This winter finale feels like an excuse to down tools, man up and lay some smack down. And yes that there was a wrestling reference, from someone who grew

Smirking through security glass Galavan eyed Gordon with confidence. Outside Gotham had an overcast, rain slicked heavy duty feeling. All pouring rain, slate grey sky and overbearing crane shots of
Things kick off this week with Tabitha Galavan in a vendetta kind of mood after big brother gets locked away. To be honest it was good seeing her do
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
Minutes in and Penguin cradles his dead mother as she takes her final breathe. Double crossed and lead into a steel sprung trap, Lord Taylor does a Daredevil and
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
Adding a militant edge to this show was someone else’s bright idea. Gotham needed something to combat the rise of these villains and their answer came in spades this week.
Back history, pipe bombs and flame retardant arsonists are just a few things on offer this week in Gotham. Giving us an antique blade, old wife’s tale and a suitably
Storm clouds are gathered and winter is coming but this is no Game of Thrones. As Essen bleeds out and Gordon’s face turns to Mount Rushmore, you feel some serious
Up in your face like Eli Roth on acid, episode two carves its intention across the screen using big fat marker pens. Coming across like a youthful Nicholson with
From the opening frame of this new season Gotham seems like a different animal. There is a swagger in the step, a confidence somehow sealed in stone, which was lacking
Perched on the prow and majestic in torchlight stood a figurehead. Her vessel advanced with all the ceremony of a Viking burial, only to dispatch them moments later, like
I find myself between a rock and a hard place. With metaphorical marching bands and the news of another royal mouth to feed, we find ourselves at an end.
For anyone up on their entertainment news it comes as little surprise that Jada Pinkett Smith is leaving Gotham. With a heavy heart we bid farewell to someone who has
This was to be my grand gesture. A return to form and way back from literary oblivion. Gotham was the weapon of choice, episode eighteen and nineteen the literary armour
Unbalanced personalities, damaged psychosis and narrative conventions all jostle for position, in this penultimate portion of Gotham on Fox. Erin Richards, all but forgotten in the ebb and flow of
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
David O’Hara has a face you recognise, even if the name leaves a lesser impression. Character actor familiar from Braveheart, Wanted and Scorsese’s The Departed he brings a lot of acting luggage with
It occurs to me that I may have been a little harsh on Julian Sands. For whatever reason I failed to buy into his portrayal of Dr Gerald Crane,
Julian Sands has always been a jobbing actor in predominantly risible fare. Warlock with the far superior Richard E Grant anyone? Or perhaps you prefer the less than engaging Boxing Helena with Miss Twin
This should have been called something like ‘Coming Home To Roost’, more snappy, less obvious, no spoon feeding of your demographic. This would make for a less obvious tagline
I am going to say something which makes me sound old. Watching the latest episode from Gotham’s playlist this week made me think of Terri Hatcher. Not the Hatcher from televisual
A Penny(worth) for your thoughts? Alfred gets medieval while ‘Gotham’ goes to the dogs… ‘Lovecraft’ is a great name but not it turns out such a great title. What
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
There’s a change in the air. Subconsciously Gotham has come of age. Aside from Jada Pinkett and Corey Michael Smith’s pantomime villainy, there remains little evidence of formulaic police drama.
This week I am late out of the blocks. Ratings have risen, new hope has been granted from the critical hand that feeds, while my foresight regarding Robin Lord
Something from the past comes back to haunt Gotham’s police department, while things come to a head for one of their newest recruits… Character development for the sake of
Gordon gets an unwelcome summons while sales of milk go through the roof in Gotham… Corruption in big business has been the backbone of many a good police drama. Whether
Gotham hits the ground running with low cost housing and clean water initiatives for Arkham Asylum seekers… Expectations are fragile things. In life as in art we heap our
