MR. ROBOT, 2.5 – ‘eps2.3_logic-b0mb.hc’
[usr 4.5] After four weeks of brooding, opaque hints, and the fear Sam Esmail had lost control of the material a little, everything finally...
PREACHER, 1.10 – ‘Call and Response’
[usr 3.5] I haven’t been blown away by Preacher, and I don’t know many people who are even watching. And of those that are,...
MR. ROBOT, 2.4 – ‘eps2.2_init1.asec’
[usr 3.5] Ironically, Sarah can’t write about this week’s Mr. Robot because of technical difficulties, so I’m taking over to give my thoughts on...

[usr 4.0] It’s always a mistake to think that you have any real grasp on what’s happening in Mr Robot, given that creator Sam...
PREACHER, 1.7 – ‘He Gone’

PREACHER, 1.6 – ‘Sundowner’
[usr 4.0] I was glad this episode gave us a taste of the spirit and twisted humour of the comic books, even though it...
PREACHER, 1.5 – ‘South Will Rise Again’

PREACHER, 1.4 – ‘Monster Swamp’
[usr 3.0] I’m watching Preacher hoping it’s going to spark to life, but I’m still waiting. It all feels insufferably slow right now; particularly...
