Martin Carr reviews the sixteenth episode of Gotham… Any time somebody brings circuses into the equation things turn sinister. Tempered by the needs of a mainstream audience and being firmly pre-watershed, this circus is not quite the denizen of freaks you would expect.

Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Gotham… Gotham’s most famous schizophrenic makes his entrance…… Nicholas D’Agosto is a whole bag of crazy. Clean cut image, catalogue model looks and a smile so superficial you know something sinister lies beneath. In political terms Bill Hicks once said that ‘anyone that far to the right is […]
