Featured review
9.7-my personal favourite Gotham episode
Not only does 'a bitter pill to swallow' contain some of the best action scenes in the series but it has such an impact on the story. It starts off brilliants and gradually gets better and better. It's dark, compelling and very suspenseful to watch. A very overlooked episode and I'll probably never get tired of watching. If I were to give a summary
Plot:9.6/10
Protagonist:10/10
Side characters 10/10
Action:10/10
Suspense:9.8/10
Pacing:10/10
Cinematography:10/10
Introduction:7/10
Ending:9.8/10
it's one of my favourite episodes in fiction and I still remember watching it for the first time to this day. Even if you don't watch gotham you should watch this.
