By far, this is the biggest, most impactful and overall best-executed punch of drama that Gotham's ever landed.February 24, 2015
Every time I think that Gotham has reached its bottom, it manages to dig an even deeper hole and create a new low for itself.February 24, 2015
Fish Mooney's impromptu eye surgery was without question the episode's highlight, a genuine, jaw-dropping, shout-at-the-screen moment.February 24, 2015
"Red Hood" is a solid 45 minutes of just... nothing. Aside from Bruce and Alfred's mini arc, everything seems kind of inconsequential and bloated.February 24, 2015
What an intense episode! Fish, in all her badass glory, shows us there's no tougher, scrappier or smarter villain in Gotham.February 24, 2015
Alfred once again proved why he's such a highlight, but I continue to wonder when the series will move away from the crutch of referencing future Batman stuff and find a way to stand on its own.February 24, 2015
For perhaps the first time this season, Gotham actually feels like a show that's about the city, and how that city might come to produce not only hardened supervillains, but also a caped vigilante.February 24, 2015
How is it even possible that after what I'm pretty sure was Gotham's most baffling episode, it comes back a week later and air what I think is this show's finest episode to date? Just when I think I'm out, they yada yada yada you get the point.February 24, 2015
Even though the Red Hood gang story will only pay dividends in our minds, it felt more like a fun, harmless one-off rather than a big, heavy "this is where it all begins" ground zero moment. And I liked that.
