this week's episode was interesting. Gotham can be compared to a rollercoaster. One episode is watchable and the next one is utterly awful.
This episode was thrilling because it focused on a bigger storyline and it picked up right after the end of last episode.
This was a Jim Gordon centric episode. It dealt with him deciding to stay in the city he loves and fight for his life and freedom. He showed courage and resiliance when he decided to counterattack the mob families by arresting them all for the conspiracy of the Arkham Asylum.
Another positive of the show was the discovery that Falcone has an ace up his sleeve in Oswald Cobblepot who has been his mole all along. I thought this was a very interesting plot twist which was set up really well and explained why The Penguin decided to come back to Gotham and risk his life. Another great performance this episode by Robin Lord Taylor who has been the scene stealer ever since the first episode.
We also got to see Harvey getting back to the good side when he decided to join Gordon's crusade of arresting all major criminals of Gotham in one day. Perhaps we'll see an evolution of his character through the example set by Gordon. This is what ultimately Gordon will do, he won't give people hope but at least he will try to lead by example the Gotham Police Departement.
The only negative for me was actually Bruce Wayne and Alfred parts which seemed to forced and out of place. Honestly if they have a good episode in their hands they could spare us another scene of Bruce in his house trying to play detective.
Overall good episode and here's next week sneak peek
