Martin Carr reviews Amazon’s new adult animated superhero series Invincible… The voice cast on this animated adaptation is outstanding. If this was live action rather than pixel and pen line drawings, some cheque books would be swung wide accommodating the cost of catering alone. Co-created by Robert Kirkman, famed for both The Walking Dead and […]
Marvel’s The Falcon and The Winter Soldier – Episode 1 Review
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier… After the radical departure of WandaVision, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier lands squarely in familiar Marvel territory.

TV Review – The Flight Attendant
Martin Carr reviews The Flight Attendant… This globetrotting HBO Max original is full of surprises. What starts out as something clichéd, copy book and laden with genre tropes, soon opens up and branches off in numerous directions.

Apple TV+ Review – Calls
Martin Carr reviews Apple TV+’s Calls… Adapted from the French short form series and written and directed by Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe), Calls is a strange proposition for consumers of conventional content.

American Gods Season 3 Episode 9 Review – ‘The Lake Effect’
Martin Carr reviews the penultimate episode of American Gods season 3… Lakeside sacrifice, gold coin reincarnation and tenuous peace talks lay the groundwork for this penultimate episode.

American Gods Season 3 Episode 8 Review – ‘The Rapture of Burning’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of American Gods season 3… Sexual liberation can come in many forms and American Gods embraces that notion with open arms.

DVD Review – The Great: Season One
Martin Carr reviews The Great: Season One… There is a bawdy quality to The Great which makes it feel appropriately deviant without getting too dark. Adapted by Tony McNamara from his original stage play, Elle Fanning embodies Empress Catherine with an overtly intellectual air and affable disposition. Married off into Russian aristocracy solely to provide an […]
TV Review – Your Honor
Martin Carr reviews Your Honor… Your Honor is a slick, slow burn pot boiler held together by Bryan Cranston. This series might take its time to establish context, define relationships and build suspense but Cranston’s Michael Desiato is the driving force. As both a district judge, grieving husband and nurturing father he is required to […]
