What to Know

Critics Consensus

Gotham finds the right mix of creepy and fun, even when the plot of "Under the Knife" spreads the characters a bit too thin.

What's a boy to do? That's the question posed by tonight's episode, "Under the Knife," and the answer: Not much worth watching, unfortunately. Go to Full Review Simon Abrams New York Magazine/Vulture 04/21/2015
3/5
The most promising part of "Under the Knife" is the mentor/pupil dynamic the Ogre tries to foster with Barbara Kean. Go to Full Review Vinnie Mancuso Observer 04/21/2015
Sometimes it's okay for super villains to find out they don't really mind murder, and maybe they ALSO love riddles. They can take their time with these things. Go to Full Review Robert Yaniz, Jr. Screen Rant 08/06/2020
The twisted romance of the Ogre and Barbara doesn't exactly fall flat, but it is perhaps one of the less interesting aspects of an episode loaded with more intriguing B-story. Go to Full Review Karmen Fox Baltimore Sun 08/06/2020
I liked how "Under the Knife" discussed how people create alter egos to protect themselves. It plays into the Batman mythos masterfully. Go to Full Review Joseph McCabe Nerdist 08/06/2020
Fish Mooney, the character with arguably the most agency, is nowhere to be seen in "Under the Knife," and so we're forced to confront and reevaluate the other women on Gotham. What we find isn't exactly heartening. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
