Better Call Saul Season 2 Episode 7 Review – ‘Inflatable’

by

Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Better Call Saul season 2… What I like about Better Call Saul is the pace. That feeling which implies there is no rush and ultimately this programme is all about the long game. Because if you notice not a lot really happens here, although things do happen eventually. Breaking […]

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 18 Review – ‘Worlds Finest’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighteenth episode of Supergirl… When something flies by at a rate of knots it tends to mean good things. What we have with ‘Worlds Finest’ is an example of exactly that. With talk of multiverses and parallel dimensions existing independently, Supergirl manages to mine rich territory this week. In a crossover […]

Gotham Season 2 Episode 16 Review – ‘Prisoners’

by

Martin Carr reviews the sixteenth episode of Gotham season 2… Gordon behind bars is a more intriguing prospect than you might think this week. As ‘Prisoners’ splits itself evenly between Penguin and Black Gate prison, giving both actors the opportunity to shine in their own shared episode. McKenzie takes stoic to another level with his […]

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 12 Review – ‘The Dark At The End of The Tunnel’

by

Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Daredevil season 2… If Fisk owned episode ten and eleven belonged to Castle then episode twelve, or ‘The Dark At The End This Tunnel’ feels strangely average. Now I know that Daredevil average is another programme’s barnstorming opener, so I will be cautious in my evaluation. It’s only […]

Video Game Review – Shadow Complex Remastered

by

Martin Carr reviews Shadow Complex Remastered… Originally developed by Epic in association with Chair Entertainment and published by Microsoft, Shadow Complex is 2D sideways scrolling platformer. Powered by Unreal Engine and rebooted for Xbox One and PS4, Complex lapses into 3D whilst maintaining the old school ethic of two dimensional shooters. Initially released on Xbox […]

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 10 Review – ‘The Man In The Box’

by

Martin Carr reviews the tenth episode of Daredevil season 2… If anything was going to stop Jon Bernthal stealing Daredevil, that was going to be the re-emergence of Wilson Fisk. An embodiment of such menace and calculated restraint, there would be few willing to spend time alone with Vincent D’Onofrio in a locked room. Between […]

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 17 Review – ‘Manhunter’

by

Martin Carr reviews the seventeenth episode of Supergirl… There are echoes of Alien Nation and Predator in this week’s episode, which effectively employs flashback to fill in back story for everyone. Unlike other shows the technique is employed correctly to broaden and deepen our bond with these characters, while showing the true nature of others. […]

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 8 Review – ‘Guilty As Sin’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Daredevil season 2… Once Elektra crossed that line in episode seven there was a wedge driven between Nelson, Page and Murdock the size of a Buick. Testimonies are thrown out, friendships are in tatters, while there is the small matter of that forty storey chasm at the end […]
