This tv series has some amazing aspects like great characters, backstories, romances, fights, political showings, villains and so on and i liked it a lot but overall it has a lot of wasted potential and I personally think it could have been a lot better if it was more realistic. This is arguably the most unrealistic real world connected show I've watched in my life and the unrealistic factors that constantly appear are very annoying. When i first watched the first 13 episodes of this series I thought it was gonna be something similar to prison break not including the DC and batman aspects of course and Jim Gordon seemed like a cop version of Micheal Scofield to me at first with Dr Lee Thompkins being his Sara Tancredi and while i did find several similarities throughout the series I probably couldn't have been more wrong. Gotham is a lot darker, more unrealistic and overall less satisfying + the prisons and asylums were unrealistic with almost all stories regarding them being either boring or simply non satisfying mainly because the prisons were way too easy to break out of. This show certainly has some great stories and character development but it commonly goes too far and sometimes becomes an insult to the DC comics characters not to mention the arguably main character Jim Gordon seems great at first and mostly but he has several moments where he simply loses the audience's respect due to acting like an idiot or being too uncareful or at least a bad friend. The actors however were pretty great and I don't recall any bad ones with the ones who stick out the most for their talent are Penguin, Harvey, Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. In terms of seasons in my opinion the best, most realistic and fun season was 3 as it had the least annoying elements, best villains and best storylines + was definitely the most connected season to the past 2 whereas season 2 although had great aspects was commonly very annoying or predictable, S1 started pretty great but was overall just wasted dark potential, S4 was great but seemed Incomplete and ruined some good backstories as well as characters and had a pretty bad romance to it and S5 was probably the second best despite being the shortest due to making a new great story about it, having a great ending and overall different vibe to it + continued the Bruce and joker story very well but overall it was short, rushed and ruined both the batman and Bane story to some extent. Overall this series was very fun and interesting but due to so many bad elements I can't give it more than a 7/10.
