Gotamas The Anvil or the Hammer (2014–2019) watch online HD

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.

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.

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.
