• TV Review – Glue, Series 1

    It’s been described as an unmissable blend of Skins and Broadchurch, yet E4’s recent 8-part murder mystery Glue has certainly created its own identity, through an exciting mix of young tragedy, fearless romance and disturbing revelations triumphed by a talented cast, indie soundtrack and exquisite scenes of the Berkshire...
  • TV Review – The Flash, Season 1, Episode 2

    Crime fighting, comedy, cringe and a bit of The Matrix; in this second episode of CW’s The Flash, the fastest man alive (in an episode titled identically so) battles a metahuman who can duplicate himself and is exacting revenge on his former employer. The basis of this week’s instalment to...
  • TV Review – American Horror Story: Freak Show, Episode 4

    This is exactly what we were waiting for. Following on from last week’s Part 1 of this “Edward Mordrake” two-parter, Part 2 is everything its predecessor was not: exciting, fulfilling and full of death; indeed a great comfort after the previous disappointing chapter.

  • TV Review – American Horror Story: Freak Show, Episode 3

    Once again we return to the biggest horror show of the year, and unfortunately, this episode just does not live up to expectation. Titled “Edward Mordrake (Part 1)” of a two-part episode, this time, as it the Halloween instalment, I imagined we would get a super scary and suspenseful 60 minutes, but the...
  • TV Review – Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., Season 2, Episode 1

    Spoiler Warning Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. just blasted back onto our screens. And if the first episode was anything to go by, it’s going to be a great series. Although Series 1 started slowly, it found its feet after the Captain America: The Winter Soldier crossover. ‘Shadows’, the first episode...
