Gotham TV Reviews and Episode List
Gotham provides an alternate look at a young Bruce Wayne before he becomes Batman and James Gordon before his ascension to police commissioner. It’s a Batman show without Batman as the creators continue to find new ways to work in or hint at the threats and evil forces Batman will encounter in the future.
This is the main hub for every review, which will be updated weekly during the season.
Additionally, here’s the Episode Guide and original air date for all the Gotham episodes in case you’re binging and need to figure out the proper viewing order. Or in the case of the first season, which ones are worth watching.
