Very good show with lots of promise. Story focuses on Jim Gordon - who I thought was portrayed well by Ben McKenzie. You can see the contrast between Gordon and Harvey Bullock's views of Gotham based on Bullock accepting the corruption, while Gordon holds on to the promise of justice and hope for a city filled with problems. Looking forward to them exploring the characters which lead to the rise of Batman.

Thank you for the feedback, guys. I'll try to watch the first episode this weekend online.
I would also like to able to work in next week watching Flash and Agents of Shield. (I didn't see either one last week.) I'm already watching Blacklist and Person of Interest. I really enjoy Person of Interest. Blacklist is a bit too gritty, but it has its more enjoyable moments.

I just noticed that Flash hasn't premiered yet. So, I haven't missed it.

Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
I've been trying to decide if I want to watch Gotham or not. If it's as good as people are saying it is, I might give it a try.
But I definitely know that I want to watch The Flash
Even if it is on CW...

Anyone still hanging in there with Gotham? Think I've decided against it. If I were retired perhaps...
I've decided to watch The Flash however. It seems a little less darker.

Watched Gotham again last night. May stay with it. Enjoyed the byplay between Kristen Kringle and Edward Nygma. I didn't realize he's to be a villain -- The Riddler.

Best one so far, expecting better to come.
Love Oswald, he makes the series. Oswald hasn't eaten any sandwiches lately. He always does when he kills someone and I'm waiting on him to put on the pounds. Would really like to see Bruce start doing some training & weightlifting, much too thin now. For all the people longing for batman to show up, all they have to do is put Bruce in school and practice those flipping moves on some bullies and bad teachers.
The last I saw of Jada Smith was in one of those awful Matrix sequels and she was not impressive. Maybe it was bad directing but I didn't think she could act.
She really loves her role and you can tell. They need to give her a bat to throw around every now & again, it seems a part of her nature when she hits someone. I hope she wins and award for this role. Hopefully, she wont be killed off anytime soon.
My biggest regret is I didn't wait to start watching it during season 3 so I could binge watch 3 or 4 at a time. I hate being current on a good series.

Love Gotham, I love how the writers keep throwing twists into the show. That scene last night with Oswald in the bathtub was THE creepiest thing I've ever seen on TV.

Did anyone watch last night? The opening scene was a little troubling.
The man that attacks people's fears went after a Christian by sending people dressed as demons w demonic symbols on their forehead. Do you guys think there is anything morally wrong with continuing to watch this show?

I gave up on the show. It's a little too violent. Try Agent Carter instead.

You don't eat a peacock until it's cooked.
I really like this show. It's different for a Batman story but overall I'm really digging it. The only thing I don't like is having Bruce Wayne in the show. I would much rather have the focus be on the villains and then have Batman mysteriously show up as Gotham becomes more and more overrun. The timeline is a bit off but that's a minor gripe; it's still a fun show. I need to watch the new episode from this week. Penguin is incredible to watch.

I loved the concept of this show when I heard it. However, for me, they blew it. Too creepy. Bad guys are too bad. There's a darkness about it that did not need to be there for us to get the plot and the story to be told. They need to lighten it up a little. Even something as heavy as the Lord of the Rings had an occasional moment you could chuckle at. It's a writing mistake when something is written with no light moments. A little light goes a long way. The few episodes I watched didn't have any, so they lost me.

This is the absolute truth
that has ruined many good shows, like Heroes, SGU, Sarah Conner Chronicles. However, there are many moments on Gotham where you can laugh, even though the humor is a little dark. Right now I'm trying to figure out a way to reach the writers of S.H.I.E.L.D with this point.
They are ruining my show. Who wants to see Fitz-Simmons relationship so troubled, it's a downer. Life is hard enough!!On the other hand I did watch Catching Fire today to have a good cry.

So the guy who's going to turn into the Joker is incredibly creepy. The actor they chose is spot-on and I can't wait to see where they go with him.

I still haven't watched since those characters had the demonic symbols on their heads. I'm probably over reacting I just feel guilty watching it now. am I being too scrupulous?

The show reminds me of the way New York was in the 1970s. I was just a kid, but the stories we heard coming out of NYC about crime were constant. Very scary - even to the point where NYC Council for Public Safety put out a pamphlet in 1975. Son of Sam killings had fear on the minds of everyone. I'm wondering if this is what they are going for - trying to parrallel what it was like.
