The Penguin

After last weeks ending was hoping it would continue from there but what a bait and switch.

It was good seeing Oz's childhood and upbringing but didn't feel like we needed an almost full episode showing it, hopefully the finale next week is better.

You didn't think it was important to find out that he
basically killed his brothers
?
 
I have to agree with Vincent, folks knew what a despicable pos he was but the additional backstory really shows what he is. Thought it was a great episode myself.

No we all needed to know he did that and see what his upbringing was like to make him the man he is today but didn't need an almost full episode run time, and they could have done so much more i.e. a cold open where Sofia had killed his mother with how the last episode ended and seeing how that pans out.

Yeah I agree, I thought it was the weakest episode as well. Hopefully the finale wraps up the series in style though.
 
It really is a weird watch because they are all POS but it's so engrossing. The first 7 episodes seem to have flown by and only one left now. Should be a good finale.
 
The last episode - wow. 10/10
It was a great ending, but it had a few weird miss-steps, such as:

Oz freeing himself from the chair and managing to escape.

Sofia's relationship with the doctor. Where did he go in this episode after the chair scene? Then he was suddenly her doctor again at Arkham Asylum.

But an excellent series on the whole and I hope we might get more TV series in this version of Gotham, even if Penguin isn't front and centre. Matt Reeves has sort of hinted at this and I presume this series has done very well in the ratings? I know the reviews were very positive.
 
Brilliant bit of tv that, pretty much perfect throughout for me aside from some very very minor complaints. Got to be a shoe in for all the awards surely.
