Martin Carr reviews the season 2 finale of Gotham… With a fire and ice standoff, Russian roulette question and answer sessions and Gordon bound in the basement, Gotham’s finale ‘Transference’ was shaping up to be an interesting proposition.

Martin Carr reviews the twentieth episode of Gotham season 2… Even though I am over a week behind with Gotham it is moving so fast this barely seems to matter.
