Great Final Chapter To Gotham
If you've already bought the individual season Blu-Ray combo packs for Gotham, then this is the only Blu-Ray combo pack you need to complete your collection of Gotham, you don't need Gotham: The Complete Series Blu-Ray+DigitalHD, if you've already bought Gotham: The Complete First Season Blu-Ray+DigitalHD through Gotham: The Complete Fourth Season Blu-Ray+DigitalHD. Having said that, this is a great final chapter to the series and even though it is only 12 episodes on 2 Blu-Ray discs, don't forget that you also get the rights to watch the Vudu (or FandangoNow) versions of the episodes in HD. I bought this on Black Friday. $9.99 is a great deal considering it's only 12 episodes. I would never pay $19.99 for 2 discs though. I'd say if you REALLY want a great deal on this, get it when it's $9.99 because it's worth more at $9.99 then it is at $19.99 or full price. Be advised though that this series absolutely is NOT for children. It is extremely dark in tone and will frighten young audiences. And yes, I'm aware that the combo packs say TV-14 LV but I am telling you, I've seen the show, and it is in no way appropriate for young children due to the violent content and disquieting menace alone.

Rushed Half Season.
The last season of Gotham was unfortunately only half the usual episodes and many of the story lines seemed rushed as a result. Unfortunate. But, that being the case, they did a good job with what they had. Many were confused by the "10 years later" leap in the last episode. Too bad that couldn't have been eased into a bit. All in all a good season, especially if you're already a fan of the show and invested with the characters. It's worth it just to see the Penguin's final transition into the Penguin we all know and love. And the very lovely Lili Simmons (from Banshee) was brought in to portray the older Selina Kyle/Catwoman. We also witness the final step in the Joker's transformation.

Final Season Seemed Rushed
Gotham has been an outstanding series since the beginning. Casting was spot on for all the villains to be. Storyline was coherent, acting top notch. However the fifth and final season was barely half the number of episodes of the previous four full season count. Fox seemed to be in a hurry to end it. Kind of “why spend the time and money on something we’re not renewing?” Overall the plot lines were resolved and a somewhat satisfying conclusion was reached. Audio and video quality of the Bluray set was excellent as always. The show will very much be missed.
