UK VOD TV review: The Knick Episode 10 (Crutchfield)
December 18, 2014 | Philip W BaylesIt’s a good job that The Knick was renewed for a second season before the first episode even aired, because ‘Crutchfield’ would suck as a finale to the show. Despite being crammed full of plot points and character details, there’s … Read More
UK VOD TV review: Sons of Anarchy Finale Ride, Episode 13 (Papa’s Goods)
December 18, 2014 | Chris BryantSons of Anarchy’s final episode is about fate, good and evil, the big picture and legacy. Big, powerful themes, but that’s really the only way to go out.

VOD TV recap: Arrow Season 3, Episode 7
December 13, 2014 | Matthew TurnerThis week’s Arrow is once again a filler episode, which means that, aside from the mystery of Sara’s murder, we’re still no closer to getting an idea of the main direction for this season. That said, Slade Wilson didn’t show … Read More

December 11, 2014 | Philip W BaylesLast week, we jumped from an oppressively hot summer to a bitter winter, and it’s proving to be one full of discontent for the cast of The Knick. We see just about every character at their lowest point over the … Read More
VOD TV review: The Flash Episode 7
December 11, 2014 | Amon WarmannAs assured as The Flash has been in its opening batch of episodes, it’s very easy to draw similarities with other superhero TV fare. For good or ill, the show that always keeps cropping up in these conversations is Smallville … Read More
