My generation grew up with Alan Partridge, Steve Coogan’s fictional presenter. You tended to find at school you either fell into the Partridge group or the Ali G group.
I could hardly believe there was going to be a Alan Partridge movie when it was announced and managed to miss out on seeing it in the cinema. I finally sat down to watch it hoping that it was going to be everything I wanted a Alan Partridge movie to be…
As the poster said “12 Hostages, 24 hours, 1 Partridge….”
Another explosive episode as Penguin goes to save his mother and we finally learn whether or not Theo has managed to become Mayor.
Not only is Galavan working on bringing down Bruce Wayne, becoming mayor of Gotham and framing Penguin for every evil thing he does we also have him unintentionally making other villains as well.
Episode 6 continues the sad story of Gotham’s Firefly.
With the events of the opening trio of episodes out of the way, Jerome is gone and Theo Galavan’s plan to take over Gotham as the “hero” that everyone wants it is all change for the GCPD.
Episode three of the second season of Gotham feels like a season finale with the big players within Manix making a big play.
I didn’t think too much of the season opener but looking back I’m not sure I’ve ever been that keen on many of their “big” episodes finding that the first season worked more as a whole then on a individual episode level.
Seeing this is part one of a story of three episodes I will actually hold my breath and hope for the best.
I can not tell you how impressed I was with the first season of Gotham. The second season looks to be even better. I’ve been waiting for it to premier but where do we go from here?
