All 22 episodes from the first season of the crime drama which follows the origin stories of several characters created by DC Comics. Young detective James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and his partner Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) investigate the murders of Thomas and Martha Wayne (Grayson McCouch and Brette Taylor). The investigation leads Gordon to become entangled with the Mafia and he subsequently fakes the death of informant Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor), telling him never to return. But Cobblepot doesn't heed the warning and comes back to Gotham with a hidden agenda. Meanwhile, Gordon gets to know the Wayne's son Bruce (David Mazouz), who will one day become the vigilante Batman.

Really? I watched the first couple of episodes and thought it was so cringe and some terrible acting.
Does it get a lot better?

Definitely not a great show. I watch it, but to call it a great show you must have a very low IQ. The writing is really bad. I like the atmosphere of the show, and the scenery. The story is so unbelievable though. It's very forced, it jumps from one thing to another, the acting by some of the cast is poor mainly by ben mckenzie, who is the lead. He is very wooden.
There is some good scenes/episodes, but overall it feels like most of the show is full of empty pointless, poor episodes.
I'll give just a few examples of forced. *Spoiler for S2* when the potential mayor was being shot at, all the journalists stayed as he finished his "inspirational speech". There is no chance that a pack of around 50 journalists including the mayor-to-be would stay in the same place after being shot at. Many many more of this.
It's a shame because everything was setup for the show to be brilliant. It just needed a couple of better actors, and better writers. The rating of this show is 8.0 on IMDB which i feel is correct. Considering some people are real fans of this genre and can biase vote on a show, it shows even they don't see through the shows flaws.
Saying that, i think Series 1 was better then series 2(so far, midway though s2).

Season 2 is definitely far better than the first. :smiley: Can't wait for its return.
