Cent'Anni

Firstly, this episode has to be an Emmy nomination for Cristin Milioti.

This episode goes back 10 years ago and we see how Sofia ends up in Arkham Asylum. Staying there for over 10 years has worn her down to say the least. This episode is all Sofia while also jumping to the current time and how she deals with the blow of last week.

Wow, wow, wow, this episode was absolutely fantastic! Sofia has been put through just sheer amount of torture for years !!! Claiming to be innocent of the crimes that are against her we see what that has done to her.

The whole 30 minute Arkham stint is HORRIBLE in a great way, normally I hate flash back episodes and usually skip through but I can honestly say I wouldn't skip a minute of this episode!

Cant fault this in any way, sheer brilliance in all areas ! This show just keeps getting better and better, 9/10.

Cristin Milioti delivers a powerhouse performance that not only grounds the episode but elevates the entire series. Milioti brings an extraordinary blend of grit and vulnerability to her role, making her character unforgettable in a gritty Gotham setting.

This episode allows Milioti to explore the full depth of her character's emotions, and she leans into the tension with intensity and nuance. Milioti captures a simmering rage and fearlessness, making her character's motives feel both deeply personal and hauntingly universal. It's not just that she's believable-she's magnetic, transforming every scene she's in, whether through a silent, haunted stare or an explosive confrontation.

Episode 4 cements Milioti as one of The Penguin's standout talents, proving she's not just a supporting player but a pivotal force in the show's unfolding drama. This episode, like each before it, stands as a testament to the high caliber performances that make The Penguin unmissable and has me awaiting where the series will go next.

Damn what a surprise of an episode! This show consistently theows stories of high quality at us, and I am very thrilled at how great it really turns out to be!

This episode gets dark and more disturbing as it explores a place we have only briefly seen, or heard about in a sinister context! Arkham Asylum is portrayed masterfully with its dark and grim atmosphere!

This show is not affraid to get uncomfortable with this episode and I qm very pleased with this, as it nails the tone! To me, I think this is a better portrayal of Arkham than the one we got in JOKER 2!

The amounts of twists does not stop either! It was equally and intense and captivating experience, with Christin completely stealing the show as Sofia Falcone!

Wow.. just wow!

This episode was truly incredible, and found me sympathizing with a lead who had been mostly a side character until this point. Be the end of the episode, I was rooting for her more than I have ever rooted for a character, and then once the credits started to role, I remembered "oh yeah, she's the bad guy..." I've never had a show trick me into caring so much about anyone, let alone the villain.

This show is amazing. There are so many layers, and they keep peeling back more. I thought this show was going to be a cash grab to get Farrel back into the fat suit and just spend more time in the Batman universe so Max can stay relevant, but boy was I wrong. This show deserves to be on. It might be the best thing on tv right now.

The whole series so far is amazing, but this episode is a cut above.

This episode is proof alone, if any was really needed, of why a lot of the comic-book movies we're getting lately would be far better served by being made into series instead. Especially when the time and effort that went into this episode in particular is put into them in general.

Cristin Milioti shows incredible work in an episode that's light on the Oz stuff in favour of building out her backstory further - with a welcome, though brief, appearance by the always wonderful Mark Strong as her father Carmine - and also showing the potential she has to become a force of nature herself. It was also great to see Theo Rossi pop up again, but it's always great to see him in the screen.

I honestly have a hard time believing how much better this series gets as it goes along, and I kinda hope it never ends.
