Fox's GOTHAM Series is Getting Lots of Positive Buzz!
Fox recently screened the pilot episode of their new Batman prequel series Gotham, and the reactions of the lucky few who got to see it were extremely positive! It looks as though this highly anticipated show is actually going to live up to the hype!
The trailer that was released for this series was incredible. It was so good it gave me the goosebumps. It sounds like that trailer doesn't even do the series justice.
Gotham comes from the mind of Bruno Heller (Rome, The Mentalist), and it tells the story of Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and the rise of Gotham's villains and heroes. So here is what people are saying:
Really dug the pilot of Fox's superhero origin story Gotham. Solid crime drama with many tantalizing hints of the mythology to come.

Cannot get over how great the cast of #Gotham is — not a false note among them. Jada Pinkett Smith in particular just kills it.

Just caught an advance screening of the #Gotham premiere. Loved it. So good. Excited for @ben_mckenzie and the rest of the cast.

#Gotham is fantastic. The trailer doesn't do it justice. Definitely at the top of my list for this fall.

Loved the screening of @Gotham @ben_mckenzie and @donallogue are the ultimate bad ass team. Can't forget @jadapsmith and Fish. This fall.

Loved seeing #Gotham on the big-screen. Gorgeous show, and Ben McKenzie and Donal Logue make great on-screen partners. Excited for ep 2!

The thing about #Gotham is it's great. But you already knew that.

The proof will be in the Ep.7 or Ep.9 or E.11 of it, but FOX’s #Gotham is a really solid, well-made pilot.

It’s well-cast, top-to-bottom, and the production values play higher in context than they have in the trailers. #Gotham

I can’t shake the feeling that there are a lot of unfulfillable promises in #Gotham. But… good pilot.

Fox's new TV series #Gotham topped expectations. Love it when new shows raise the bar. Fans will be very pleased.

Plus, #Gotham stars David Mazouz and Camren Bicondova are adorably fantastic as young Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle aka Catwoman.
— Tiffany Vogt (@TVWatchtower) June 13, 2014
Also incredibly impressed with the mercurial performance of Robin Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot aka Penguin in #Gotham. He's another to watch.
— Tiffany Vogt (@TVWatchtower) June 13, 2014
Great to see both Donal Logue and Ben McKenzie bringing their A-game to #Gotham. Nice to see shades of #Southland/#Terriers in performances.
— Tiffany Vogt (@TVWatchtower) June 13, 2014
And dont even get me started about how much I loved Sean Pertwee as Alfred in #Gotham, who #Elementary fans know as Lestrade. Scene stealer!
— Tiffany Vogt (@TVWatchtower) June 13, 2014
So add #Gotham to your must-watch list for Fall. Airs Monday nights 8 pm, right before #SleepyHollow on Fox. Mondays are going to kick-ass!
— Tiffany Vogt (@TVWatchtower) June 13, 2014
Rest assured, #GOTHAM is everything that you want #GOTHAM to be. And .@robinlordtaylor is fantastic as Oswald Cobblepot (aka Penguin).
— Christina Radish (@ChristinaRadish) June 13, 2014Saw the #Gotham pilot tonight. Builds really well, and Robin Lord Taylor is a revelation as Penguin. Excited for what's next!
— Alex Zalben (@azalben) June 13, 2014Then Collider says:
"This Gotham is grimy and violent, and clearly on its way to being overrun by a criminal element that will quickly be sending it on a downward spiral. It feels much more like the real world heightened than it does a comic book world.
"There are some really heartfelt moments in both the new bond that Bruce Wayne forms with James Gordon, who finds himself working the high-profile murder of local billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne, and the clearly life-long relationship he has with butler Alfred Pennyworth (Sean Pertwee).
"Robin Lord Taylor is a true stand-out as Oswald Cobblepot, aka The Penguin. He is a low-level psychopath for Fish Mooney, but has a definite lust for power that will surely come into play as the character develops. His performance is just so good that people won’t be able to not talk about it."
MTV says:
"By far the best thing about the pilot is Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepott, the man who will later become one of Batman’s greatest enemies: the Penguin. Taylor is superb and transfixing in the role, down to his yellow teeth, creepy laugh and weird, freckled face."
The day this series airs is the day life will get even more awesome!
