AVClub: After a first season defined by case-of-the-week procedural stories, Gotham returned in its second season with the goal of crafting a longer narrative arc. Theo Galavan became the focus of Gotham, moving from possibly gold-hearted philanthropist to evil mastermind determined to settle a centuries old blood feud with the Wayne family by killing Bruce Wayne. That story was Gotham‘s first attempt at sidestepping its procedural origins— though various villains certainly popped in and out throughout this season’s first half—and, for the most part, the show fell flat. It had trouble balancing the need for new villains, which is a major part of just about every superhero show on TV right now, while also advancing the main story, which was the crumbling of Jim Gordon’s morality.
