The Kaptain Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 It was good. Not great. However, I'll give it some time to see what happens. I actually preferred the show that it replaced on Fox, "Almost Human". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy-D Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I can usually tell in the first 5 minutes if I'm going to like a show. I'm 15 in and still bored. Does it get better? Wow, really? I'm watching it on hulu now it's hardly boring. It's a lot better than I thought it'd be. Even the introduction of so many characters is done with an appropriately light hand.

I'm watching it on hulu now it's hardly boring. It's a lot better than I thought it'd be. Even the introduction of so many characters is done with an appropriately light hand. Different strokes. It's like any movie or TV show where we witness an extreme gap on the review scale between forumites. Gotham seems to be falling victim to this, though nobody is saying the pilot was perfect. It sure seems to have potential. Of course, that could be hyperbole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy-D Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Saw the whole thing. It was quite decent. I was expecting it to be as bad as Arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zosocane Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I really enjoyed the Pilot episode and I'm not a big Batman fan. I think the producers nicely carry the vibe from the DK trilogy and extend it to Gotham. Looking forward to episode 2 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red84 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I guess i'm in the minority, but I hated it. The acting was horrid, and it also seemed really campy. My three current shows are "Ray Donovan", "The Strain", and "Boardwalk Empire". This one will not be added to my list. I also thought it was really bad. Having all these future villains show up and be intertwined was just silly. Bruce Wayne is the most unlikable character on the show. I was hoping Bruce would just appear in the opening and then not be in the show afterwards. It takes years for Bruce to become Batman. Based on his attitude and "training" shown in the commercials, he would be Batman by 15. I actually don't like The Strain, but I'm still watching it. The writing and acting on The Strain is pretty brutal. And the kid makes Chandler Riggs look like an Emmy winner for his work in season 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler My biggest beef are the plot holes like the fact that when 200ish people die on a plane, they assign ONLY ONE doctor to autopsy them all. Then no one notices them all just walking out of a major New York hospital. Yeah ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Balls Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I liked it. I'm not real familiar with Batman, but I've always liked Jim Gordon in the stuff I've read. I'm not sure of the direction of the show (superhero police procedural?) but I'm willing to check it out. There were some issues with acting, etc - but I can let that ride until the actors get the feel for their characters. Not every show comes out 100% picture perfect on the first try (this isn't HBO, you know). I just hope they have a good direction for the show. I hate watching this stuff and then having it cancelled 2/3 of the way through the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 We're done watching this mumble-jumble show at our household. Too many other well-written shows to keep track of to see if maybe this mess has legs. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss5rmp Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 i wasnt impressed by the first ep as a batman fan. I feel like none of the "super-villains" should show up before batman...thats just a personal opinion. i wouldve preferred if they had just focused on gordons character and gave him his own issues instead of trying to put in all of batmans villains without batman...

kidcolt Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 At first it seemed like a really low budget show but after a little while I didn't even notice. I enjoyed the show and will continue to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the authority Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I had the day off today and finally got around to watching it. To me, Gordon is perfect. Caring, tough, and while not overly powerful, he is willing to put himself on the line. I liked but didn't love Bullock. There was a scene that I felt was somewhat out of character for him. I thought the attire, beard, and everything about his appearance was perfect. I think this will be a big hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
