In the wake of Carmine Falcone's death, Oz attempts to legitimize himself among Gotham's criminal underworld.

The best first episode to a series I've seen in a long long time - wow.

Good enough episode to continue with but I really felt like they wanted to mash Sopranos with Breaking Bad a bit too much.

You can tell inspiration has come from the Sopranos. But it has been done very well.

Saw Episode 1 last night having not known about it at all and was blown away. Not least because I could have had about 800 guesses at who played Oswald before arriving at Colin Farrell.

 

[Abbie]

I'm not a comic fan so I've no idea how "authentic" this is but I love it.

I'm on episode 3 now. Yes, it's slow but intentionally I think - you can't rush it.

I mean wow! who'd have thought that was Colin Farrell?!

 

[Black Sheep]

It's been good and enjoyable so far. Cin Farrell is great in the lead and it's certainly intriguing this far. I'm not even a fan of the character in general, but that doesn't matter for this show. It's more a mafia show.

I'm trying to hold off and binge all season in one, is it better to just watch once a week?

Once a week. If you've got people to discuss it with. It's a great show so far. Very slow-paced, but with a lot happening, if that doesn't sound back to front.

It's also very darkly lit and moody. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to run three episodes a day of that.
