What's more under that Hat?


If I have to say what was the best thing in the latest edition of Gotham then my answer would definitely be the Mad Hatter story line. I have to admit that I didn’t find Benedict Samuel who plays Jervis Tetch, as convincing in his role in the previous episode but after watching his performance in the last episode, I would say he definitely has well established his character in the small screen. The makers of the show have well defined dark setting around Madder Hatter and his obsessive concerns about his sister Alice. The quick rivalry between James Gordon and Mad Hatter was well crafted.

Another remarkable aspect of the episode was the relationship between Oswald and Enigma. I loved how the makers created a quick tension between the two and then turned it into a strong bond of friendship. The best part of this segment was that Enigma ask Oswald a riddle to which he ignores it at first but in the end he find the answer to it and with it he also did find how much Enigma cared for him.

Now let’s talk about Bruce’s doppelganger. His acquaintance with Selina Kyle was fast paced and was sure messy. Although David Mazouz portrayed this character quite well, even better than what he does with Bruce Wayne if I might add, I believe the character was being rushed though out the episode. I am in the opinion that the character deserved more amount of writing and more screen time with Selina.


So overall it was good episode. I am looking forward to what direction will the Mad Hatter head next. And also there is something interesting they have decided to with Captain Barnes. There is of course the clown prince of crime ‘The Joker’ who is coming to Gotham but I do not want it to be Jerome because that it would be complete stupidity.
