Gotham

Sunday. Another week past. Even though Gotham was in the beginning of the week, I would still want to write the review today. Gotham isn't a series I can just watch on the day itself, it's a series my fiance is interested in, which means I can only watch it when he has time to watch it. And since he's a workaholic that works almost 24/7 on his games it happens that sometimes the series pile up. Like Gotham in this case.
Eventually Friday he made time and we watched Gotham 2x02 and 2x03.

**CAUTION** SPOILER ALERT This entry contains spoilers from Gotham 2x02 and 2x03

Last season when Gotham came out I wasn't such a fan. We watched it every week because my fiance was sold from the first second. Eventually I stopped paying attention. Until the last 2 episodes. Somehow the story became more interesting then, in my opinion.
I was a bit skeptical after the first episode of the new season but then I watched episode 2 and 3 and I can only say "Wauw" seriously. It's so dark that it makes you uncomfortable that you're laughing and enjoying he episodes.

There is the moment when Jerome (played by Cameron Monaghan) drenches a schoolbus with teenager into benzine. All I could see was how fun it must be to play that role and stand there with that hose and splash the benzine on everyone.

And then his plan fails so he decides to attack the police station instead. Barbara Kean (played by Erin Richards) lures detective Gordon (played by Ben McKenzie) away. That's the moment by the way that you can see that she'll become Harley Quinn.

Or at least that is what I think. I was convinced that Jerome becomes The Joker, but then he died.
But back to the police station. The whole scene is so cruel and wrong, but you can't help hiding a smirk because of his laugh.

I tip my hat to the actingjob of Cameron Monaghan. He putted the role down perfectly. He would have been the perfect Joker. He even made me forget for a second that there was penguin in the series.
The entire two episodes the only reason why I was looking was because of him. Excellently done. And we hope to see more of you one way or the other.
Somehow I'm still expecting that Theo Galavan (Played by James Frain) will use his weird powers that I haven't been able to place yet to resurrect Jerome. And who knows maybe Jerome will be The Joker after all.
If that is the case. I called it first! :D

I could talk hours about this episode. But my arms are already hurting from typing so, I'll see you tomorrow with a new story.
