Gotham is a show that will keep you waiting to know more season one 76% rotten tomato score. Rotten Tomato said Gotham has “ High production values,a talented cast, and an appealingly stylized approach to the Batman mythos help Gotham overcome its occasionally familiar themes.  I could entirely agree with Rotten Tomatoes’ response if you want to bring a good choice with five seasons and one hundred episodes  spanning five years of filming. It’s a well rounded show I would recommend to fans of Dc or someone just wanting an interesting show to watch.
