Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Gotham season 3… Mind games, psychosis and mental imbalance are in order on Gotham this week, giving rise to the concise and punchy tag line which is ‘Blood Rush’.

Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Gotham season 3… And so the Lewis Carroll references continue into another week on Gotham which is getting more and more psychedelic, considerably less Dark Knight and noticeably more Clockwork Orange.

Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Gotham season 3… Let’s take a few moments to admire the film references present and correct within Gotham this week.
