I’m not even sure where to begin with this season finale of ‘Gotham.’ Tonight’s season finale was so bat..stuff crazy that it seemed far too often that the writers just gave up and decided to double up on the absurd. Logic be damned. Perhaps the thinking was if they went heavy on the action, including […]
It’s an odd numbered episode week, which means ‘Gotham’ was fairly entertaining this week. At least the show is consistent with its up and down pattern. This week landed firmly in the very good category as the writers stuck to the formula that’s worked for roughly half the season — focusing on Gordon and Bullock […]
‘Gotham’ is the biggest roller coaster ride on network television. And no, that’s not a compliment. One week ago, the show returned from a momentum-derailing hiatus to deliver one of its most promising episodes. This one picked right up and was rolling along like we’d finally get two back to back good episodes, but then […]
Since ‘Gotham’ took its spring break, ‘Arrow’ and ‘The Flash’ went to another level of excitement, ‘Agents of SHIELD’ stepped up its game and ‘Daredevil’ dropped on Netflix providing a better Batman show than anything else on TV including the one set in Batman’s universe. Did ‘Gotham’ re-establish itself as a must-watch show in the […]
Based on its pattern so far this season, tonight’s episode should have been the good one and next week should have been the one that makes you question if you really want to stick with the roller coaster ride of consistency that has been ‘Gotham.’ At times, the show had some interesting moments — the […]
The eyes have it in this week’s goofy installment that in 44 brief minutes managed to ruin all of the hard earned goodwill the show had slowly earned over the last month. Yep, we’re back to bad, bad ‘Gotham’ with some soap opera-esque antics, eye rolling inducing out of character moments and no Leslie. For […]
Morena Baccarin is determined to do what no one else has managed so far — make me actually get invested in a character on ‘Gotham.’ Seriously, instead of teasing Batman’s Rogue Gallery each week, I’d be perfectly content watching Gordon, Bullock and Baccarin’s Leslie Thompson solving crime in Gotham a la ‘Castle’ style and the […]
We’ll get into the much ill-advised teaser for next week’s show soon enough. For now, let’s dive into the second half of the season’s first two-parter. The show is rolling through Batman’s Rogue gallery as best it can, but it’s really feeling like the showrunners are still trapping themselves by devoting far too much in […]
Don’t get too excited by that title. Remember this show wants to keep teasing some connection to Batman without actually bringing in Batman. But as far as “Gotham” goes, this was an encouraging episode. In another kinda foreshadowing of all things Batman in Gotham, a guy is strapped to a chair outside looking down at […]
“Gotham” is a hard show to fully get behind. After two weeks of pretty good “Gotham,” we’re back to the stumbling, bumbling Batman show without Batman that constantly ignores what works to Last week did a great job of clearing the table for a significant changing of the status quo, but too much of this […]
