This would have been a lot more fun without all the father, daughter, wife, boyfriend drama. It really cut into the action and the rhythm of the show. Maybe they thought this should be more of a romcom with the spy theme on the side. Maybe they thought it would draw more women in to watch the show. I don't know. But, whatever their reasoning, it was a real buzz kill. It distracted from the funny, exciting parts of the show. I did a lot of fast-forward with my remote to get past the "relationship" segments.

Beyond that, it was an enjoyable and even, at times, an edge of your seat thriller. Reminded me of some of the original Schwarzenegger films with a little extra James Bond thrown in. Worth trying out, if you don't mind a lot of family pettiness.

I just finished binge watching all five seasons of Gotham. All-in-all a good series, but a parallel Earth history of Batman and his associated characters. Takes a much different path on the origin stories of the friends and enemies of the Batman from most of the mainstream comics.

Most of the storyline seems built around the history and personalities of the Penguin and the Riddler and these characters are fabulous! Well written and well acted, they make the whole show. Compared to them every other character seems like an add-on or two-dimensional. Bravo to Robin Lord Taylor and Cory Michael Smith! Job well done!

The next best characters are Jim Gordan and Selina Kyle. Well done, but over simplified. Gordan is too much of a goody-two-shoes for my taste. Too ridged.

Many of the other characters seemed two-dimensional and felt as if they had been stuffed, awkwardly, into the story so as to fill out the roster of well-known Batman associates.

The first four seasons were by far the best with the fifth and final season feeling like they had "jumped the shark" just to have a bow wrapped finale.

For the most part, I really enjoyed the series, but they could have put more thought into it and done better.

Fun show! Great characters! Good actors! I have a lot of fun watching this show and so look forward to checking out new episodes. I know there are a lot of negative reviews on here, but those are all submitted by small minded, limited thinking, linear projecting impotents. So many fan boys and girls want everything to be exactly like their precious comic books. Grow up! Things need to be adapted and changed to appeal to a television audience. This is a great adaptation! Love it, love it, love it! Just like Thor: Love and Thunder, you have to break from the boring old mold and seek out new territory.
