What to Know

Critics Consensus

"Azrael" manages to safely land several daffy plot contrivances, elevated by pleasingly broad performances by James Train and B.D. Wong.

I hope FOX put a deposit down on its Arkham Asylum sets because B.D. Wong and James Frain just chewed the scenery to pieces Go to Full Review Keertana Sastry Entertainment Weekly 05/03/2016
God only knows what will happen next. But if this leads to some kind of evil collaboration between Hugo Strange and the Riddler, it's bound to be some pretty damn good television...hopefully. Go to Full Review Kyle Fowle AV Club 05/03/2016

"Azrael" succeeds in large part because of the performances, as many of them are firing on all cylinders here. Go to Full Review Robert Yaniz, Jr. Screen Rant 07/18/2018
This easily could have been the show's true jumping-the-shark moment. However, the series instead embraces the fact that the city has gotten so insane and leans into the sheer absurdity of this town populated with all manner of wacky evildoer. Go to Full Review Karmen Fox Baltimore Sun 07/18/2018
"Azrael" sets up the remaining episodes of Season 2 of Gotham nicely by reviving old grudges and giving them a new identity. Go to Full Review Kayti Burt Den of Geek 07/18/2018
