Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Gotham season 3… Dare I say that Gotham is getting exciting? Proper plotlines, dynamic characters and a warped reality which seems to work perfectly. An off the reservation beatnik cop with a drinking problem, lunatics running the nightly entertainment and crime bosses dictating to an enthralled media. I […]

Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Gotham season 3… There is a dark, sordid undercurrent to this opening episode which promises much and delivers more. Gotham spends its first forty minutes and change planting seeds and continuing the story with economy and no little confidence.

Martin Carr reviews the seventeenth episode of Gotham season 2… Episode seventeen entitled ‘Into The Woods’ has nothing to do Sondheim. There is no warbling, no Meryl Streep and mercifully no Johnny Depp looking shifty amongst the undergrowth. Instead we get gothic melodrama, boatloads of crazy and a showdown which is more Millers Crossing than […]

Martin Carr reviews the sixteenth episode of Gotham season 2… Gordon behind bars is a more intriguing prospect than you might think this week. As ‘Prisoners’ splits itself evenly between Penguin and Black Gate prison, giving both actors the opportunity to shine in their own shared episode. McKenzie takes stoic to another level with his […]

Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Gotham season 2… These are dark days indeed for Jim Gordon.
