we've already come to the third episode of the brand new series entitled Gotham the alleged prequel of the Caped Crusader. Let me start by telling you that I've completely changed my opinion on the show. The premace was good, the casting choiced were good and even the trailer looked good but overall the storyline is boring. Though being a Batman prequel, the show is too mucb of a crime drama rather than a comic book show and therefore not appealing to someone like me who happens to dislike this type of shows. I realized, as mentioned in previous reviews, that had not they been comic book characters I wouldn't have cared for them.
I get what they are trying to do though. Every episode they wanna throw little clues to the future, and show us what made those characters become who they are. For instance in this episode we see Alfred questioning Bruce's intentions of finding out clues about the murder of his parents. The word detective gets thrown in there and then we also see Bruce understanding the importance of not killing other people no matter how many bad things they have done. The negative example of the actions of the Ballonman not only show the crime rate in Gotham but also show Bruce what's the wrong way of making things better.
These are few reasons why we should give this show a few more episodes before completely giving up on it. Though this show has many critics the ratings keep on going up week after week, perhaps witnessing the origin story of the Penguin is enough for most of them. He's certainly the show stealer but I think that in order to keep fan interested they have to step up their game.
On a side note, and just to keep speculation going, when we see the news report of the Ballonman actions on TV, that is the same news channel that we see on Arrow. Could this mean something or is it just a small tease that doesn't mean anything? If you remember correctly last week's episode featured another Easter Egg of the Arrow Universe.Anyway here's next week promo!!
