This review contains spoilers. 5.2 Trespassers Gotham: It’s like Game Of Thrones without dragons! Not really (if it was. Barbara would totes have dragons), but let’s give Gotham credit for creating this fiefdom-like struggle for the suddenly very medieval modern city. The No Man’s Land status quo of Gotham is one hell of a story engine that could add some great dénouements to the multi-season members of the huge cast. It allows for the final season to be so much more than a ‘baddie of the week’ type of deal and truly could turn the final season into a crazy ensemble piece....
