Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 10 Review – ‘Bedtime Story’

by

Martin Carr reviews the season two finale of Wayward Pines…The pigeons have come home to roost in a season finale which delivers where others have failed. Theological discussions about humanity, a person’s right for free choice and self-sacrifice fly around amongst emotional recriminations. With the inevitable threads beginning to unravel Patric finally steps up and […]

Preacher Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘El Valero’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Preacher…Things came to an intestinal head last week with El Valero’s combining form and one pissed off Preacher holed up in his chapel of love. Hallucinations, theological discussions and mad beggars on diggers turned episode eight into yet another what the hell happened sort of affair. Combining flashbacks […]

Scream Season 2 Episode 7 Review – ‘Let The Right One In’

by

Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Scream: The TV Series season 2…Unlike other shows Scream is a good old fashioned pastiche to its very marrow.

Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 7 Review – ‘Time Will Tell’

Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 8 Review – ‘Pass Judgement’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Wayward Pines season 2…This is a continuation of last week’s powder keg episode where Abbies had congregated outside the fence by the thousand. Inside remained a hot bed of in-fighting, finger pointing and slanderous exchanges. What episode eight gives us is more of the same except this time […]

Scream: The TV Series Season 2 Episode 6 Review – ‘Jeepers Creepers’

by

Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Scream: The TV Series season 2…Name checking torture porn slasher flicks has now become par for the course in Scream. Text messaging gifs, red herrings thrown into the mix in order to flummox your audience and creepy locations are all expected. Tongue in cheek voice over, subtle nods […]

Preacher Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘Sundowner’

by

Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Preacher…If you wanted an opening ten minutes from left field then ‘Sundowner’ supplies it in spades, body parts and screaming slapstick decapitation. Scrawny Irish kick ass action combines with female abuse, literal heavenly intervention and more wheedling of an axe than most shows have a right to advertise. […]
