Preacher Season 4 Episode 5 Review – ‘Bleak City’

by

Blu-ray Review – American Gods Season 2

Preacher Season 4 Episode 3 Review – ‘Deviant’

by

Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Preacher season 4… Rarely do you get four minute fight scenes with classical backing tracks which segue into swing guitar, before pulling back to reveal bodies piled high and slow motion bloodletting aplenty.

The Boys Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘The Innocents’

by

Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of The Boys season 1… In amongst the revelations which continue coming there are a few emotional sledgehammers that stand out in episode six.
