This was a great start to this series! I really enjoyed everything bout this episode and how it sets up the rest of the show.
The feeling of Gotham is perfect, just a run down and hopeless city full of violence. After Riddler’s flood the wet and soggy streets just make ya feel slimy. like the city is some gross being. The fact that Oz can talk to Sal so openly bout crime also shows how it seems like everything and everybody is corrupt in the city.
Colln’s penguin is just fantastic. The Makeup work and everything bout his suit tells ya who he is. Like it makes me curious how he got his scar on his, why he has gold teeth or what in the world happened to his foot. He’s so ambitious and making all these big moves against the families is entertaining. Mixed with his rash actions makes him more interesting. I gotta say the interaction with him mom also tells a story of its own
Sofia was fantastic as well. The whole Arkham plot will be interesting to witness, Ya can tell how unhinged she is. Like ya feel uneasy when she on screen. I honestly would love to see Cristin as Harley Quinn. I think she’d be great
Finally, the episode captures the seedy underbelly of the crime world perfectly. The torture scene legit threw me for a loop.Did not expect that.
Rating. 8 stars
