Episode 2 deepens the intrigue, with strong dialogue and plot that keep you hooked. The pacing is excellent, allowing moments of tension to build while showcasing the stunning set designs that brings us further into Oswald's world. The supporting cast also brings depth, making every scene engaging.

Cant for the next episode!

Episode 2 is fraught with intensity, guesswork and trepidation, as we see our favourite villain web his schemes.

Outstanding performances all around. As with the debut, gripping with emotion and suspense.

Colin Farrel has to be a guaranteed nomination for an Emmy. Never before have we seen a character with such a lack of charisma, but absolute scene stealing empowerment; the epitome of class, since Walter White or Tony Soprano.

This is sheer perfection at its best. The ultimate in entertainment, for the educated mind.

I am so enthralled with this series. Its natural to take a step back from the debut, that's the big one, and the next shouldn't come until the finale.

However this episode keeps it rolling from Ep.1 and shows necessary character development, with rugged, unapologetic indescretion.

Bare in mind, The Penguin is the bad guy. We shouldn't be rooting for him. But nobody seems to be the "good guy" here, which makes it so easy for us to get lost in 'The Penguin's' world.

I love it. Because much like the aforementioned White & Soprano, they WERE indeed, the bad guys, that we somehow found ourselves rooting for.

This truly is storytelling at its finest. Locked in after 1 episode, lost in it after 2. Anticipating the changes to come in episode 3. This show is contagious and everyone should feel its infection.

I cannot voice enough my pleasure at watching this series. Also, the continuity from "The Batman" to this series is very evident, and I appreciate that so much.

I only hope they don't mess with the films that defects the storylines here. Because this is a series that could go 3 or 4 seasons, all pending on how the next film is written.

So I am going to enjoy this show while its here, whether its 1 season or 10.

Its just so good so far, and if you're reading this there's a good chance you'll agree also.

Episode 2 Entertainment Value 9/10 Overall Rating 9/10

Can't wait for the next episode.

I find it ironic that Oz says trust me so much and the same man is one of the most untrustworthy people in Gotham, I love it.

Episode 2 picks up with Sofia struggling on adapting to a "normal" life outside Arkham. Oz is playing his strength as the middle main, trying to juggle the Falcones and the Maronis. With both families showing they have little to no respect for Oz, he gets a chance to show what he can do during a drops stash move. This leads to a plethora of issues for Oz and he has to be kept on his toes.

Yea another fantastic episode, I'm really enjoying Oz and Sofia a lot! You can see slowly there is a form of a relationship blossoming. And I like that the trailers and clips for the series are 99% episodes 1 and 2 leaving the next 6 a complete surprise.

The absolute grit and grime of Gotham is so enjoyable to watch, that mixed with a great score and also stellar performances it's hard not to enjoy the show.

People compare it to the sopranos style and breaking bad formula dialogue but honestly I see the Penguin holding its own so far, with perfect pace and good progression each episode, this could be a major hit, 8.5/10.

Following the thrilling setup of Episode 1, "Inside Man" catapults the narrative to new heights, sustaining the tension and drama that audiences eagerly anticipate.

This installment delves deeper into themes of mystery and subterfuge, portraying Oz as a master trickster-everything about him is meticulously crafted, leaving viewers questioning what is real and what is mere facade.

Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti deliver performances that are nothing short of electrifying, expertly weaving nuance and depth into their characters. Their chemistry and commitment not only breathe life into the narrative but also create a captivating tension that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The episode continues to unravel Gotham's corrupt underbelly, painting a vivid portrait of a city steeped in moral ambiguity.

The storytelling is nothing less than commendable, as "Inside Man" offers a richly layered exploration of its characters. The writers skillfully delve into their motivations and backstories, enhancing the viewer's understanding of their intricate psyches and the machinations that drive them. This narrative feels both profound and grounded, inviting audiences to invest in the complex web of relationships and rivalries.

A standout feature of this episode is its portrayal of women in the crime families, who are seamlessly woven into the narrative without feeling contrived. Their roles are vital and thoughtfully crafted, adding compelling layers to the storyline.

In summary, "Inside Man" expertly expands on its predecessor episode, deepening the plot while adding new layers of complexity. It strikes a perfect balance, resembling a high-stakes game of chess where Oz makes bold moves to climb the ranks, all while navigating significant risks.
