 Is it me or is everybody going extra gravel voice this season? More growl = more dramatic tension.

 I'm digging how after being cut off for only a couple months there's already groups of victorian cockney urchins in threadbare velvet and heavily modified wasteland mutants.

What’s the deal with Barbara because what the Christ. Her character just completely changed after one episode.

You’re in for quite a ride.

I also blitzed through it on Netflix this weekend, very enjoyable. It took them a while to find their feet, I remember watching a bit of the fist season while visiting friends in New Zealand, it seemed like just a normal cop show with a bit of Batman lore thrown in... what a difference a few years make, a completely different show!

It was pretty crazy from the get go, I mean balloon man, dozens of street kids getting kidnapped, the goat killer and the bone-dissoving super strength drug were in the first half of the season.

True, but it also had a lot of not-crazy stuff in it.

Remember, there were a few soap opera elements front-and-center in the early going, and it really leaned much more heavily on the police procedural side. It tried to blend regular stuff with crazy stuff, and if you ask me, the show was OK but didn't really find its feet until they said, "screw the normal stuff; we're going full-on bat(man)-poo poo crazy!"

I just rewatched it and my memory of it was that season 1 was less insane but it didn't feel that way. That said there is a tone shift between that and "the resurrected mayor [who was part of a bruce wayne death cult] but is now azarael gets blown up with an rpg" crazy.

 One thing season one does very effectively is establish the GCPD as the worst police force in the history of television.

 Michele Gomez was the perfect balance of actual talent and hammy overacting for Gotham.

 Oh god how had I forgotten what’s probably the single best moment in the whole series until I just rewatched this episode?
