I despised the way Gordon was written because it was lazy. He was such a ridiculous stereotype, and overall I was actually disappointed with the show, especially as a serious fan.
Jada Pinkett-Smith was everything, though. She will be my James Spader - the real reason to watch an otherwise mediocre show.
I hate the current comic book TV show/movie trend and honestly, Batman is probably my least favorite of the comic book heroes, but I liked Gotham. I'm willing to see where it goes.
