Review: Gotham S2E3 "The Last Laugh"

Gotham just keeps getting better and better. This season's theme is "rise of the villains" and we're really getting a taste of what that means. There's not much to say without giving away plot twists, so let's go below the fold for spoilers.

Review: Gotham S2E2 "Knock, Knock"

A lot of people didn't like the first season of Gotham, saying that it was campy, or uneven, or poorly plotted. I was not one of them. I liked the show from the beginning, because I felt the best way to look at it was not as a Batman prequel (which is how it's been marketed) but as a police procedural/ mobster show with really quirky characters.

The second episode of the new season, "Knock, Knock" picks up where the first episode left off. A bunch of the worst of Arkham Asylum's inmates have been broken out in order to form a team whose antics are apparently intended to throw Gotham into chaos for its own sake. I'm sure that the mastermind behind it all, Theo, will have some broader plan in mind, but for right now we're going for chaos.
