Young Sheldon Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘Spock, Kirk, and Testicular Hernia’

by

Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Young Sheldon… With the usual abstract notions which accompany every Big Bang Theory we venture into another outing of its lesser sibling Young Sheldon. Nuanced, crackpot, scenario specific and nostalgic to a fault CBS keeps mining the solid gold character quirks of Mister Cooper with panache. Building a […]

Young Sheldon Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘Cape Canaveral, Schrodinger’s Cat, And Cyndi Lauper’s Hair’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Young Sheldon… Reminiscent of family bonding moments when we were children and warmly nostalgic for reasons difficult to explain, Young Sheldon continues drawing in its audience.

Young Sheldon Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘A Brisket, Voodoo, and Cannonball Run’

by

Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Young Sheldon… This series continues to defy description in its construction, execution and pure optimism. Each episode hinges on minor character moments which gel together and feel so familiar it’s ridiculous. This pint-sized vignette of scenarios held in place by common elements makes everything look so easy. Plotlines […]

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 9 Review – ‘Reign’

by

Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Supergirl season 3… Prostrate under searchlights, beaten, battered, bleeding and bruised, this week Supergirl delivers a leftfield sucker punch to the gut which creeps up on you. Rarely does a television show let alone a comic book one reach the authentic emotional heights of Greek tragedy. Weighed down […]

The Orville Season 1 Episode 11 Review – ‘New Dimensions’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eleventh episode of The Orville… This could be the episode season one is remembered for. Discussions about quantum physics, landmark publications from the 1880s and dramatic tension mixed with measured humour define episode eleven. Bridge side banter and sight gags are present and correct but New Dimensions deals with more intellectual […]
