’Gotham’ 3.04 ”New Day Rising” Review: Gordon Vs Mad Hatter

#4 – Mad Hatter Vs Gordon

Jervis’ creepiness went up a notch quite a lot in this week’s episode, but hey, that’s what you get when your name is the Mad Hatter, right? Something we don’t get a lot on this show are psychological villains so instead of the usual physical fights, we saw Gordon having to overcome his obstacle in a psychological way, mostly. What I didn’t expect though was that their encounter in the end would result with poor Alice’s tragic accidental death, which is surely going to get Jervis even crazier. Even though I haven’t grown attached to Alice, it felt really unnecessary to kill her off this early, which is where I feel the fast pacing this season needs to slow down a bit. This is a 22-episode per season show after all, there is no need to burn through story this fast, but what’s done is done.
