Supergirl Season 4 Episode 4 Review – ‘Ahimsa’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Supergirl season 4… Non-violent affirmative action is all well and good but implementing that, following that through and putting it into practice without repercussions is tricky. Trying to quell an uprising, underground movement or other extremist group in a time of civil unrest is a constant battle. This […]

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 5 Review – ‘Parasite Lost’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Supergirl season 4… There is nothing connecting this episode to the John Milton classic Paradise Lost. Hate groups, alien alienation and a spiralling increase in internet abuse towards immigrant interlopers seems the closest you get. Between the faith healers, fringe groups and lack of humanity shown by humans […]

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 6 Review – ‘Call to Action’

by

Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Supergirl season 4… Once again the segregationist attitude which pervades Supergirl leads to conflicting tonally shifts which deviates away from important topics appeasing audience expectations. Underlying themes are becoming less and less subtle as these programme makers explore, examine and dissect native sentiment versus immigrant influence. Not so […]

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 7 Review – ‘Rather The Fallen Angel’

by

Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Supergirl season 4… Beyond the Ellis Island references, vigilante tactics and ethical undercurrents around human experimentation Supergirl discusses something else this week. ‘Rather The Fallen Angel’ proposes that human duality and your ability to balance both sides of this equation are more ambiguous than others may think. Our […]

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 8 Review – ‘Bunker Hill’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Supergirl season 4… This episode belongs to Manchester Black. Sub-plots revolving round sleep deprivation and the incarceration of Agent Liberty might work effectively, but ‘Bunker Hill’ is all about that grey area inhabited by our own home grown vigilante. Between that and the hat tip to Joe and […]

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 9 Review – ‘Elseworlds Part 3’

by

Martin Carr reviews part 3 of The CW’s crossover event Elseworlds… Taken in isolation rather than part of the larger whole part three of this trilogy is both refreshing, exciting, action packed and inventive. Watching Grant Gustin, Stephen Amell and Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman is an adrenaline shot for Supergirl which complements her extended ensemble massively. […]

Gotham Season 5 Episode 1 Review – ‘Year Zero’

by

Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Gotham season 5… Post-apocalyptic Gotham is not as was hoped full of odious surprises, cryptic villains and heavy fire power. Instead territories are carved up and ruled by influence, muscle, economics or sheer numbers. Cut off from civilisation and mustering forces in a constant battle for food, medicine, […]
