The Mask Ratings & Reviews
CraveOnline
Blair Marnell
Eight episodes in, Gotham still hasn't found a consistent tone or even decent writing throughout an entire episode.
Paste Magazine
Eric Walters
So much of what has troubled Gotham reared its head in "The Mask." A bland main story overrun by a mass of subplots was the main culprit here, flanked by subpar writing and phoned-in acting.
The Young Folks
Aaron Neuwirth
What it lacks in story quality it makes up for in seeing these main characters with a stronger sense of purpose behind their actions, given what everyone has gone through in recent weeks. Gotham is growing.
New York Times
Jeremy Egner
Look, I'm as susceptible as anyone to the lizard-brain pleasures of seeing privileged nasties get what's coming to them. There's just not much substance to it.
Total Film
Dave Golder
The show's lack of conviction in its central idea of a company boss whose recruitment regime includes getting the candidates to fight each other to the death is evidenced by the fact that the plot runs out of steam after 18 minutes.
Screen Rant
Anthony Ocasio
Fight Club gone Gotham is a generally harmless tale which feels as if it exists to simply stand next to the over-arching narratives, and in that respect it's successful.
TV Equals
Mark Trammell
When all was said and done, though, it was a solid enough episode, I thought, with some great character moments for Bruce, Alfred, Gordon and Bullock throughout.
ScreenCrush
Kevin Fitzpatrick
"The Mask" seemed like the show's usual mix of half-formed ideas and shoehorned plots, most of which seem to serve little purpose overall, at least for now.
Nerdist
Joseph McCabe
I'm still not sure that Bruce is necessary to Gotham's plot, but "The Mask" goes a long way towards making him interesting.
We Got This Covered
James Garcia
Overall, I did enjoy "The Mask," and am happy to see that Gotham is still improving.
Baltimore Sun
Karmen Fox
Jim is too repressed and clean cut. Relating to a character like that takes patience. Patience I'm slowly starting to lose.
io9.com
Charlie Jane Anders
Lot of the stuff that had started working on this show stopped working again. But the episode still won us over, mostly because of the incredibly bloody scenes of violence it managed in prime-time.
Den of Geek
Mike Cecchini
While there's nothing to be found in the way of bombshell developments, and it's a fairly by-the-numbers case of the week scenario, this might be the best job the show has done of balancing out its competing halves.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
The fact that Gordon's relationship with his co-workers had become a critical topic was excellent. As was, believe it or not, Bruce's bully story.
Wall Street Journal
Michael Calia
"Black Mask" is an enduring bad guy in the Batman mythos, and it's good to see the show tout one of the real pillars of the Caped Crusader's rogues gallery.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Simon Abrams
In tonight's episode, Bruce Wayne stepped out of Gordon's shadow and started to deal with his own anger issues. This automatically makes "The Mask" the most interesting episode of Gotham so far.
AV Club
Kyle Fowle
Gotham is settling into a welcome groove when focused on the city's underground forces... yet still can't find a way to make its case of the week feel significant, either in terms of larger narrative arcs or the character development of Jim Gordon.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Orf
Instead of charging ahead with its newfound intensity, Gotham plays it safe and continues with its familiar bag of tricks, but how much longer will audiences be content with what's familiar?
Observer
Vinnie Mancuso
The show returned to a "villain of the week" format, but it was a good one.
Rolling Stone
Zach Dionne
Sionis' story is more a "perverse abuse of wealth and power" tale. It's a nice, unexpected palate cleanser, this -- a villain who's just a pure, icky nihilist, and not a broken man with warped ideals.
