Introduction of Joker in Gotham

Television has never been good . this is indeed the Golden age of US Television and Im lucky to have watched most of it live. I never got into comic heroes in my teens but now Nolan has really got me hooked onto Batman. The Video game series and now the TV Series "Gotham" is really reminiscent of the tone that Nolan created in his landmark trilogy.
Ever since I started watching Gotham I was really interested in the back story of all the villains of the series.There are two notables for me.
The Penguin - Robin Lord Taylor

I have never seen Penguin more than a Fat villain but now the creators of the series has succeeded in creating a multi layered character in the young Penguin and he has now basically taken over the series. Robin Lord Taylor is just piercing through the screen and looks everyday that he is born to play this role.
Joker - Cameron Monaghan

Where did they find this guy,I neevr thought anyone can even come closer to Heath Ledger version of Joker bu this kid albeit only for a few seconds in Episode 16 came really close to that performance. What is even more impressive is the fact that there was no clue that he was the joker earlier in the episode which makes his character really good at deception just like the Joker. We are really finding some great acting nowadays in Television which Hollywood seems to struggle to find but Television seems to be getting better every year.
