Saving Gotham: 10 Reasons Why It’s Actually Brilliant

The future isn't looking too bright for FOX's Gotham. While it's been a divisive program since the beginning, a combination of low ratings and lack of renewal news means it's walking a tight rope at the moment. Furthermore, the news of DC's forthcoming digital service should ring some alarm bells, as it'll allow Geoff Johns and company to create their own Batman-themed shows.

The Evolution Of Harvey Bullock

Recommended Videos

While the lead of the series is undoubtedly Ben McKenzie’s Jim Gordon, it’s Donal Logue’s Harvey Bullock who’s become the GCPD’s favorite cop. His character may have a dark side and questionable past, but Harvey stands firm as a straight shooter and loyal partner to Jim.

As Jim broods and whines his way through each episode, Harvey is the one who gets things done. He’ll break the rules when he has to and looks for solutions when there are none. Also, it helps that he provides a little levity to the proceedings, since Jim is a bit of a wet rag.

In terms of character development, Harvey has grown tremendously to become an extremely popular figure. He’s deeply flawed and not quite hero material, but he’s one of the shining lights of the show, week in and week out.
