This episode may feature a circus, but actually feeling like one, in terms of content, was not the best approach, as it stepped on its own toes constantly, in an effort to make each storyline resonate.
There are two moments in this episode that send shivers down your spine. Two moments that shock and throw you off-guard. Two moments that make sure this will always rate as one of the best episodes of Gotham's first season.
"The Blind Fortune Teller" is everything Gotham's supposed to be: brimming with a slightly unhinged, goofy gothic quality, clown fistfights, supervillain origins and some stuff I can't even comprehend.
So many episodes of the show have given hints as to what Gotham could be if only it could find some narrative depth and focus, and "The Blind Fortune Teller" is another one of those episodes.
