Gotham

And yet you're still posting about it here?

Well, I'd forgotten about the show tbh but then someone bumped the thread so I thought I'd post.

So. When Gotham first came out I could only watch one episode. I was not impressed. Then after forcing my way through a few more, it grew on me. Season 1 struggled, but it was … meh. Ok.

Now to season 2. I have to say that Gotham season 2 has done it. I don’t want to say that I am ROOTING for the villains (because that’d be so cliché – the season is called “Rise of the Villains”), but c’mon! Ya’ll know this season was ROTFL cheesy/funny.

But the REAL MVPs are our top team criminal duo: Professor Strange and Ms. Peabody. Their monotone villain banter should be the stuff of writing awards. I probably fell out laughing at least once an episode at some of their repartee. I mean – who came up with this stuff?? It was so cheesy that it was comic-book or animation like – and I think BD Wong and Tonya Pinkins really had great evil duo chemistry and gave their roles 100%. Funny because I know I’ve seen BD Wong in other more serious roles – nice to know he can have fun and not take himself too seriously.

I love Strange and Peabody...the offbeat casting choice of BD Wong as Strange was absolutely inspired...such an underrated actor.

The season 3 finale was nothing short of AMAZING!!! Can't wait to see where they go from here.

I'm three episodes into season 4 and as entertaining as this show continues to be, the storylines are getting overly complex and you need a scorecard to keep track of all the players. Still love Ben McKenzie and especially Robin Lord Taylor, who continues to do Emmy worthy work as the Penguin.

Bane comes to Gotham
