I am beginning to like Gotham the most when it lays a majority of its cards on the table and has episodes that could feel like a season finale or at least a mid-season break. This week’s Gotham is not…
TV Review: Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2×13) – “Payback”
I guess it was inevitable that Brooklyn Nine-Nine would produce an episode that largely missed the mark, but it doesn’t make it any less disappointing when it happens. “Payback” is a funny episode and, interestingly enough, a welcome showcase for…
