Gotham 1x04 Arkham

Hey guys,

we are already at the fourth episode of Gotham and the show is starting to show its true colors. Though having introduced plenty of Batman villains, it is clear now that these will only be side characters, except for the Penguin. This episode revolves around a hit man and his victims who are councilmen who had to take important decisions in regards to the Arkham Asylum.
Frankly when I thought of the idea of a Batman prequel, I was actually afraid it would have gone this way. The episode is quite boring, and the pace is very slow. The episode tries to show the corruption of the city of Gotham and how easily the mob can take out or bribe anyone


The link between the Falcones and the Marones, however is quite interesting in order to have a perspective of what the situation is in Gotham and I like the actors who play key roles, however the character development is very poorly executed. Most scenes with Gordon and Bullock are boring and we hardly emphatize with them.

The show is very poorly handwritten, although some characters make me want to stick with the show at least for a couple more episodes.

Honestly, my opinion on this show is that it is not worth watching just for a few good moments in each episode and for that final moment when we'll see Bruce become Batman.
Here's a sneek peek of next week's episode
