The ninth episode continued what the eighth one started. It brought more light into the plot, so what could be only speculated was clarified. I enjoy the fact that the creators didn't play the series unilaterally, they don't divide everything into black and white, I would rather say that the season has been dominated by gray so far.

The seventh episode slowed down in such a way that I began to suspect complete calmness and thought that the creators somehow forgot and focused only on the physical pleasure of the main characters. However, in the end, it turned out that I would have received a lot of new information if the script hadn't covered it up with a thick fog. So, to sum it up, it was an excellent biological-meteorological episode.

I was very satisfied with the fifth episode, I just wouldn't recommend watching it for paranoid people as their condition could significantly worsen. After all, even I noticed something suspicious about that man when I took a quick look in the mirror...

It is already quite clear that the second season does not even come close to the previous one. Intelligent humor has gradually disappeared and has been replaced by a strange substitute that Master Troška favors. Nevertheless, I have been patient with the decline so far, but if the creators come up with something similar in the next episode, I will not hesitate anymore.

The plot of the third episode did not focus as much on the main characters anymore, the creators developed a side story around the Saudi prince and made it clear that the series might not appeal to all American patriots, considering how the CIA treats the expendability of its sources.

It rarely happens that I am sure after the first episode of a series that I will like it, but this time the creators managed to convince me of that. I was pleased with the casting of the individual characters, the theme, and its execution in the form of the script, and I am looking forward to seeing how everything will develop in the next episodes.

The characters I liked the most this season were Penguin, Riddler, Ivy Pepper, and surprisingly Barbara who had been getting on my nerves for two seasons. The romantic/irritating duo of Jim Gordon/Leslie Thompkins, on the other hand, truly managed to bum me out. I liked all those sketchy characters that have emerged in Gotham, and I liked the gradual transformation of the existing characters into future guardians of the city. What disappointed me was the absolutely lackluster Court of Owls and the constant efforts to build up suspense by putting in danger the characters who couldn’t possibly come to any substantial harm.

Before the start of the third season, I would have expected a more spectacular finale, but now I'm glad that it turned out at least like this. The comedic duo Penguin/Riddler finally got more screen time, so I could have some fun, but that terrible melodrama between Jim and Lee annoys me terribly. I don't know why, but I have great concerns that it didn't end well in that train. I'm also afraid of how many corpses the creators will bring back into play in the next season.

The twenty-first episode brought chaos to the city and mostly deals with the attempt to obtain an antidote to the virus that transforms the inhabitants of Gotham, but I got a riddle to solve that I can't handle, and I think even the Riddler would be stumped by it. How did Bruce, tied to the table, manage to get a pen in the pocket of his suit jacket on the opposite chair?

Oh, Jim Gordon was in danger again, I was so tense, I wonder how it will turn out! I quite enjoyed the tie scene with Dr. Strange, but Lee is now only portrayed as an annoying obstacle in the story, thankfully Barbara's nerves are holding up well again.
