Critic Reviews for Gotham Season 1
All Critics (91) | Top Critics (47) | Fresh (78) | Rotten (13)
Fox should be commended for making a Big 4 broadcast network series seem big, special and distinctive.
This is solid, confidently made television, the kind of programming that has me interested in where it's going next thanks to high production values and an expertly assembled cast.
Here's where Gotham surprised me. Going by tonight's well-crafted pilot alone, there does appear to be a spark of original thought flickering beneath all those draggy origins.
Anyone who loves Batman, naturally, will be watching Gotham, and knowing the Batman world makes the show more fun. But it's also surprisingly accessible to viewers who just like a good action-packed cop drama with a dry sense of humor.
The strong cast could make this one fly.
Most viewers will be content to let young Bruce mature off-screen. Although it would seem foolish to make a Batman series in which he is a relatively minor character, Gotham starts off fine without him.
There's a fine line between campy goodness and cartoonish badness, and Gotham clearly has no idea where that line is drawn.
Gotham may not be horror, but it is dark, it is well done, and it should be on your fall TV schedule.
All told, this was a vivid, entertaining start.
Not all of Gotham is as successful... but this dark (and cinematically shot) series will feel right at home as the lead-in to Fox's similarly toned Sleepy Hollow.
There is indeed vast potential in a Batman-less Gotham, with enough vibrant, interesting, and creepy personalities to easily fill a few episodes. Whether or not it can sustain itself remains to be seen.
Technically, Gotham is very well made. Good photography, assembly, production, shooting outdoors (in New York) and a soundtrack that goes further. But it has to deepen better in other aspects... [Full Review in Spanish]

Aug 12, 2020Fish is annoying and over acted, but the rest of the cast is perfect and the story is a blast.

Apr 29, 2020The plot of the story is very clear. Gotham City is always dark, but the characters of the villagers are always there to show the way the characters are drawn to the light. The curiosity and flavor of the story is maximized. Jim, Harvey, Penguin, Falcone,and babara plays a memorable performance.

Apr 23, 2020Completely unrealastic show in every way. The main villains stay alive no matter what, especially Penguin who scoffs and kills right infront of police face and they do nothing. Cops can't shoot or wont shoot, bad guys rule all day and night. I wonder how Gotham never ran out of people to kill who arent viallains. I wish they followed their own story instead of being so predictable to who lives or dies.

Jan 26, 2020I love this show. The shots, the actors, the storytelling- everything is just so well done! And I like how they don't force feed us with details but rather subtly put them in it so that at some point the audience has a moment like '..wait' and it just blows your mind sometimes. The character development so far is really interesting and I enjoy to see the story revolve around so many characters and how each of the things they do influences the whole story.
