Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Gotham season 2… These are dark days indeed for Jim Gordon. Never has a tagline for an episode been more apt than it is here with Gotham’s ‘Mad Grey Dawn’. Because as the sun comes up on another day in this grimy metropolis, things have never looked bleaker. […]

Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Gotham season 2… David Mazouz’s Bruce Wayne might look like a preppy who needs to get on the Mars Bar diet, but don’t let that cover fool you. Because this week he gets to exhibit his kick ass colours facing off against Matches Malone. A somewhat less monstrous […]

Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Gotham season 2… ‘Long is the way and hard, that out of Hell leads up to light’ (Milton ‘Paradise Lost’) I have procrastinated for too long. There is only so much pie and Oreo cookies one can eat before hitting critical mass. Therefore I find myself weighing up […]

To be honest it was good seeing her do more than just inflict pain and fulfil that dominatrix role she has been lumbered with. By […]

Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Gotham season 2… Barbara Gordon has been ill served of late. Her particular brand of crazy has been side lined by the whip wielding, bodice filling Tabitha Galavan. All sass and sado-masochism wrapped up in a brothel madam demeanour. In other words Jessica Lucas has been a distraction. […]

Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Gotham Season 2… This lights a fire under you in more ways than one. ‘By Fire’ sees the transformation of Bridget into one nasty piece of work. Geared up with a flamethrower and goggles, we see a young lady losing her grip on reality. That she finally snaps […]

Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Gotham season 2… Minutes in and Penguin cradles his dead mother as she takes her final breathe.
