But even as I write those words I'm thinking, "I would totally watch that". Fan fiction makes suckers of us all. Jul 16, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Jonathan Bernstein Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Fox should be commended for making a Big 4 broadcast network series seem big, special and distinctive. Sep 18, 2014 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic 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. Sep 18, 2014 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic 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. Sep 17, 2014 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic 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. Sep 17, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic The strong cast could make this one fly. Sep 15, 2014 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic There's a fine line between campy goodness and cartoonish badness, and Gotham clearly has no idea where that line is drawn. Feb 11, 2019 | Full Review… Devin Faraci Birth.Movies.Death. Gotham may not be horror, but it is dark, it is well done, and it should be on your fall TV schedule. Aug 22, 2018 | Full Review… Alyse Wax Daily Dead All told, this was a vivid, entertaining start. Jul 24, 2018 | Full Review… Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk 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. Jul 19, 2018 | Full Review… Patrick Gomez People Magazine View All Critic Reviews (91) Audience Reviews for Gotham: Season 1 2d ago It's a great show. I like the villains like penguin and Fish, but something is still missing from this season Aatu R Sep 08, 2019 Season 1 is good, it's a shame that it turns a lot of people away from the show though. But overall solid. Jonas B Sep 01, 2019 TBH I was expecting Batman however really enjoyed this first season. Good stories and strong characters Roy R Sep 01, 2019 To start I think the whole show is amazing. The show pictures what Gotham was like during the time of the wayne murders and they do it amazing. After they were shot the tention was high. Shadows and all dark scenery made it amazing ,I will admit during Season 1 I felt there were parts that felt they ruined the story, great to see penguin and famous characters. I recommend to people that are a big fan of Batman! Oliver S Aug 18, 2019 With an excellent cast and great story line, this is a must see for both fans of the comics and non fans of the comics. Aurel F Jul 10, 2019 i love this show so much watched it as soon as it aired and watched every episode as soon as they came out you dont want to miss this batman fan or not christopher p Jun 19, 2019 A great first season and introduces us to the characters Amber J May 20, 2019 While it's a brilliant show, the first season is hard to grip onto at first especially since it is setting up for the rest of the episodes. Definitely needed! Kayleigh M Apr 21, 2019 Amazing first season the show gets better and better Apr 19, 2019 Although it's not what I've expected, it's a great start of a universe filled with all the Batman characters.
