Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow…
I think it’s a pretty good sign that 10 minutes into “Selina Kyle” I was already enjoying Gotham more than - I would say - all of the pilot episode. Not that the show’s where it should be here in episode two, but without the benefit/burden of having to re-tell the crime alley origins of Bruce Wayne, the show felt a bit more free to explore the landscape and tell its own stories.
That being said, the episode was a bit of a let down if you simply consider the title “Selina Kyle,” as the story didn’t really benefit Selina all that much, or reveal anything all that great about the character. Also, Camren Bicondova’s overall “presence” (of which acting plays a huge part) isn’t that great. Hopefully it will improve over time so that when we do get to an episode that focuses more on her character - even delivering some backstory in the process - her delivery won’t feel as choppy. I do cut her some slack, being so young and all, but if the character’s to remain a big part of the show, this leeway will shrink proportionately.
