Gotham Season 2 Episode 16 "Prisoners" Review


After Gordon is removed from protective custody, he begins to face new threats and dangers inside prison walls. In order to survive, he must rely on a new friend as well as Bullock and other outside help. Meanwhile, Penguin grows closer to his Father, while his step-mother and step-siblings move forward with their own plans for the family.

This was a really great episode that did an amazing job at focusing only on two different stories and doing a great job at putting a high amount of detail into those two stories. The first story was all about Gordon and his time in prison and all the problems that went along with that. It was fun to see him and how he went from being in this one part of the prison where everyone was alright with him and he was doing fine, to then being moved to the part of the prison with all the people that he's put in there. And just seeing how angry everyone seemed to be at him because the one head of the jail told them to be. I really wish that we could have known more about the one kid who helped to save him because he just seemed to be thrown in there and you get to hear some of his story but he's not really knowing anything about him as a character you've ever been introduced to before, I don't think. Even though I really did enjoy seeing this kid because he was so happy and willing to live in prison because he knew he had to serve his time and that's all he cared about as well as Gordon. And so ending with this kid it was so sad to me. Then the other part in this episode was all about Penguin and his dad and all that family and after I watch the last episode I've had got the feeling that this other family I was only in there to get Penguins father's money so when that all turned out to be true I kind of was like alright, but the way they went about doing it was a little weird. Where they are slowly killing Penguin's father and then they just straight-up try to get rid of Penguin and then tried to kill him. But in the end, none of that seemed to work out cause Penguin is so changed from what it used to be. So I'm very curious to see what's all going to happen with them in the future now that Penguins father is gone. And his overall this was a really great and fun episode.
