the room people. Any reservations I had last week about lacklustre performance were quickly quashed by the arrival of Lynda Carter. For those of a certain age, which includes me, she was Wonder Woman long before Gal Gadot was so much […]
