Judging by the name and the creators’ promises, I was expecting a tough crime movie building on the genus loci of Gotham City, which also happens to be about Batman, but which primarily is able to stand by itself as a gritty crime movie with a sturdy, non-superhero comic-book superstructure for adults. But the opposite is true. The genesis of Batman’s friends/enemies plays first fiddle and Gotham and the criminal aspects play second, which is a shame because those parts are the best that appear in the series. Both aspects hold each other back. The criminal parts are spoiled by the fact that anybody you come into contact with in Gotham will necessarily be someone from the DC Universe and the fates of each of these villains are restricted by the forced grafting into the Gordon storyline; the only situation this doesn’t apply is with the mafia. We see heavily stylized characters that have come straight out of Batman comics and series of the sixties alongside a serious storyline for adults which is taken extremely seriously, no tongue in cheek. It’s trying to catch too many rabbits using mutually exclusive styles and plus it is full to the brim with references to DC characters in every other sentence; which isn’t positive, because the result is something so unrefined and dumbly combined, it’s incredible (while Arrow/Flash is one of the few that can do the same with style). However, there’s no denying that it’s a pretty good watch if your brain is switched off, but that’s about all. Which, in the current plethora of quality series (even those based on comic books), is simply inadequate.

My impression of the first season is very positive. I didn’t read anything about it beforehand, so I thought it was going to be a Batman series. I certainly didn't expect Bruce Wayne to be little more than the “glint in the milkman's eye” as Edmund would say. It's basically a prequel to the Batman films, so the main characters are a long way from being superheroes and it's mainly the local police department that has to deal with the Gotham underworld. I enjoy the gradual development of both the positive and negative characters and I'm pleased with the cast and the now classic Gotham atmosphere.
