Gotham: Pilot (Review)

My god this was amazing.... and I mean AMAZING.

This is not a hero show, but a cop and origin show featuring some of the greatest villains and heroes of the Batman universe. But the best thing is, the show is about how they are working their way up to become what they are "today."

The premise of the show follows Jim Gordon as a detective, trying to fulfil a promise he made to Bruce Wayne to hunt down his parents.

The episode does a great job at setting up storylines without giving too much away for the future. The tension between the characters is just brilliant and Edward Nygma was just.... wow. 

But the stand out performances came from Jada Pinkett Smith as the hard as nails criminal Fish Mooney and Robert Lord Taylor as the double crossing, manipuative and violent Oswald Cobblepot.

This is a show you have to watch. Even if you don't like supeheroes you will like this. Its more of a cop show and I must say a great one at that.
