The first episode was on Channel 7 and I really liked it but the rest of the series is on Presto so I think it was a bit of a ploy to hook people in with the first episode and hope they sign up to Presto to watch the rest of it. I've got a free 3 month Presto sub but can't be arsed.

Im into the second episode of Gotham. It was recently added to Netflix.

Im enjoying this more than I did Daredevil.

The Penguin characters really coming out of his shell.

Not a fan of Jim Gordans partner. The character or the acting.

I assume Season 1? Season 2 has just started on US TV but Season 1 is pretty good. King Horik grows on you as the season goes on but it's so long I started losing interest about 16-17 episodes in and really had to push through to finish it, it started getting a bit silly.

It was alright but I'm not in a rush to dive into the second season just yet.

Penguin owns the first season.

And yeah Barbara is a shit character, she's still in it now in season 2, I'm just waiting for her to be killed off.

Bullock (King Horik) is one of the better characters in the show.

A fair bit has changed in season 2 thus far.

Oh when HH3 said partner I assumed he meant work partner because you know and yeah Bullock I could only remember his name from Vikings he ends up being perhaps the best character I reckon.

Couldn't handle the guy that played Alfred at all.

Yeah i meant his work partner.

The whole lesbian relationship thing seems like a pointless plot point too.

I watched 3 episodes tonight. They do seem to go for a long time, and i was surprised to see it has 20+ episodes for the first season.

Yeah excellent episode, who would have thought when none of Rick, Glen and Darryl were involved. Gonna suck when some of the main group start disappearing because there's not really anyone I don't like these days.

Looking forward to it, hopefully it brings some more brutal action.
