There’s a lot right with Gotham, but there’s also a lot wrong with it. A lot of things that don’t work well and a lot of things that work brilliantly. It’s normal for a first season to be a bit shaky, to take time to figure out what kind of tv show it wants to be (just look at Marvel’s Agents of Shield) but Gotham seems to be inconsistent sometimes. …
