Jessie Robertson reviews the third episode of Arrow season 5… “Green Arrow Brooding” is so last season; “Mayor Brooding” is now trending….. Trust is a tricky thing; it’s something Oliver doesn’t give or take lightly; he can’t; live through what he has and you would be the same way. We’re getting a sense of that […]

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.

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 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 lines […]
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.

Video Game Review – Plantera
Andy O’Flaherty reviews Plantera… It’s all Cookie Clicker‘s fault. Since its release in 2013 we have seen a massive influx of the ‘incremental’ or ‘clicker’ – a fairly basic genre of video game that tasks (and I use that term loosely) the player to perform simple tasks to acquire some sort of in-game currency. The […]
