My Review of "Gotham: Season 5 Episode 1: Year Zero"

What a comeback!!! What a beginning, what a middle act, and what a finale act.

Jim Gordon's war with the Penguin and with the Sirens was cool. Robin Lord Taylor gave one of his best performances yet, and they finally got rid of one of the most annoying characters one the show, YESSS!!!!!!!! Watch out Penguin, Barbara is not the only one who is going to come after you because of what you did.

The battle between Gordon and Scarecrow was awesome. While Bruce's fight with the scarecrow's gang reminded me of Batman Begins a lot.

The Riddler's storyline is very intriguing as well, should be interesting as to what they end up doing with him. Cory Michael Smith does a good job at portraying a broken Riddler.

Selina Kyle's storyline is going to be a rough journey for me and a lot of people who heavily ship her and Bruce. Camren Bicondova once again shows why she is arguably one of the best actors on the show. Hopefully, they don't pull a late season 3 concerning her relationship with Bruce Wayne. Also, it should be interesting as too who the Witch is that the Nurse spoke of, I have my suspicions as to who it is, and I think that it is Poison Ivy.

The shot of Gordon looking at his map with the words hahahahahahaha written all over it was a great way to tease the reemergence of Jeremiah Valeska, AKA The Joker.

Overall, tonight's episode of Gotham was a satisfying episode that benefited from the emotion behind some of its characters, well shot fight scenes, and strong performances from Ben Mckenzie, Robin Lord Taylor, Camren Bicondova, and David Mazouz.

Out of 4 stars I would give it...

4 out of 4 stars.
