This episode concluded the episodes related to The Ogre. And these three episodes were quite interesting to be honest. We saw Bruce engage to find out what his company was hiding from him, and he finally told Alfred about what happened to Reggie, which I think was a good choice. Barbra was back, and that certainly had an impact on Gordon, and it'll probably bring some difficulties to his relationship with Thompkins. But the thing that I liked the most about these episodes was the transformation of "The Riddler" here we saw him finally kill someone, which will have a great impact on him in future episodes I guess. And the war between Falcone and Maroni will be interesting in the next episode for sure.

The reign of terror ends while another starts
ksharath199910 January 2023
The serial killer storyline which was developed over three episodes end here. Personally for me it has worked better than expected. Although it was expected to be a filler plot it leaps forward due to the intense sequences and turns interesting. The other side is well maintained by Robin Lord Taylor's Penguin as he orchestrates plans to take over the city which is beautiful to watch, pure underworld vibe. Edward Nygma 's efforts to cover up his mistake is another interesting factor to watch this one and it is guaranteed he is moving to one hell of a comic accurate character. The ending was intense and sets up a grand finale.
Finally, the tedious nightmare is over

I've found Gotham to be very hit or miss, and episode 19 was, for me, a definite miss. I am not a fan of serial killers shows, which revel in making the audience watch nice people suffer (while Gotham always has people suffer, they're often not that nice, which makes it less disturbing). And the setup required Jim to be an idiot, neither recognizing an obvious set up nor thinking of a recent loved one. I hate it when supposedly intelligent characters totally miss things that I realize instantly.
It was terrible, but hey, it's just one episode, right? But it wasn't. It continued in episode 20. And then, finally, concluded in episode 21. The worst episode plot of the entire first seasons was extended for three lousy episodes. (And the most interesting subplot from 19 was simply dropped for the next two episodes.)
At its best, Gotham is great, but it's only at its best may half the time, and experiences like the last three episodes make me think that sooner or later I'm going to have to stop watching this show.

50 shades of Gotham

Warning: Spoilers
So, this whole serial killer angle turned out to be nothing but a bunch of empty filler until they could get to the finale. Oh, I suppose it served to try and make Barbara an interesting character, but otherwise it's just the roadie coming out on stage and asking us if we're ready to rock.
That's not to say that it isn't pretty good, because it is. It gets a little '50 Shades of Grey' at times, and logic is often taking a cat nap (no pun intended), but there's enough tension to make it work. Subplots factor in reasonably well; particularly young Bruce's increasing tunnel vision.

What is wrong with hurt Jim's ex
chapardarparisa10 October 2022
What the point of including Barbara in this stupid murdering scenario to let Jim heroically save her. Isn't Jim a trash that find someone as soon as leave Barbara? Ok maybe it was Barbara's fault but what was wrong with Barbara's ex cause she always flirt with her and as soon as she left Jim she said they shouldn't be together.
You want that everybody who left your stupid hero "Jim" be a miserable woman . It seems The authors have chip on their shoulder that want to disdain a woman because they left their hero.
And about Bruce:they really waste time to show childish story around him. Let him go as batman and don't waste our time.
