Plots(1)
Gotham is the origin story of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. From executive producer/writer Bruno Heller, this drama follows one cop's rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil and chronicles the genesis of one of the most popular super heroes of our time. Brave, earnest and eager to prove himself, the newly minted detective Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is partnered with the brash, but shrewd police legend Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue), as the two stumble upon the city's highest-profile case ever: the murder of local billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne.
At the scene of the crime, Gordon meets the sole survivor: the Waynes' hauntingly intense 12-year-old son, Bruce (David Mazouz), toward whom the young detective feels an inexplicable kinship. Moved by the boy's profound loss, Gordon vows to catch the killer. As he navigates the often-underhanded politics of Gotham's criminal justice system, Gordon encounters imposing gang boss Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith), and many of the characters who will become some of DC Comics' most renowned, enduring villains, including a teenaged Selina Kyle - the future Catwoman (Camren Bicondova) and Oswald Cobblepot - The Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor). Although the crime drama follows Gordon's turbulent and singular rise through the Gotham City police department, it also focuses on the unlikely friendship Gordon forms with the young heir to the Wayne fortune, who is being raised by his unflappable butler, Alfred (Sean Pertwee) - a friendship that will last them all of their lives and will play a crucial role in helping the young boy eventually become the crusader he's destined to be.

Gotham (2014)
I'm satisfied. The pre-Batman era is off to a good start. The acting is perfect. Gordon is cute, the Riddler will be fun, the Penguin is properly sleazy, Catwoman is very cute, hopefully she'll get more space next time and Fish Mooney looks pretty tough. Gotham is properly dark and gloomy, the brutality is surprising too. The third episode is behind us and it's clear what's going on. The Penguin is slowly getting to his dark side and is starting to be a nice beast, Catwoman has been given more space and is lovely, and I especially like that not only the Penguin but other criminal residents of Gotham are on a rampage in each episode. You really wouldn't want to live in this city! For me, the best show of the year so far.

Season 2 (2015) (S02)
A great ride for 18 episodes, but the last 4 didn't impress me too much. The creators mixed way too many things with mutated "monster" people, turning a dark crime drama into more of a sci-fi fantasy, which I'm not fond of. Too bad. 80%.
