8) Gotham
The first season of the Batman prequel split opinions, with the cheesy tone often clashing with the darker elements of the series. Despite some bumps in the road, Gotham was for the most part an enjoyable take on the very early years of characters like Bruce Wayne and Jim Gordon, and while it’s sometimes a little hard not to be annoyed by the lack of respect to the source material, even the most die-hard comic book fans should be able to accept it as an alternate take on the origin story of the Caped Crusader and his greatest enemies.
Season two will somewhat controversially tackle The Joker’s story, with The Penguin’s rise to power and Bruce’s discovery of what one day might become the Batcave all set to play key roles moving forwards. While Gotham haters probably won’t want to return (it doesn’t appear as if the show will have altered much), if you’re already invested in it, then it should be a must-watch.
