What? Whose writing style? The guy who did the book or the ones who scripted the show?

Keep watching. It’s obscebely, unfairly amazing.

Why am I always so late to the party on these best-of-the-best shows? AAAACK

a lot of people felt that way, even the cast lol

but it’s demonrail’s favorite season actually— ask him about that

i’m enjoying it more the 2nd time now that i’m not surprised by the shift of characters/location

like the whole mess is about a dispute over who gets to donate the church window haaaa haaaaa haaaaaaaaaaa (very christian of them)

sobotka v. valchek. “my sister said you were always an asshole...” lololol. it’s too fucking funny! these parochial (literally) beefs spinning into a planet-wide crime network. it is great writing.

that's actually a very stereotypical way of portraying us, Slavic folk. In a good way, actually, as it's kind of true.

Gotham (or as I read it, Got Ham?), is the only comic book based TV show that actually frames story and images and plot like comic books do. The first season was truly shit. It has gotten better and better. The last 2 seasons have been BATSHIT CRAZY. I cannot believe that they air that show on Fox on prime time. it is so violent. so very very violent. worse than some HBO shows I have seen.

Lindelof.

I might come back and give the later seasons a shot eventually, but I think he is a bit of a hack.

Turn off your televisions, sheeple.

Have an original thought. Read Bukowski or Pynchon instead.

You must not read comics.

All those terrible CW shows play out exactly like silver age DC stories (lamely an with lots of dumb shit) with some millennial melodrama added for (bad) flavor.

Preacher plays like a comic book.

Legion REALLY plays like a Sienkiewicz-era New Mutants tale (which it is, to a point), and Daredevil ad Jessica Jones both have pacing and structure pulled right from a Brian Michael Bendis book.

Gotham plays like the abortion of a fetus conceived by a dim witted studio hack and Tim Burton. If there are comics that read like that, I’m glad I haven’t read them (which is weird because I’ve read more comics than you would believe).

Also, season 1 was the only good season. The show SHOULD be a gritty realistic noir about Gordon’s rookie days, with NO BAT SHIT and NO SUPERNATURAL/PARANORMAL/SUPERPOWERED SHIT. Instead, it has TWO FUCKING JOKERS, mutants, regeneration, fucking BANE (???) and Poison goddamn Ivy and a *16-year-old faux-Bruce Wayne bearing up gangs of full-grown men after boxing with his negligent parent-butler a few times.*

SPIT!

It’s shit, and is an insult to every character it portrays.
