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.

Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Supergirl, ‘Red Faced’… Supergirl just got picked up for a full season. With ratings that topped fourteen million and some consistent episodes, this will come as no surprise.

Reason being that the reviewer has something to get their collective teeth into. Issues arise when you actually like the show but […]

Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Supergirl… There are so many clever little touches in this second episode that people will be spoilt for choice. Taking the route of a superhero in training, Supergirl’s new throw of the dice shows progression without complacency. Testing speed, control and initiative in the field, Kara displays all […]

Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Supergirl… There are those who will consider this a bad idea. Not Supergirl. That remains a good idea poorly executed. Anyone who sat through the Helen Slater, Faye Dunaway travesty will understand where I am coming from. No, what I am talking about is having a man review […]
