Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Young Sheldon… With the added bonus of a welcome cameo this week Young Sheldon ticks all the boxes which have so far made it a stand out addition to Big Bang mythology. Spanning just twenty minutes this show does more with these nostalgic vignettes than most manage in […]

The Orville Season 1 Episode 10 Review – ‘Firestorm’
Martin Carr reviews the tenth episode of The Orville… With more twists and turns than a Kubrick hedge maze The Orville delivers, surprises, engages and entertains without once dropping the ball. ‘Firestorm’ is by turns inventive, emotive and laced with subtle moments of humour which break things up without detracting from the overall structure. Every […]
Supergirl Season 3 Episode 6 Review – ‘Midvale’
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 […]

The LEGO Movie Franchise: The Marriage of Movies and Merchandising
Sarah Myles on The LEGO Movie franchise and the marriage of movie merchandising… Forty years ago, there was a seismic shift in the film industry, when Bernard Loomis of Kenner Toys decided that Star Wars was ‘toyetic.’ That shift, all those years ago, has led us on a journey of courtship between movies and merchandising, […]
Marvel’s Inhumans Season 1 Finale Review – ‘…And Finally: Black Bolt’
Martin Carr reviews the season finale of Marvel’s Inhumans… From its inception through to initial release on IMAX screens Inhumans has felt shackled, cumbersome and hard work. Marred by simplistic structuring which won it no easy converts and soon lost anyone else, this expensive exercise in corporate storyboarding did Marvel no favours. Too many cooks […]
Young Sheldon Season 1 Episode 3 Review – ‘Poker, Faith and Eggs’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Young Sheldon… Annie Potts inhabits the mythical Mee Maw of Sheldon’s childhood with style. Introduced as a fun loving, free spirited older woman this grandmother is not to be messed with. Babysitting in the loosest sense while Sheldon, George and Missy are let off the chain to run […]
The Orville Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘Cupid’s Dagger’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of The Orville… Aside from the slick piece of casting which reminds us all exactly how likeable Rob Lowe can actually be, The Orville is out to have fun this week. With karaoke, incidental lift music and gelatinous coupling on a carnal level ‘Cupid’s Dagger’ is one hell of […]
Gotham Season 4 Episode 8 Review – ‘Stop Hitting Yourself’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Gotham season 4… Cory Michael Smith turns a back street dive bar into something akin to Cabaret this week. Those too young to remember need only watch his moments in the wrestling ring, where vaudeville crosses over from side-show villainy into pure kitsch to know we have something […]
