Young Sheldon Season 1 Episode 18 Review – ‘A Mother, a Child, and a Blue Man’s Backside’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighteenth episode of Young Sheldon… Young Sheldon is increasingly about the little things. Comic asides, chuck away one liners between characters and risqué moments which enrich rather than diminish any Sheldon centric situation. Perry and Armitage take great pleasure in stealing many of the best lines, while the latter proves his […]

Gotham Season 4 Episode 18 Review – ‘That’s Entertainment’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighteenth episode of Gotham season 4… The League of Shadows, counter kidnapping, exploding heads and a kitsch musical homage with festival soundstage overtones help bring things to life this week.

For large swathes of public, film consumption is now solely confined to the use of either Amazon or Netflix, with […]

Young Sheldon Season 1 Episode 17 Review – ‘Jiu-Jitsu, Bubble Wrap, and Yoo-Hoo’

by

Martin Carr reviews the seventeenth episode of Young Sheldon… There is a naïve quirkiness which has infiltrated the back end of season one recently. Aside from the structural segues which dictate a majority of Young Sheldon, character development also makes an interesting contribution towards its overall tone. Armitage not only seems gifted at indirect impersonation […]

Gotham Season 4 Episode 17 Review – ‘Mandatory Brunch Meeting’

by

Martin Carr reviews the seventeenth episode of Gotham season 4… Plot threads are two a penny in Gotham right now, as long running character interests jockey for position alongside fledgling sub-plots. Audience attentions are split, narrative focus seems scattershot while news of series cancellation is rife. Story development is veering into the realms of doppelgangers, […]
