Gotham is basically a fusion of Chicago and New York in this, no? Kinda makes it easier to believe.

I like how the worse things get Penguin seems to get more excited and happy. The end made me laugh he seemed to be loving it.

Finally got around to episode 4. I love this show.
Mildly bummed they couldn’t get Turturro. I’m a Strong fan but I love what JT did as Carmine in the movie.

Definitely Tony. He's also got a cold-blooded weirdo for a mother.spike wrote:is the penguin silvio then?Ello Sailor wrote:So it's basically Sopranos: Gotham. This has some real potential.

Theo Rossi (Dr. Rush from Arkham) is not a good actor. And his character is so poorly written. Definitely a weak link in an otherwise excellent show.

Sounds like he didn’t like the script:Ensign9 wrote:I dig it. Farrell is outstanding.
They really couldn’t get Turturro?

*applause*
Probably the most predictable sequence of events we could've gotten but it was no less riveting because of it. Great stuff.

Stuck the landing. Good stuff.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I bought into all the Sopranos comparisons and tried this today. Made it about 45 minutes into episode 1. Does it get better? It just felt so goddamn dull. Penguin goes someplace and has a tense, boring conversation. Then he goes to another place and has another tense, boring conversation. Then he goes to a third place and has yet another tense, boring conversation. Over and over. Fuck, man
