Meeerde… 5 saisons ? déjà ?… j’arrive même pas à finir la première. Et puis quoi… 22 épisodes ? sérieusement ?… meeeerde… J’en suis au troisième (putain d’épisode) et déjà… j’en peux plus. Oui, le putain de troisième épisode, putain. Et de de toute façon, je l’ai même pas fini.Pourtant, je vois bien un peu ce qu’ils ont essayé de faire avec ce pré-prologue de Batman, ce temps où Batman n’était pas encore Batman mais un môme de 10 ans. Et pareil pour Catwoman. Et pour les autres vilains ou déjantés qui roulent plus ou moins (déjà) leur bosse dans la ville du crime, c’est le même principe : « regarde un peu avant comment j’étais sans collants. Et sans mon costume violet ni mes chaussons verts. Regarde comme j’étais plus jeune et plus petit. »D’accord mais est-ce intéressant ? les détraqués sans leurs costumes ? j’ai un gros doute. Et qu’est-ce qu’on a à la place ? cette andouille molle de Jim Gordon… qui c’est çui-là déjà ? ah le flic idiot dans les films, le faire-valoir crétin, le demeuré de service, le constipé du règlement. Eh ben il a une série rien qu’à lui et pour lui maintenant. Et sa blondasse de bonne femme, une grue sortie d’on ne sait où.A part ça, rien à signaler : il ne se passe rien. Rien du tout, que dalle. Juste des meubles plus ou moins parlants et ça meuble à fond, à faire mourir de honte Confo. Et des dialogues écrits avec le fion récités par des acteurs à la masse. Alors, je passe !

An almost perfect show, one that you put on and it immerses you right into Gotham City, making you forget all your problems. This show is close to my heart, and I’m grateful to every single person who worked on it.

Gotham I loved mainly because it was before the Batman era and I liked how it focuses around the universe before the Batman era.

Way too dark. They continuously fudge with the continuity of the comics of batman, and the character history of Bruce Wayne, Selena Kyle, James Gordon, Poison Ivy.... WTH did they do to her???? Penguin is g a y .... no. Just no. There's also lesbians in here, and even this show understands that lesbians are generally not happy or good people. There is no deviant sexuality for the most part in the early DC comics, I am not interested in seeing deviance here. I understand that the city of Gotham was so violent that that's why Batman became batman, but the level of creepiness and violence that they show in this show makes you feel gross. I didn't enjoy it after a season. It was too much. It's not worth it. I think the comic, as graphic as they could be, were not quite this disturbing. Another reviewer said that James Gordon is not really all that great of a hero and they're correct. All of the characters in the show are tainted. There's no real goodness in here. And the darkness in Gotham is overwhelming. So overwhelming that it it's not easy to watch this show. Don't waste your time

We need season6 don't cancel best show ever love the show #1 best ever we need more

I don’t know guys, why you give such low ratings. I definitely say, this one of the most fun tv show to watch.

My favorite TV show of all-time. The writing, acting, twists and turns, the characters, the tension. An absolute masterpiece.

Creo que es la mejor serie de DC, la calidad de las escenas y personajes es asombrosa, sin duda una serie que vería una y otra vez.

Gotham is a place ruled by darkness. The darkness and shadows of its streets is a mirror of the darkness of the hearts and minds of its populace. Rarely people are likable; most of the time they are downright abject. The exception is our protagonist, detective Gordon, our shining beacon of goodness. There cannot be a shadow without some source of light, so to speak. But even Gordon is tainted, because he has to pretend to be with 'the program.' Everyone in the police force, every official, is with the program. Everyone?! EVERYONE!!! Well, perhaps not young master Wayne. Bruce, you know. Cause he becomes Batman. But Bruce is just a boy now and not woke. Incidentally, Gotham makes some fanboys fume at the mouth. The buttons on Alfred's jacket are not correct, you see.. there are five in the comic, not four. Dammit! I wonder why people get upset with that and not upset with the terrible writing and backstory? Gotham cannot exist. There is an evil pervading everything, like a Lovecraftian monster it taints everything and everyone. Including the viewers. And it tries to go for realism. Kind of. My fearful observation is that some people by now think the world works like that. With public institutions being evil and, gosh, everyone being evil. And I find myself amused, baffled and annoyed. The laments about political correctness are smeared all over pages. Social Justice Warriors is a thing and a curse(albeit a bit dated by now). But where are these same people when they get a nose-full of obvious libertarian politics shoved down theirs throat? There are not upset because they are probably swallow willingly. In Gotham the only good outside of Gordon are the Waynes, even after their deaths. Because those magnanimous industrial philanthropists were going to build that city a haven of affordable houses. Cause that is what rich people do. They take care of their fellow citizens out of the good of their hearts while the incompetent evil state and associates scheme their demise. This trickle down of fountainhead ideas is downright offensive. At the same time Gotham tries to latch on to movies like Serpico, but it isn't Fort Apache, the Bronx. It isn't any of them. It makes caricatures of people and institutions but not to paint as caricatures in all ways, but only as evil ones. Everyone is either becoming or aspiring to become a super villain. The problem is that this seriously undermines what is left of the tale. Take for instance Gordon's fiancee. She is an almost faceless nameless entity. We know her name and we know she was a lesbian. That is all we know about her and all we need to know. Because that latter thing is what it is all about. That is drama. She has to be a former lesbian because then we suggest ambiguity and this way she can talk to her former lover, who happens to be a police woman who has nothing else to do than investigate Gordon because the show has her to. Oh, these lesbians, they are never any good, aren't they? If they are pretty, they will eventually return to the fold of straightness, if they are ugly they are doomed. Whom am I kidding, lesbians are doomed regardless. So what is left? A police procedural which is not about good investigative work, but about beating up the right guy to get the right clues. Work that is mostly done by Gordon's scumbag partner, which is amusing in a way because apparently a bit of police brutality works according to Gotham. The evil envelopes even the protagonist as he profits of the evilness of his partner. In many ways Gordon is a zombie, so used to the evil around him that he has become brain dead to it. But it is just a series, stop moaning and go watch Pokemon or something. It is, and not a good one. So I am going to watch paint dry instead. Oh, last note.. That penguin guy is actually sort of amusing. In a very creepy way.

A roller coaster of a show... Some characters are great (Nygma, Penguin...) and are stealing the show... Others are bad written and deserves better (Barbara Gordon, Bruce Wayne...) Some arcs are good, others are boring. But the universe... the artistic choices to make Gotham City credible... the action and an interesting take on the Batman's origin story... All of this are saving this show.

What starts out as a morally gray crime drama devolves into a poorly written, cheesy comic book. If you see a character die in the show, they'll be back five episodes later. If you think the death of the Waynes will have any payoff, you'd be wrong. But the biggest problem with this show is that people put blind morality above practical threats; And these threats are always realized. If you're looking for a Batman Comic book in TV form, you've found it. But don't let nostalgia trip you on your way out.

Gotham is a series that you will enjoy if you are a Batman fan. Otherwise, I do not think it offers enough to attract audiences outside the mythology of Batman or DC Comics

It’s rare to find acting and screenwriting this awesome in a tv show. They definitely do Batman justice. One of the best if not the best show on television. They should not have cancelled this. It was good for another 6 seasons just continuing the story. I absolutely love and am captivated by this show. Hopefully Netflix will pick this one up too. This is wayyy better than GoT

this series has made me approach and fall in love with the world of gotham, I am very sorry that FOX has decided to cancel the series and I hope they will reconsider.
