Review of Gotham

Gotham (2014–2019)
7/10
Great Story with soap opera dialogue
24 September 2017
Let me tell you now that I have only watched the first episode. I was so impressed initially, because it is beautifully filmed, with gorgeous sets and good mood music. The actors are good, and if a little over the top, well, it is based on a comic strip. The story is impressive and interesting. But the dialogue is sophomoric. This is really a great disappointment because it is what they say and how they "click" together that makes you care about characters. I'm already bored with Gordon's fiancé'. Again there is a great set up for the story here that I really like. They have every single thing here necessary for a classic show, but when everyone talks like they're on "General Hospital," I just can't be as invested in their characters.
