What to Know

Critics Consensus

The action and use of the ensemble in "The Blind Fortune Teller" add excitement to an otherwise disappointing introduction of an iconic Batman villain.

Michael Calia Wall Street Journal 08/06/2020
The moment Jerome, with a psychotic grin and an unhinged cackle, reveals his guilt during an interrogation is chilling, and you can see why it looks like Jerome will eventually become the greatest of Batman's nemeses. Go to Full Review Simon Abrams New York Magazine/Vulture 08/06/2020

Tonight's Gotham is all about the ladies, which is surprising considering how poorly this show's ladies are written. Go to Full Review Vinnie Mancuso Observer 02/24/2015
If you're going to deviate, Gotham, can you at least, I don't know, put some effort into it? Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 08/06/2020
That was Cameron Monaghan putting on a minute's worth of (an admittedly effective) Joker impression... This three-scene role was literally, and figuratively a "Shameless" ploy, and Gotham is now actively insulting your intelligence with its nonsense. Go to Full Review Joseph McCabe Nerdist 08/06/2020
