Gotham: Season 4 – UK Region

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Season Four of GOTHAM will witness the emergence of the criminal landscape for which Gotham City is best known, with JIM GORDON (Ben McKenzie) and HARVEY BULLOCK (Donal Logue) at the forefront of the fight against the most depraved and unhinged villains. As the citizens of Gotham City fight for normalcy, a new hero begins to rise. BRUCE WAYNE (David Mazouz), after completing his training with Temple Shaman (guest star Raymond J. Barry) and R’AS AH GHUL (Alexander Siddig), has decided that he is responsible for the city’s well-being. With the help of his ever-faithful butler ALFRED PENNYWORTH

Pax Penguina got Gotham’s fourth season off to a rough start. There were some promising elements, but overall this was a disappointment on many levels.

The most irritating development was Penguin is legitimizing crime in the city. Now to commit crimes, Gotham’s underworld has to see him for a permit. By itself, that’s an interesting concept, but it quickly gets terrible when all the top Gotham officials go along with it.

Once again, Gotham is resorting to its old faithful plot of Jim Gordon being the only incorruptible authority figure. It was very annoying listening to Bullock trying to rationalize the permits. The show has advanced so much more from Bullock constantly compromising and willing to turn a blind eye to crime as necessary.

Gotham Season 4 Episode 22, “No Man’s Land,” isn’t your typical season finale. It bucks the norm — and does so with flare.

Most season finales often oversimplify problems that take all year to close. Instead, Gotham chooses to avoid tying almost every storyline up. What we are left with is a big, beautiful (yet messy) knot, that will take at least another year to unravel.

Fortunately, FOX has given us 13 more episodes to do just that.

This season of Gotham has been disjointed at best and absolutely impenetrably chaotic at worse. Some story lines came and went that had little impact on the overall narrative of the season while other storylines became some of the most memorable in the show’s four-year history.

But Gothamites, we ended strong, really, really strong, and thank goodness the show got a fifth season (even it will be the final season) because with the myriad cliffhangers this week, we would have been hurting if we never got a catharsis from No Man’s Land.

Because kids, this week’s episode is a doozy. With Jeremiah teaming up with Ra’s Al Ghul to transform Gotham City into a Hell on Earth, with the bloody ending of the Riddler/Lee Thompkins romance, with the Penguin’s final plan in regards to Solomon Grundy revealed, with Bruce Wayne becoming Gotham’s protector, with Selena Kyle facing a tragic and uncertain future, and with the coming of No Man’s Land and the arrival of new Gotham City villains, the series has reached a crescendo of chaos that is as daring as it is mind blowingly all over the place. It can be said that Gotham has finally became the series it has always promised to be.
