Lovecraft Country Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘A History of Violence’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Lovecraft Country… Although ‘A History of Violence’ brings in period piece elements which encompass both racial disharmony and rising concerns around communism, at heart things are much more mainstream.

The Boys Season 2 Episode 3 Review – ‘Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men’

by

Martin Carr reviews the second episode of The Boys season 2… The Boys has always been about identity, either those we share in private, those we flaunt in public and to a lesser degree the one we don’t talk about at parties.

Lovecraft Country Season 1 Episode 2 Review – ‘Whitey’s On The Moon’

by

Martin Carr reviews the second episode of HBO’s Lovecraft Country… That showrunner Misha Green has already sampled playwright and novelist James Baldwin should be some indication of her intentions.
