As one of the few characters scurrying around Gotham City not possessing a comic book counterpart, Jada Pinkett Smith's Fish Mooney had the potential to be a great original creation. However, so far this has not be realized. While the show has admirably invested in her character, suggesting that she is motivated by a background of being economic woes, Fish still doesn't stick in the mind in any sort of significant way. Instead, it's all pomp, frills, and surface-level accoutrements. Take Jada Pinkett Smith's acting for example. She has clearly has been under the impression that because Gotham originates as a comic book she must act like a godforsaken cartoon. Her Fish can never just speak like a normal person; every single line must be either hissed, purred or shouted. Pair that with her jaw-dropping outfits, a dizzying array of bangles, feathers, and garish make-up, and you have a someone who is visually striking, but so far has been little more than an empty dress.
