Supergirl Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘Blood Bonds’

by

Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Supergirl… If ‘Hostile Takeover’ seemed truncated in its need to leave us hanging, then ‘Blood Bonds’ seeks to remedy its predecessor’s tardiness. Launching back into that monumental smack down with gusto. Which results in a huge crater and one director of the DEO being taken hostage. In true […]

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘Hostile Takeover’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Supergirl… Supergirl moved into the topical realm of cyber terrorism this week, when Kara faced off against Auntie Astra and Uncle Non. While Cat Grant fell victim to industrial espionage, which served to unearth the odd secret and generally broaden the playing field. Although performances were uniformly good […]

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘Human For a Day’

by

Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Supergirl, ‘Human For a Day’… With Charles Halford under loads of latex this week, Supergirl continues to be worth its network weight in gold.

All pouring rain, slate grey sky and overbearing crane shots of pallbearers with grim expressions. Stepping up to the plate comes McKenzie. All steely eyed determination, […]

Gotham Season 2 Episode 11 Review – ‘Worse Than a Crime’

by

Martin Carr reviews Gotham’s winter finale ‘Worse Than a Crime’… This winter finale feels like an excuse to down tools, man up and lay some smack down. And yes that there was a wrestling reference, from someone who grew up watching Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy. Sure there are shifty looking sacrificial monks, ancient hunting […]

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘How Does She Do It?’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Supergirl… Now we get that missing episode you start seeing how Supergirl has turned things round. There are motives aplenty, minimal saccharine soaked lovefests. While episode four does everything its bland predecessor fudged up in such fashion. Managing to give us intrigue, character beats and supply a long-term […]
