Review of Gotham

Gotham (2014–2019)
3/10
For true Batman fans
4 July 2019
Gotham's ratings are hollow as money speculation, histerically inflated like intestinal gases inside colourful balloons.Tim Burton's two Batman movies deserve those kind of scores, Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" deserve it too. The kitsch series stands up for high rankings also. Because there's a solid, strong writing behind all of them, and hugely talented actors. Frank Miller and Alan Moore are two of those writers.

The series starts kind of okay with its ups and downs, great episodes, not so good ones, some really good and faithful to the comics noir essence. Then it gets caught on a vertigo of improbable situations, the string of the narrative becomes chaotic, the characters become erratic and look like puppets on a child's stage. It starts to sound ridiculous. There's no concept of death anymore, the basis of Batman's world.

But it gets worse when the series starts to look like a cheap soap opera, the quality of the acting decreases, the comedy becomes a desperate attempt to catch the audiences. It's really painful to see DC ruining it's world while the blind fans are applauding it.
