Gotham: The Complete First Season [subtitles] (Amazon Instant Video)

Customer Review

"Gotham" tells the history of the infamous and corrupt city on the northeast coast of the United States of the DC Universe (Batman and Superman series), which is any of the well-known Batman films known.

In a TV show, it depends on the amount and the mixing ratio of various factors, whether the concept works. When genre has any specific preferences, but the basic rules for the success of a series are always the same and I can equally anticipate: Gotham "holds each of these rules a masterful The series has a good cast, a multi-stranded and comprehensible plot, the very deliberate. leads to entanglements, varied and multi-layered characters and a noticeable development. Elaborate shoots and timelessly beautiful scenes but this is almost beside the point very consistent and all of a piece.

The series mixes elements sent a cop show with the history of the origin of the famous villains from the Batman universe. They also, of course, shows the development of the 13-year-old Bruce Wayne to the adult Batman, and how it came to his work with his butler Alfred and Detective / Commissioner Gordon.
There are also two other camps, namely the two rival mafia bosses Carmine Falcone and Salvatore Maroni. As previous main villain, and taking on the young Oswald Copplepot (Robin Taylor) and learns not only how he became a penguin, but as manipulative and cunning he plays off the two camps against each other. Here the character is given so much depth that it has even like him. Would not surprise me if this a deserved Emmy (? Or similar) beckons nomination.

Main protagonist is the unused and integrity Polizistennovize James Gordon (Ben McKenzie), who will later become the famous legend police. But first with Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue), a pretty cynical and unmotivated partner him will get put aside. He quickly noted that not only the municipality but also the police are corrupt, and who does not play along, anschwimmt hard against the tide. Both initially have a somewhat difficult time together, but one suspects that the advantages of both of different investigation strategies will complement symbiotic throughout the series. knows.
Gordon's first case of alleged highway robbery and murder of Bruce Wayne's parents, who seem to be resolved quickly. In the course of the investigation in this case are quite elegant and unobtrusive ever imagined the later felons Gotham within the first two episodes:

Penguin aka Oswald Copplepot;
Catwoman Selina Kyle aka;
Ed Nygma aka The Riddler,
Ivy Pepper aka Poison Ivy
The Joker.
Later will probably still others follow.

Of particular note, I find the narrative skill of the series, which was obviously done by people who understand what of television entertainment. Tooth for tooth engages a cog to another, as in a chess game action results in a reaction without striking or interfering Plotlücken. The dialogues are always a highlight and not just quick-witted, but sometimes really funny.

Very successful, I find the presentation of the city Gotham, decorated mainly in a big city like New York but erinnert- with the typical dark and elegant, Art Deco elements and gargoyles, as you'd expect from Gotham and thank God pitched a comic style as eg waived in "Batman Forever". Light and color of the scenes are selected and make a very high quality look. However, it hardly manages to date a special decade, since both phones as well as digital faucets occur. Overall, however, everything is on the style of the series very timeless and harmonious, and the sets are elaborate and huge. Often one sees outside shooting.

What promises the series? Best TV entertainment, a sophisticated plot; cool dialogues and really sympathetic protagonists. Some well-known TV faces - no superstars - refine the series addition (John Doman (of the Wire / Damages / Borgia); Morena Baccarin (Homeland), Donal Logue (Vikings)).

The only wrong choice I find far from Alfred Pennyworth (Sean Pertwee), the guardian and butler of Bruce Wayne. He has a voice like a chain smoker and I find it does not give the necessary personality of this character. Overall, it works too hard and rather "creepy" as sympathetic.

The series is equipped in the original language with English but German subtitles and thus to understand without any problems.

All in all a very elaborate and well-crafted series of high stay tuned factor. The episodes feel like each small 45 minute films and am looking forward to the continuation of the series, and hope they can maintain the level.

Addendum dated 02.26.15:'m now at Episode 17 still absolutely loved the high entertainment factor of the series. The dialogues are simply superior, cool and quick-witted. Overall, a masterpiece in storytelling (if you can call it that.)
