by

Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Supergirl season 3… After the enforced hiatus which saw Supergirl disappear off our screens due to a scheduling clash, it is nice to have things back where they belong.

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.

by

Martin Carr reviews the sixteenth episode of Young Sheldon… Versatility in a comedy actor is essential but few are ever given the opportunity to showcase that talent ironically.

by

Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Gotham season 4… Retribution, collusion, triple crosses and final curtain calls go hand in hand with some dental torture, hammer time pay back and reconciliations this week.
