Gotham - S2 • E4 Ratings & Reviews
PopMatters
Liz Medendorp
"The Strike Force" is a disappointingly uneventful letdown... The vast majority of the episode is bland, slow-moving exposition, just background for what we can only hope will be more exciting developments in episodes to come.
TV Fanatic
Lisa Babick
Wasn't it amazing how easily Nygma shifted into his other, bolder self and was finally able to ask Kringle out? The writers did a great job setting that up for us. Yes, it took a year to get to this point, but it was well worth it.
Den of Geek
Kayti Burt
Gotham deftly juggled a lot of storylines in "Strike Force," another solid episode in what has so far been an enjoyable season 2.
Screen Rant
Robert Yaniz, Jr.
Barnes' commanding entrance into the GCPD was certainly a dramatic highlight of the episode.
io9.com
Rob Bricken
"Strike Force" lacks that sharp focus that the first three episodes of Gotham had this season...

Welcome to Gotham, Michael Chiklis!
Baltimore Sun
Karmen Fox
Another twist, another turn, but there are no dead ends in this episode, "Strike Force."
New York Magazine/Vulture
Simon Abrams
Gotham is that kind of show, one that has worn out all goodwill thanks to its never-ending promissory style of drama.
TV Equals
Mark Trammell
So, yeah, still a fairly nutty episode, but not quite as crazy as the ones that proceeded it thus far this season... Not that I'm complaining, as it was still a pretty enjoyable episode overall.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
Penguin had some good moments to play here.
Observer
Vinnie Mancuso
Oh, boy. Looks like we're going through one of those phases where Gotham pretends it can pull off being a serious show with heavy subject matter, minus all the camp and ridiculousness that makes any of it fun.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
The silliness that dooms so many episodes was mostly absent, cramming all the characters in actually didn't feel like a burden and some actual major changes occurred.
Entertainment Weekly
Keertana Sastry
"Rise of the Villains: Strike Force," brought new gusto and new steps in Theo Galavan's plans, but it also put Gordon in a rather uncomfortable position.
AV Club
Kyle Fowle
Where those first few episodes resisted overly simplistic storytelling, "Strike Force" embraces a trite sense of morality and characterization.
TV.com
MaryAnn Sleasman
What started out as a season ready to cast off the shadow of its predecessor has slowly, but surely, returned to business as usual.
Paste Magazine
Eric Walters
It's difficult to watch actors with real talent be done little favor by poor dialogue. Few characters appear natural on Gotham week-to-week, and last night no one did. Everything in the episode felt false, rather than characters existing in their world.
The Young Folks
Matthew Goudreau
"Strike Force" follows suit with Season 2's newfound success for the most part. There's only one storyline that's all too reminiscent of Gotham's struggles early on.
Eclipse Magazine
Michelle Alexandria
In Ep 204, Gotham is turning the page from the mayham of Arkham and starting a new chapter. We see a new police chief arrive on the scene, Bruce leaves the house, and Nygma finally gets some.
