Hank tackles some personal issues, Kara learns tolerance […]

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 has […]
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.

The Strain Season 3 Episode 9 Review – ‘Do Or Die’

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.

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 home […]
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.
