Everyone knows the name Commissioner Gordon. He is one of the crime world's greatest foes – a man whose reputation is synonymous with law and order. But what is known of Gordon's story and his rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? What did it take to navigate the multiple layers of corruption that secretly ruled Gotham City, the spawning ground of the world's most iconic villains? And what circumstances created them – the larger-than-life personas who would become Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and The Joker? Growing up in Gotham City's surrounding suburbs, James Gordon (series star Ben McKenzie) romanticized the city as a glamorous and exciting metropolis where his late father once served as a successful district attorney. Now, two weeks into his new job as a Gotham City detective and engaged to his beloved fiancée, Barbara Kean (series star Erin Richards), Gordon is living his dream – even as he hopes to restore the city back to the pure version he remembers it was as a kid.  Brave, honest and ready to prove himself, the newly-minted detective is partnered with the brash, but shrewd police legend Harvey Bullock (series star Donal Logue), as the two stumble upon the city's highest-profile case ever: the murder of local billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne. At the scene of the crime, Gordon meets the sole survivor: the Waynes' hauntingly intense 12-year-old son, Bruce (series star David Mazouz), toward whom the young detective feels an inexplicable kinship. Moved by the boy's profound loss, Gordon vows to catch the killer. (Warner Bros. UK)

English Season 1 of Gotham was a nice surprise. A perfectly grim atmosphere permeated the entire season, and I also appreciate the elaborate intrigue in both the underworld and the GCPD. All the characters were well cast, and I was equally pleased with their development. The main storyline worked very well. I was slightly disappointed by the subplots at times, but I really enjoyed the first season on the whole. It goes to show that I'm far more into superhero series than superhero films lately. ()
