Scream: The TV Series Season 2 Episode 3 Review – ‘Vacancy’

by

Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Scream: The TV Series season 2… Apart from it sounding like an old thriller set in a motel, episode three of Scream is heading in a decent direction. Take away the plotline which is being dragged out concerning Jake and things are ticking over nicely. Meanwhile if we […]

Scream: The TV Series Season 2 Episode 2 Review – ‘Psycho’

by

Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Scream: The TV Series season 2…   If Scream had been entertaining this week or even mildly diverting, then it may have deserved to steal Hitchcock’s title. If there had been some decent progressions, diversionary bloodletting and clever segues this conversation might have been different. However what ‘Psycho’ […]

Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 3 Review – ‘Once Upon a Time in Wayward Pines’

by

Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Wayward Pines season 2… Building character, creating backstory and broadening the creative canvas sounds pretentious mainly because it is. Before any of that other stuff can be done you have to make people care about something. Conjure up a person who is defined by dominance, instills fear but […]

Preacher Season 1 Episode 2 Review – ‘See’

by

Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Preacher… Preacher might well turn into a landmark series for AMC. Nothing has started out with this level of confidence so early on and delivered. Between Joseph Gilgun, Ruth Negga and Dominic Cooper we have a casting call anointed from on high. Combining assurance of character, solid dialogue […]

Video Game Review – Soul Axiom

by

Martin Carr reviews Soul Axiom… Hours of wandering around in a Tron induced landscape is not for everyone. Being dropped into a scenario where electrical lightning storms, mountainous peaks and huge charging pillions dominate might put some off. Similarly not really having any instructions might also be considered by some to be a hindrance. If […]

Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 2 Review – ‘Blood Harvest’

by

Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Wayward Pines season 2… I was wrong and admit it. Whatever my misgivings about last week’s opener things have changed down in Wayward Pines. That needless re-tread which constituted episode one, left no time for progression, proved noticeably useless and removed any tension with devastating efficiency. There was […]

Scream: The TV Series Season 2 Episode 1 Review – ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’

by

Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Scream: The TV Series season 2… Funded by Netflix but carrying the MTV logo Scream emerges from the rubble of season one where it earned renewal, with some serious backing and bulked up production value. Now it resides on the cable equivalent of HBO, we get a full […]

Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 1 Review – ‘Enemy Lines’

by

Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Wayward Pines season 2… There are a few problems following success. First thing is how to repeat that without copying beat for beat whatever came before. Your options are limited and involve calculated risk, plain risk or reinvention. From a network perspective the latter is a non-starter as […]

Gotham Season 2 Episode 22 Review – ‘Transference’

by

Martin Carr reviews the season 2 finale of Gotham… With a fire and ice standoff, Russian roulette question and answer sessions and Gordon bound in the basement, Gotham’s finale ‘Transference’ was shaping up to be an interesting proposition. What felt a bit odd though was the lack of finality about the season closer, bearing in […]
