A show set in the Batman universe.. except without Batman? A lot of people didn't like this concept but i was one of the people who did. I wanted to see the villains' rise to power most of all.. but how would they be interesting with no Batman to counter them? Well that's where the early years of Jim Gordon come into play. The show follows Jim as he cracks strange cases whilst trying to help a young Bruce Wayne solve the mystery of his parents' murder. It seemed each week for a while we would see a new villain come in and act like they run Gotham City before Jim and Harvey Bullock shut them down, but it turned into more than that.After a while the show did start to feel repetitive and i wanted to see more focus on a single villain that on a bunch and we ended up getting that by the end and i absolutely loved the finale, but before we talk about that let's talk about what i liked less. Over the course of the series we were introduced and hinted at early incarnations of villains we could expect to see. Scarecrow, Poison Ivy and even The Joker have been hinted at and whilst these are some of the best Batman villains i feel that they should have been left for later series' and that this series should have focused on three particular villains who i will talk about later. The biggest gripe for me was hinting at Jerome being the Joker.. Joker is obviously a big deal in the Batman universe and i feel without Batman being introduced then Joker should be left well alone, but also early hints to Bruce being Batman felt shoehorned in, i feel less focus should be drawn to him and the Batman references as well as the awful cat puns from Selina Kyle should have been toned down a huge deal.However, i do feel Gotham is a very entertaining show to say the least. It is ridiculous and some of the characters act even more cartoony than they do on Batman: The Animated Series which is saying a lot. This isn't so much a bad thing because the show knows how ridiculous it is whilst still maintaining a gritty feel to it and i give it props for that. The acting is over the top but Ben McKenzie as Jim Gordon and Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock are absolutely true to the characters (especially Logue) and play well off each other. The villains i mentioned are Fish Mooney, a new character who isn't in the comics played by Jada Pinkett Smith who brings a stylish yet creepy edge to her character, she was one of the best on the show. I also loved Cory Michael Smith as Edward Nygma, his slow descent into becoming the Riddler was at times shoehorned in but when it worked it was incredible, especially in the finale. The absolute stand out of the show however is of course Robin Lord Taylor who plays Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin. My god, he gave one of the best performances i have seen in TV for years, he made me root for the Penguin's survival and the Penguin has always been low down on my list of favourite Batman villains (that is until now). If anyone can be praised for single handedly making this show work and bringing a whole heap of crazy, ridiculous yet incredible acting skills to the table it is Robin Lord Taylor who honestly deserves a lot more work. He has clearly earned it.So no, Gotham does not go without its flaws and characters such as Edward Nygma should have got more screen time if they were to be introduced now to let their characters develop but i expect series 2 will open a new set of opportunities for them which i look forward to. If Jerome truly is the Joker though i'm not sure how i would feel. The finale, without spoilers, was very satisfying to me. Some of it felt maybe too ridiculous such as the scenes with Dr. Lee and Barbara but overall i was entertained and am intrigued to see more so that is always a good sign. A fun show that doesn't take itself too seriously. It doesn't quite scale a show like Daredevil but it doesn't exactly try to and it also gives us one of the best characters in recent TV with Penguin.8.5/10

Very good start and will hopefully just keep getting better.

Please note that I'm reviewing this as someone who's seen other iterations of Batman's origins, minus Batman Begins. Also note that I've seen plenty of crime dramas of similar nature. This one thinks that simply adding Batman to the mix somehow makes it fresh. It doesn't.The first few minutes were very poorly executed. The scene with Selina Kyle being chased by a fully grown adult was laughably bad. It seemed like the guy didn't care about his wallet because he and Selina were moving at a brisk jog rather than running full-speed. Also, isn't Selina supposed to be YOUNGER than Bruce Wayne? I'm not against adaptations making changes, but they have to be changes that make sense or at least add something, like changing the Mask from a big- eyed horror villain into a slapstick-powered anti-hero so as to be more appealing to general audiences.This chase leads to the alley way where Bruce's parents are shot. I'm pretty sure I haven't spoiled anything, seeing as that's only THE MOST INTEGRAL PART OF BATMAN'S ORIGIN, and despite that they managed to screw it up. Joe Chill (or at least I hope it's Joe Chill) robs the Waynes, without resistance, and then just randomly shoots the two of them! Why? They didn't resist, they didn't scream for help, they just did what you wanted and you added murder to the list of possible charges against you, plus one witness. If the writers of Gotham are going for that whole "It's a small world" crap that we've seen done to death in recent years, they got off to a bad start. People seem to forget that the point in Batman's parents dying during a mugging is that crime is anonymous, and that stuff like that can happen to anyone for no overarching motive or reason other than "Some punk with a gun got antsy during a stick-up."Also, writers? Having a character react in a loud, over-the-top fashion to a death is neither dramatic nor powerful. If anything, it only works when it's played for laughs.THEN we have Gordon talking like a walking cliché than an actual human being. "No matter how dark it gets, there will always be light." "My father was killed by a drunk driver; I know how you feel." While I admire the writers for trying to draw parallels between Bruce and Gordon, they make them so painfully blatant that all I can do is roll my eyes and remember how well-handled the last depiction of the Wayne murders was handled on Batman: The Brave and the Bold.However, once that bit of awkward storytelling is out of the way, the next bit is pretty entertaining. Gordon and his partner Bullock go downtown to try to find answers and we get an idea that while Gordon may not like how Gotham operates, he may have to work with it to get what he wants. It's a very good scene that leaves the dilemmas up to the audience's interpretation. From there, everything else is what you'd expect: Gotham City's gone to crap, the mob owns everything, there are no straight cops other than Gordon, etc. How predictable.The episode feels like its trying to cram in as many references to other characters and stories despite them having no clear connection to, well, anything. The only one who actually gets some development is Edward Nigma, who will later go on to become the Riddler, as we see both his beginnings as the trickster villain and an initial motive for turning to crime. With the Penguin, we get a motive, but not really a character other than some goon who wants to make it big. Poison Ivy and Selina Kyle add nothing to the plot, and are there merely to inform the viewers that yes, they exist in this world, and yes, Selina is interested in Bruce Wayne. Why? Why would a thief be interested in an eight-year-old heir to a multi-billion dollar fortune aaaand I just answered my own question. Hopefully they can make something interesting out of that tidbit, other than having a completely forced little-kid love story.The production design is mixed. On one hand, Gotham City itself looks very much like the Arkham games: a 1930s noir feel with a few modernisms thrown in, cell phones feeling a bit out of place. Some shots make Gotham look like Gotham, others make Gotham look like Nolan-verse Gotham, which looks like Chicago. Because it was.Overall, nothing about his series really struck me as new or interesting. It's a pre-prequel than has chosen to take the route of another dime-a-dozen crime drama instead of being its own thing. I sincerely hope it will become its own thing, but I'm not holding my breath.

This truly amazed me!

After just two episodes, this show seems to be drawing a lot of negative reviews. However, most of these come from comic-book uber-fans, resentful that there are no capes and masks in the show. Of course, that's exactly the point - this show is about the mythic Gotham *before* it exploded with 'super' heroes and 'super' villains. It uses the dark, surreal *style* of the Batman comics to ask some fascinating questions about morality and the relevance of 'extreme' characters in the real world.The seventy-plus-year-long Batman saga is fundamentally a fable about morality. It asks if one man can make a difference, against inconceivable odds. The limitation of the premise is that this one man has amazingly super-human abilities - a vast intellect, enormous wealth, Olympian athletic abilities, and few, if any, human frailties. Gotham, the series, obviously wants to dig a little deeper. Could such a person exist? And if he doesn't, what can normal people do in his absence? In the real world, the activities of a Batman are supposed to be carried out by the police. But we're seeing the police increasingly losing its way - tasked with upholding absurd laws, often pitted against the public they're meant to protect and serve, increasingly isolated and compelled to act out of self-interest rather than altruism.Gotham takes that situation to a stylized, surrealized extreme. It shows us a police force that's completely forgotten morality. Forgotten that it must set an example, uphold the law TO THE LETTER, if it expects anyone else - public or criminals - to take it seriously.Into this dark, exaggerated world comes One Honest Cop - James Gordon. He's young, he's confused, he's out of his depth - a lot closer to the real-world Frank Serpico than the mythical Dirty Harry. What can he do, when confronted by a system that expects him to be crooked - to embrace the shades of dark grey? In the first two episodes, we get the feeling that Gordon may be the man for the job - but that he has a lot to learn. He has the moral fibre those around him lack. He's obviously plenty tough. But he needs to learn how deep the sickness goes, and what lies at its roots.It's a fascinating premise. I can't wait to see it developed.Lots of reviews are complaining about bad acting, bad writing and bad directing. What?? Maybe this show is TOO literate for them. The plotting is in fact clever, the dialog flavorful. The acting is uniformly top-notch, much better overall than in cartoony shows like Arrow (which I do like a lot, but in a very different way). The direction, the look and feel and mood of Gotham, are near perfect.As the title implies, Gotham, the city, is the real star. This show is about a strange and desperate city, which could represent a lot of cities in America today. (Detroit comes to mind.) This is a show for desperate times, a platform for talking about desperation itself - about a desperate need for heroes, who refuse to appear politely on queue. It's a show that suggests maybe the heroes are *us* - regular people like Jim Gordon. People who can't solve the problems with magical gadgets and over-the-top abilities. Who just have to make do with basic human courage, and some unshakable principles.Who knows how Gotham will develop? So far, it's a real breath of fresh air to at least two tired genres (cop shows and comic heroes). Let's hope that smart viewers discover it quickly, and don't overlook it because of its fanciful Batman tie-in. Yes, it's at heart a comic book - but it's the darker, more intelligent, more imaginative kind, that rarely gets enough acknowledgement.Fans need to take a deep breath and accept this show for what it is - a side-trip, not the main superhero event they crave. Non-fans need to give Gotham a try, with an open mind. This *could* be a really great show. I hope we'll have the chance to find out.UPDATE: As we close in on the end of the first season, my opinion of Gotham continues to climb. Recent episodes have been darker, more twisted and more intense than ever. Characters continue to develop in powerful and unexpected ways. This is one of the best series ever derived from comic books. Don't let your preconceptions get in the way - Gotham is almost a new genre unto itself.
