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 […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 14 Review – ‘This Ball of Mud and Meanness’
Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Gotham season 2… David Mazouz’s Bruce Wayne might look like a preppy who needs to get on the Mars Bar diet, but don’t let that cover fool you. Because this week he gets to exhibit his kick ass colours facing off against Matches Malone. A somewhat less monstrous […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 12 Review – ‘Mr Freeze’
Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Gotham season 2… ‘Long is the way and hard, that out of Hell leads up to light’ (Milton ‘Paradise Lost’) I have procrastinated for too long. There is only so much pie and Oreo cookies one can eat before hitting critical mass. Therefore I find myself weighing up […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 13 Review – ‘A Dead Man Feels No Cold’
Martin Carr reviews the thirteenth episode of Gotham season 2… To say nothing of consequence happens this week in Gotham is selling the programme short. Sure there are no big plot reveals and very little action, but at the same time there are small touches which make you smile. Continuing as it does with the […]
Supergirl Season 1 Episode 14 Review – ‘Truth, Justice and The American Way’
Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Supergirl… All the best comic book fables have a moral tale at their centre. Whether you consider adages such as ‘with great power, comes great responsibility’, ‘absolute power corrupts absolutely’ or my personal favourite ‘dead or alive you’re coming with me’. They imply when done well that super […]
Supergirl Season 1 Episode 15 Review – ‘Solitude’
Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Supergirl… When you are dealing with a computer virus made flesh, who is the manifestation of a species designed to control technological systems for a whole planet expect two things. Firstly lots of big words and secondly a very long sentence. Now consider yourself introduced to Indigo the […]
