This Batwoman review contains spoilers.
Batwoman Season 2, Episode 5
There is such a thing as doing too much, and Batwoman is on the cusp. The last two episodes have introduced two new characters, Angelique and Ocean, each with pre-existing relationships—and baggage. There are also no less than three independent, parallel searches for Kate Kane, which… *sighs* Fine.
Angelique is Ryan’s ex-girlfriend that she caught the drug change for—a story that has some plot wobbliness. In the season premiere, Ryan said she was framed. In this episode, she says she willingly took Angelique’s drugs (to keep them from her) and was caught with them after she reacted negatively to street harassment by some Crows. While the Crows may have been on some bullshit, accosting her without cause, using “framed” to describe this interaction is, well… a stretch. I hope it’s a retcon and not Ryan’s actual interpretation of events.

Gotham's villains often pull focus, and on Batwoman Season 2 Episode 3, we get a couple vying for the spotlight while Batwoman 2.0 gets her game on.
Not only are Zsasz and Safiyah highly entertaining and intriguing, respectively, but the writers manage to tantalize us with a Jack Napier reference in the final moments.
Meanwhile, Ryan starts to make a space for herself in the Batwoman persona by customizing the suit.
It helps that everyone in Gotham has already noticed that their current guardian is clearly a different woman despite the common costume.
In an amusing wraparound of supervillain casting, our Zsasz, Alex Morf, portrayed Sykes on Season 5 of Fox's Gotham, where Anthony Carrigan played Victor Zsasz. Carrigan, keen-eyed Arrow-verse fans will note, also played Kyle Nimbus/The Mist on The Flash Season 1.
Like Carrigan's Zsasz, Morf actualizes the uber-assassin as chatty, likable, and pretty much unstoppable. Very much worth the cost...
