I stopped after about 3-4 episodes. It was so depressing mostly about Fish Mooney (sp?) and the Penguin and Gordon wasn't getting any help in taking down the bad guys and they tried to make him kill someone if I remember correctly. I kept thinking why is EVERYONE except the kids bad? Where is the good guys helping J Gordon? It's like saying in a city the size of NYC there is only one cop fighting crime. There has to be some good guys somewhere there can't be only bad guys all the time. I just found it too dark and I was already watching a few dark shows which cumulatively were making my sleep and dreams restless so I just stopped watching some of them. Gotham was one of them to get cut. The only characters I liked were the Bruce and Selena and they were barely on the show. I remember the old campy comedy Batman and Robin from the 70s and prefer the lighter approach as I just can't take superheroes seriously - I'm not 10yrs old. Even in the campy version sometimes the good guys won sometimes they lost.

Besides I despise shows that show only one side of good or evil when there has to be a balance - sorry but I don't think in the kind of town Gotham is, that J Gordon would have to go it alone there wouldn't be anyone helping him (Batman aka Bruce is still a kid so he can't help yet). I'd rather the show had just been about Bruce and Selena and Alfred with some bad guys thrown in not the other way around and from J Gordon's POV.

If it's a show you like then go ahead and watch but it's just not for me! Although I would have liked to have scene the discovery of the bat cave :) I bet that part was cool!
