I will admit, I am not a comic aficionado, but, I am really liking this show. Anyone else watching? Thoughts?
I love figuring out who is who. Love the back-story-lines.
Fun watch.
I’ve liked it so far. I was afraid that it would be too childish but has been good.
My initial fear as well. But, so far, great writing and great story-lines. I hope they can keep up the momentum.
Thanks for the reminder. Time to set the DVR
I’ll have to rewatch the pilot because I got 30 minutes in and turned it off because I thought it was awful. Cheesy lines, not great acting and it seemed like they were introducing every single character in the first 15 minutes.
I have episode 2 taped so I’ll give that a shot, surprised so many people are raving about it.
I love it so far. Seems like good stuff. Hope they keep it going.
I admit to only watching a few minutes but I thought it lacked pace and it was totally predictable and stereotyping.

What do you mean? It is the story of how the heros and villains came to be. By definition, wouldn’t it have to have a certain degree of predictability?
Correct - I should add that I evaluate a TV program as: in my waning hours in my death bed, would I want these hours back in exchange to have never seen the program?

My gawd man, with that standard, why even bother watching tv?
Yah I don’t watch much . . . Packers, Walking Dead, Breaking Bad . . . some Jon Stewart. Only watched a few hours all summer. while watching Gotham someone called this cute girl ‘Cat’ and I was gone
It’s been interesting but I don’t see this lasting. It would have been a great mini-series.
First, did I somehow become the resident LR comic and Star Wars nerd? This is the second thread in a few days calling me out specifically.
Second, I took a look at the first episode, and just couldn’t really get into it. The show strikes me as just another crime drama, with characters from the Batman world forced into it. Maybe it will get better, but in general, I’m not really looking for a show or comic set in the Gotham world that doesn’t have Batman, or set in Metropolis without having Superman, etc.
The kid playing Wayne seems bratty. The guy playing Alfred doesn’t fit. I’m not a fan of Jada Pinkett Smith. And I’m really not a fan of trying to develop and show who a character is by making their hair look weird (Cobblepot and Kyle characters).
That said, I didn’t care for Agents of Shield when it started, and that has grown on me a bit, so maybe I’ll come around on Gotham too.
I thought it was a little too campy. After watching the recent Batman movies that were much darker, I thought Gotham would be the same. I am going to give it another episode before jumping, but it wasn’t looking good.
I haven’t watched an episode yet, but I was anticipating it more than any other show in recent memory. A pretty significant majority of the reviews I have heard have not been good, I might not waste my time.

I agree. I thought it would be more about how Batman became Batman, but he’s so young it looks more like a story about Detective Gordon. Jada Pinkett Smith is hard to watch, and 12 year old Bruceman and Catwoman etc. isn’t very exciting.
I just watched the first couple of episodes. I think it needs to get rolling first, they are trying to make sure all the none comic folk are caught up first, Agents of Shield seemed the same to me at first, but has grown on me.

Skye is so insanely hot that she alone makes it worth watching Agents of Shield.

Is it me or is Skye hotter this season than last?

Is the sun hotter and brighter this year than last? Not sure, but like the Skye, staring at the awsomeness of either burns my retinas.
