We’ve had a long-standing rule when it comes to most scripted television here at CarterMatt for some time: Unless we see a character buried in the ground, the vast majority of “deaths” in season finales don’t stick. Therefore, going into the season 3 premiere of “The Last Ship,” we were more or less certain that […]
Jess Carter Penny Dreadful, Penny Dreadful season 3 review
For its season 3 finale of Showtime, “Penny Dreadful” delivered what may just be one of the most insane hours of anything that we’ve had a chance to witness for quite some time. We’re not entirely sure how they come back from this, and that may be precisely the point. We imagine that there will be plenty […]
Tonight, “The Last Ship” finally premiered with two hours of television that definitely had us amped to see precisely what was going to happen, given that in some ways we felt like season 2, save for the whole Rachel Scott thing, had a somewhat happy ending with Michener firmly in power, and him assigning Chandler […]
Tonight, “The Last Ship” returned to TNT with an episode that probably did quite a bit when it comes to establishing the new order of things in the world. After all, we got a chance to see Chandler and his crew off to effectively a new start in a new place, working to ensure the […]
Going into Sunday night’s “Game of Thrones” episode entitled “Battle of the Bastards,” we knew we were in for a heck of a showdown between Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton; heck, in many ways we assumed that we weren’t going to see the Ramsay character get out of there alive. Ultimately, the “Lord of Winterfell” […]
Matt Carter Game of Thrones, Game of Thrones season 6 review
Going into tonight’s “Game of Thrones” uber-episode entitled “Battle of the Bastards,” we knew that we were going to get an episode for the ages. However, we didn’t think we’d be so lucky as to get more than just the battle at Winterfell, and we ended up also getting some great stuff up at Meereen […]
Tonight, “Game of Thrones” gave us what may be the episode so many were hoping for in “The Battle of the Bastards.” It was intense, twisted, well-executed, and above all fantastic entertainment. We saw the arrival of Theon and Yara Greyjoy in Meereen, and at the same time, one of the most epic battles in […]
Tonight, “Game of Thrones” is in the process of airing on of the biggest episodes over the course of the series in “Battle of the Bastards,” so it only makes sense that during this, we’d see an outage of HBO’s online streaming platform. (Of course, we’re speaking here ironically.) Tonight, the HBO NOW service went […]
For everyone out there who has enjoyed “Preacher” so far, rest assured that next week’s new episode is a big one. After all, it marks a chance to see what happens following what could be interpreted as a sudden rise to fame for one Jesse Custer, and it could give us a chance to see […]
Matt Carter Hell on Wheels, Hell on Wheels season 5 review
You can argue that for Cullen Bohannon on “Hell on Wheels,” he lives a life steeped in tragedy. Is there a certain part of it that is of his own doing? Absolutely, but there is also a part of it that is circumstantial and inevitable. He cannot be in every place at once, and he […]
