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.
