Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Supergirl season 3…Prepare yourself for an episode of teen angst with teeth in a week of backstory which is designed to bring Kara and Alex together. However what starts out as a glossy and polished throwback to Dawson’s Creek grows a backbone, develops cojones and offers up another […]
Supergirl Season 3 Episode 5 Review – ‘Damage’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Supergirl season 3…Morgan Edge is a nasty piece of work. Portrayed as a cutthroat industrialist with business savvy and media moxy, this sharp suited villain is giving Supergirl some gumption. Channelling malevolence through a polished people friendly facade we see a face-off with shared history, supreme confidence and […]
Supergirl Season 3 Episode 4 Review – ‘The Faithful’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Supergirl season 3…This is the most rounded episode of the season so far. Low on saccharine, thoroughly thought-provoking and packed with pathos alongside a good balance of set pieces.

Gotham Season 4 Episode 6 Review – ‘Hog Day Afternoon’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Gotham season 4…Apart from being a play on words which recalls the classic film with Al Pacino and John Cazale, ‘Hog Day Afternoon’ bears little resemblance to that heist movie. Focus is very much on dirty cops, femme fatales, murdered authority figures and one man in a hog […]
Supergirl Season 3 Episode 3 Review – ‘Far from the Tree’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Supergirl season 3…A lesbian wedding shower might be a first for American network television but that is just a smoke screen for something more contentious.

Gotham Season 4 Episode 5 Review – ‘The Blade’s Path’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Gotham season 4…This week was more for the comic book aficionados than those after straightforward entertainment. For the first time in a while I had to look up references for Gotham rather than going on pure narrative twists and turns. My reasoning being the emergence of Solomon Grundy […]
Supergirl Season 3 Episode 2 Review – ‘Triggers’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Supergirl season 3…Things start off light and fluffy in National City this week, as we get momentary flashbacks, a montage of morning couples and a semi-conscious Kara dreaming of her the missing Mon-El.

Gotham Season 4 Episode 4 Review – ‘The Demon’s Head’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Gotham season 4…Sacrificial knife inscriptions, steamy liaisons with criminal femme fatales and an immortal foe with a man dog from the afterlife are just a few things which feature in ‘The Demon’s Head’. Couple that with an absent minded Riddler, overly paranoid kingpin Penguin and an irate Alfred […]
Supergirl Season 3 Episode 1 Review – ‘Girl of Steel’
Martin Carr reviews the season three premiere of Supergirl…This opener has a familiarity, hard edge and darkness which instantly brings it to life. Following directly on from Mon-El’s departure Kara is isolating herself off from family and friends, focusing solely on Supergirl. After the Daxamite destruction which crowned season two National City tycoons are taking […]
Gotham Season 4 Episode 3 Review – ‘They Who Hide Behind Masks’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Gotham season 4…According to those in the know Gotham hit bottom last week with an abysmal showing.
