I watched the first season of this show and alternated between thinking it was kinda creative and thinking it was ridiculously bad.
I dropped it afterwards.
When I heard that they were pulling deep cuts from the comics like Azrael (but not the JPV version, meh) I thought about getting back in....but no.
It is shot beautifully, I'll give it that.

Gotham is amazing
You missed the mutants who were totally not a plot device to decreepify poison ivy

I was never able to get into the show. Probably will try again when it's done but it's definitely the best looking comic book show. Hell it looks better than a lot of non comic book shows too

The costumes tend to be corny af. Their Freezer is almost as bad as Arnie

After the first season when they said fuck it, it just got so fun.

Fuck
Was that connected to the whole thing I read about aging Ivy up and getting rid of the little girl who played her in the first episode?

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Sometimes it's one of the dumbest shows on the air, but their production design is A+
Costumes, sets, CG backgrounds to alter the look of New York. The list goes on and on. It makes it really hard to go back to what Marvel TV has been popping out because they do literally the bare minimum with their Netflix programming, which also films in NYC.

No idea what the difference is I only saw the last couple episodes of the last season randomly on TV.
The people Barbara and/or the penguin employ are a god damn circus.
Edit: saw your edit def first looks the most not awful.
Barbara should have been written off the show two seasons ago. What else is there to do with her? Then again, the show can't write female characters that aren't somehow fucking James Gordon or just "crazy" so whatever...
There's a lot of things that need to be fixed plot and story wise, but I think it's too late for that and they're just saying "Ok, we Batman now."

Visually I love the show so much
Probably my favorite show visually on tv,
hell it makes Nolan's Gotham look even more bland.

They did the "Joker cuts his face off" stuff?
Hell yeahLegion is way more visually interesting

All I know about Gotham is in one episode there was a villain who killed people by tying helium balloons to them or something. That was enough to keep me from watching it.
It's the Citizen Kane of shows with Cameron Monaghan Joker portrayals.
That isn't the joker, that is "Jerome"
Jerome is actually Joker spelled backwards

To be fear the dude that played Jerome put a 145% into the role.

Gotham's visuals are pretty but I definitely agree with people that Legion has the best visuals out of all the comic book shows (Hell Legion is the best superhero/comic book show out there)
Tho Gotham does have the best visuals of the network/netflix comic book shows (Tho It's writing could use some work).

The stupidest moment I have ever seen on a semi-serious tv show...
one of the best things i'd ever seen, played it back like 6 times.
What about their Ben Reily?
Gotham is a very well shot show with core characters that are well acted and likable.
The downside being the show likes to focus on outlandish bullshit stories and characters that are not good as the season long arcs.
I think early on the show was committed to doing it's own thing and then sort of fell into the "fuck it, we need super villians and Bats for ratings" and it went sideways from there. The S1 crime heavy stuff was much preferred.

His fans did but yes
So let me get this straight. Bruce Wayne is 13 years old. That means the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Catwoman, etc will be running around gotham for 20-30 years?
Even when Batman or Gordon captures them and sends them to prison, they escape and do the same shit over and over again?
Yes Batman will be beating up senior citizens
