TV Review: Gotham S1E19 Beasts of Prey

gotham cast Gordon and Bullock inspect a cold case involving “the Ogre”, a serial killer who targets young women in Gotham City. Meanwhile, Fish plots her escape from the Dollmaker, and Bruce and Selina confront Reggie.

Gotham‘s back after a short break to give us a new villain for Bullock and Gordon to search for, Fish’s escape plan, and Bruce dealing with the fact that Alfred was shot. The episode is really mix in quality.

The best part is the serial killer aspect, with Gordon and Bullock acting more like police in a weird city than going after knock-offs of Batman’s rogues gallery. The killer is interesting, and the fact it’s multiple episodes is a nice way to end the season, especially with only three episodes left.

Fish’s storyline has taken up WAY too much time in the series. It needs to end, and it looks like we’re close to that. Out of everything in this first season, Fish has been the low point.

Bruce also going out and finding Reggie is a bit odd. His storyline is only slightly better than Fish’s. Less Bruce, less Fish, better series.

The episode is just ok, and in general a weak return. The high point is we have some foreshadowing of Gordon’s future job in the police force. There’s only three episodes left, hopefully they’re better than this one.

Overall Score: 7
