Gotham: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]

This is a fun, fantastic looking set. I enjoyed the series and it really hit it’s stride on Season 2. The amount of content in this set is awesome. I was able to pick this up on sale for $24.99! The PQ on these Blu-ray’s are really gorgeous. Definitely a happy camper by getting this.

If you're a diehard Batman fan, chances are you've already seen this series and made your own determination to its quality. If you have not though, you possibly should. This is a great series that delves into the backstory of how Bruce Wayne, the Caped Crusader, aka Batman, along with his numerous adversaries, came to become the hero and foes known so well. Even though set in the modern times, it manages to keep itself grounded in decades long past. It explores the backstory of how the Penguin, Riddler, Joker, and so many other enemies of Batman came to be, which is quite exciting to watch. The actors in these roles fill their roles perfectly and make you not only understand how, but why, they become the evil villains they do. And not only that, you actually CARE about them and may find yourself rooting for them to make the "right choice" when you already know the foretold outcome awaiting them. As for young Bruce, you understand the struggle and decisions he made that eventually leads to his donning the mask and cape, which in itself is an interesting journey to witness. Overall, it's a great series and definitely something to watch if you have any interest in the characters. Just don't expect it to be entirely "comic accurate" as the writers definitely take liberties with all of the history already established. A side note worth mentioning, this bluray set comes with digital codes to stream seasons 1 through 4, but NOT the final season 5. Some people have had success contacting the studio and getting a code for it, others have been told no, it's not included with this specific set.

Sure, it's just another superhero background story, it is just that -- and so much more! GOTHAM could just as easily be called HOW BATMAN CAME TO BE, butt it's also a how The Penguin, Joker (NOT the movie Joker), and Riddler came to be. Unlike background series structured closely to SMALLVILLE (ARROW, FLASH, ETC), GOTHAM does not stick to the villain-of-the-week formula, but instead follows ongoing story lines which gives a dark seriousness to the education of Bruce Wayne. Perfect for binging so you don't have to maintain interest and memory spacing the tale out in one hour per week increments. The guest stars are creatively cast (PeeWee Herman in Gotham?!) And the production values are stunning -- and did you notice the price?! So what are you waiting for?!

I bought this at a discounted price here on Bestbuy. It is worth purchasing the set. It came with individual seasons in their own case. Season 1-4 included digital codes. The only drawback was that Season 5 did not include a digital code. I reached out to WB and they stated that this product was not intended to come with digital codes, so the codes in the cases were a sort of bonus.

Enjoyed the series enough to buy and watch again now thats it complete. I seem to pick up more when I binge a series, or at least a season over a weekend, the subtle bits are still fresh in the head. The Digital codes for seasons 1-4 are included, but not for season 5.

Good show, shoes a dark side of commissioner Gordon that most didn't know he had but it's to clean up gotham. The only problem I had is season 5 didn't have a code for digital copy but you can contact wb digital support and they will give you. New code when you provide proof that you bought a brand new copy of the set. Took me less than an hour to get a code for the 5th and final season.

I understand this show is not "good" by any stretch of the imagination. Season 1 is fairly abysmal with the only bright spots being Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock being the dumbest detectives in Gotham. Season 2, however, turns a corner and embraces the campiness that has always existed just below the surface of the comic series. It's so silly and ridiculous and every actor knows it and just gives 100%. The best version of Victor Zsasz, period.

I really enjoyed this series. SOme interesting characters in addition to the main Batman villains, and interesting to see how they brought the characters to life and showed their evolution. The final season was so-so and a bit rushed into the shorter # of episodes. Also, some people appear to have received codes for the digital versions for Seasons 1-4, however I didn't receive any in my box set.
