Martin Carr reviews the season finale of Supergirl season 1… Once more I find myself late to the party. A week behind on finale analysis after all that dust has settled and we stand in the aftermath of Supergirl Mark II. As ever it was work which put pay to deadlines, but that would be […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 19 Review – ‘Azrael’
Martin Carr reviews the nineteenth episode of Gotham season 2… Gotham is turning into a spider web. Multiple plotlines, character threads and so many balls in the air, it makes every episode an interesting proposition. With the emergence of a brainwashed ex-Mayor of Gotham running rampant in forged steel armour, James Frain finally gets to […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 18 Review – ‘Pinewood’
Martin Carr reviews the eighteenth episode of Gotham season 2… Does anyone remember that moment from Total Recall when Arnie’s cab driver removes his false arm? All backlit, reptilian mandible about two feet long with seriously sharp talons attached? That one. In term of moments on film it ranks with the boy on a tricycle […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 17 Review – ‘Into The Woods’
Martin Carr reviews the seventeenth episode of Gotham season 2… Episode seventeen entitled ‘Into The Woods’ has nothing to do Sondheim. There is no warbling, no Meryl Streep and mercifully no Johnny Depp looking shifty amongst the undergrowth. Instead we get gothic melodrama, boatloads of crazy and a showdown which is more Millers Crossing than […]
Supergirl Season 1 Episode 19 Review – ‘Myriad’
Martin Carr reviews the nineteenth episode of Supergirl… Mass extinction has always been a good subject for drama, because historically people have killed, maimed, destroyed and segregated without compunction. Sparing you the lecture let’s just say cultures have done, will do and continue doing heinous things under the misguided belief that they are right. Supergirl […]
Supergirl Season 1 Episode 18 Review – ‘Worlds Finest’
Martin Carr reviews the eighteenth episode of Supergirl… When something flies by at a rate of knots it tends to mean good things. What we have with ‘Worlds Finest’ is an example of exactly that. With talk of multiverses and parallel dimensions existing independently, Supergirl manages to mine rich territory this week. In a crossover […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 16 Review – ‘Prisoners’
Martin Carr reviews the sixteenth episode of Gotham season 2… Gordon behind bars is a more intriguing prospect than you might think this week. As ‘Prisoners’ splits itself evenly between Penguin and Black Gate prison, giving both actors the opportunity to shine in their own shared episode. McKenzie takes stoic to another level with his […]
Supergirl Season 1 Episode 17 Review – ‘Manhunter’
Martin Carr reviews the seventeenth episode of Supergirl… There are echoes of Alien Nation and Predator in this week’s episode, which effectively employs flashback to fill in back story for everyone. Unlike other shows the technique is employed correctly to broaden and deepen our bond with these characters, while showing the true nature of others. […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 15 Review – ‘Mad Grey Dawn’
Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Gotham season 2… These are dark days indeed for Jim Gordon. Never has a tagline for an episode been more apt than it is here with Gotham’s ‘Mad Grey Dawn’. Because as the sun comes up on another day in this grimy metropolis, things have never looked bleaker. […]
Supergirl Season 1 Episode 16 Review – ‘Falling’
Martin Carr reviews the sixteenth episode of Supergirl… Everyone loves a hero almost as much as we like to see them fail. Whether in comic books or tabloid journalism there is nothing better for morale than a rags to riches story, which we construct and then help destroy. A human trait made real this week […]
