American Gods Season 1 Episode 5 Review – ‘Lemon Scented You’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of American Gods… A free-floating ‘Seven Year Itch’ icon combined with ‘Stardust’ pastiche are just two of many personas which make ‘Lemon Scented You’ come alive. Acid trip laced introductions with swinging sledgehammers and balm pot crazy Irishmen, meld together into a seedy segue of sordid indulgence offering minimal […]

Supergirl Season 2 Finale Review – ‘Nevertheless, She Persisted’
Martin Carr reviews Supergirl’s season 2 finale… Silver Kryptonite is a bitch.

Martin Carr reviews the nineteenth episode of Gotham season 3… Pigeons are coming home to roost, schemes are being uncovered and two villains form a truce for the purposes of escape and murder at a later date.

American Gods Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘Git Gone’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of American Gods… Convention kicks in for twenty minutes before ‘Git Gone’ gets a dark arse swagger on, reminding anyone with doubts that American Gods is far from finished making headlines. Re-conditioned corpses, Egyptian deities and boatload of bug spray keep this relationship origin story away from genre territory. […]

American Gods Season 1 Episode 3 Review – ‘Head Full of Snow’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of American Gods… Losing none of its ability to visually stun three weeks in ‘Head Full of Snow’ weaves a narrative dance around its unsuspecting audience.

American Gods Season 1 Episode 2 Review – ‘The Secret of Spoons’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of American Gods… American Gods is more of a mood than set of narrative ideas.
