Gotham 4x6 : Hog day afternoon review


Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.

 Going to start this review off by saying that this week's episode of Gotham was absolutely brilliant. It is this show back at it's absolute best. One of the reasons why this show was such a big success in S2 and some of S3 was because of the villains. Lots of Batman villains done with comic accuracy and it was just a whole lot of fun. This episode reminded me of that and I loved it so much.

 Professor PYG has arrived in Gotham, killing cops who are on Penguin's payroll and dressing them in severed Pig heads, seriously creepy stuff but like I said I loved it. We see PGY in his warehouse / slaughterhouse prepping a PYG head for his next victim while we hear opera music blaring in the background to which he hums along. This was so similar to the Arkham Knight video game and just the overall tone was seriously creepy. PYG honestly feels like a perfect fit for this show and he has another episode next week which I can't wait for now. 

 Lee agrees to help Ed regain his memory as we learn that in return for being a doctor for the fight club she runs her own practice in the narrows for people who were affected by the Alice Tetch virus. She's running low on medication so that's when she agrees to help Ed as he has been making money from Grundy fighting. Speaking of Grundy he fights his way to the top of the fight club and basically becomes it's top attraction which in turn helps Ed make a lot of cash. I like the dynamic between Lee Grundy and Ed and I'm excited to see what happens between them all over the course of the next few episodes at least. 

 Onto the whole Penguin and Sofia storyline and I'm just going to keep this short. I don't like this at all, the actress Crystal Reed who plays Sofia just isn't believable at all at least in my opinion. I wanna see the badass and crazy side of Penguin that we saw in season's 1 and 2. But instead we get an almost loved up Oswald as we see him struggle with the thought of her lying to him. He goes as far to have Zsaz spy on her to find out what she is up to. Later Penguin accuses her of lying to him and buying property to start a war against him. She did put some property but it turns out she has opened an orphanage for children. This was out of the blue but obviously Sofia is up to something and to be honest I don't like this storyline at all. Without this going on in the episode this would have been the perfect Gotham episode but nope it just ways it down a bit. 

 More on Professor PYG and the actor who plays him is just spot on. One thing I love about Gotham is how good their casting choices are and this is no exception. He's creepy, funny and just downright scary at times. I can't wait to see more of him next week and hopefully he isn't killed off so we can see him again in the future. More episodes like this and Gotham will be back to it's best.

★★★★

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
