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. First we have The Matrix which I am not even going to explain because it gives me no pleasure in pointing out the obvious. Secondly however we have […]
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 […]
The Strain Season 3 Episode 8 Review – ‘White Light’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of The Strain season 3… Slowly strands are beginning to intertwine as flashbacks become more familiar, interactions more fraught and family ties are severed in a search for closure. The Strain has become what few thought possible, morphing as it has into an allegorical testament to some of our […]
Scream: The TV Series Halloween Special Review
Martin Carr reviews the Scream: The TV Series Halloween Special… There is something distinctly old school about this feature film length Scream special which is reassuring, run of the mill but nonetheless engaging stuff. Acting as a bridge between seasons two and three, this here is proper haunted house, isolated island cliché with lashings of […]
Gotham Season 3 Episode 4 Review – ‘New Day Rising’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Gotham season 3… There is a pervading darkness which constitutes the beating heart of this season’s Gotham. It may be tag lined ‘Mad City’, but you need some truly off the chain inhabitants for that to really ring true. In Benedict Samuel’s Hatter we have one amongst many. […]
Supergirl Season 2 Episode 2 Review – ‘The Last Children of Krypton’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Supergirl season 2… Unfortunately episode two of season two is copybook stuff. After that barnstormer however anything was likely to feel like an anti-climax, but somehow I expected more than this. Not there is anything particularly bad about ‘The Last Children of Krypton’, just that they give us […]
Gotham Season 3 Episode 5 Review – ‘Anything For You’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Gotham season 3… Gotham’s web is spreading wider. If ‘Rise of the Villains’ foreshadowed, gave cohesion and made Gotham a viable viewing proposition, then ‘Mad City’ is shaping up to be the perfect companion piece. There appears to be no episodic structure rather a meandering combination of plot […]
