Nygma spends the episode transforming into The Riddler. The problem? The whole idea of the transformation is treated like a joke, as if Nygma can never really become a villain because he's going about it the wrong way and for the wrong reasons.

The irony of it all is that just as [Nygma] begins to ascertain that he doesn't need some grand archnemesis or best friend to become a true villain, he may have just gained an amalgamation of the two anyway. Go to Full Review Vinnie Mancuso Observer 04/25/2017
Straight up, this episode as a whole is terribly paced ... But underneath the mess episode writer Megan Mostyn-Brown has a ton of genuinely clever fun with Eddie and Oswald's relationship. Go to Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files 07/19/2018
7.5/10
While the main plot was highly entertaining, the subplots didn't inspire a ton of confidence. Go to Full Review Robert Yaniz, Jr. Screen Rant 07/19/2018
Ed has slowly evolved into one of the most fascinating villains on Gotham. Cory Michael Smith has long had a blast in the role, but this week, we finally get our first true taste of the show's version of one of Batman's signature roles. Go to Full Review Kiel Phegley CBR 05/17/2018
The occasional swells of creepy Elfman-esque music and well-composed shots of the grey, gruesome city can't make up for a multitude of plot holes and overkill dynamics. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
