Gotham - Season 3, Episode 07: Mad City: Red Queen
Trailer
Gordon hopes to return the city to the glamorous, purer version he remembers as a child as he chases after an escapee while Bruce's doppelganger roams the streets.
The payoff with Gordon's father, while worthwhile, could have been delivered in a more straightforward manner. That aside, there's not all that much to recommend about this episode.
This season has done a gripping job comparing Gotham to the depraved and topsy-turvy Wonderland. Both are filled with outlandish and evil characters, but Gotham has a darker side.
The not-so-good: everything else and do not get me started on Penguin's (Robin Lord Taylor) new role as the evil gay man creepily pining for his straight bestie while attempting to sabotage bestie's shiny new hetero hook-up.
After the madness of last week's Gotham, our suspicions about Jim Gordon's choice to tell the Mad Hatter to kill his ex Lee instead of his new girlfriend Valerie Vale were proven right.
Welcome back, Jim. It took him a while, but Jim finally faced his demons on Gotham Season 3 Episode 7 and ended back on the GCPD, right where he belongs.
I love that Gotham is setting up a love triangle that only one participant is aware of, because it highlights wonderfully the character this particular Penguin has become over three seasons.
