Gotham is brimming with humour. Admittedly it's quite black. Season 2 is so much more insane than season 1. It's basically gone full Tim Burton. If season 1 put you then I get it as that could be quite dour but it has changed so much now.

Supergirl is alright, but I do find it naff sometimes when she is battling against butch actors, she looks pretty timid, I think the role of Supergirl would have suited Adrienne Padlicki (Agents of Shield/ Marvels's Most Wanted a.k.a. Mockingbird) more than anything. I do find the series pretty light when its up against Flash, Arrow and LOT.

 

I love Gotham though its very dark, probably because I love the dark element to it, as Severin said above its so much better now, season 1 was horrendous, the best thing they got right from Season 1 was killing off Fish Mooney, but now they have got the balance right, its basically focused on the villains of Batman, plus I like where its going now. The producers did say they have no intentions to bring Batman into the series. I think people should give it a second chance, if its not your cup of tea, that's fine, people's taste differ.

I have to disagree Martin! I think Melissa benoist is absolutely brilliant, she looks and plays the part very well. As for Supergirl moving to The CW I'm worried as to how the look of the show will suffer when apparently it was costing £3 million per episode to produce and cbs couldn't afford that with a 10 million average rating. I just hope it still looks the same :(

Well, most of the cost cutting will be on the pay for the cast, so I'd say the look won't change THAT much. To be honest the CGI was pretty dismal at times anyway and I don't mind fewer set pieces if it means more of a focus on story.

 

My biggest worry is Calista, Cat Grant is the best thing about the show, and whilst she IS staying with the show it seems like her role will be reduced as a combination of her not wanting to move to Vancouver AND The CW not being able to match her CBS salary.

Currently going through season 1 again for a refresh before season 2 starts. I forgot how good it is I've seen the teaser for season 2 and if anything it looks like the production quality is jist as high. Nice to know it should look the same regardless of the channel switch.

CALISTA is being paid the same as she was on CBS after all apparently but she will be there in a reduced capacity. She's flying out to van outer every two weeks and doing loads of different scenes all at once :lol:

bit late to the party on this one, I put off checking it out for so long even though I had seen so much about it on Tumblr etc because Superhero type things aren't usually my cup of tea but god help me I'm OBSESSED with this :blink:

 

I watched it whilst I was in Florida any time I needed to like hide indoors or just before I was going to sleep, managed to finish the entire two seasons in just under two weeks :') It took a few episodes to get into but once I did I was hooked. I was so ready to hate Kara's character but actually I really like her, even if she can be a tad annoying at times but still *.* Alex is my absolute fave, everything about her character is so endearing and she's definitely one of the more layered characters and I feel like we've only scratched the surface. I'm so glad they showed more to her than just being Supergirls sister in season two and I have to say, it's rare that a TV show handles

coming out stories

as well as they did with Alex.

Like even if things didn't happen with Maggie, the way they developed Alex coming to terms with it all would still just have been as strong and thank god they did make a point of saying that she did tell Kara etc for herself and not because she thought Maggie would be with her. It's refreshing to see a character like her have that storyline as someone in their mid-twenties figuring it all out as I feel like people are expected to "just know" or realise when they're a teenager and that's not always the case. I'm kinda nervous about what they're going to do regarding Alex and Maggie as a couple next season since Florianna Lima has been confirmed as only a recurring character.

The Writers did say at SDCC that they'd get a deserving story though so idk. I am so happy they brought Cat back, I feel like she is to Supergirl what Jessica Lange was to AHS and it really wasn't the same when she was gone (

LIVING IN AN IGLOO

?! :rofl:). Her character is amazing. I am beginning to really dislike James and Winn though, the prior in particular was just so whiny and annoying for all of season two with his guardian shite. Thank god

they killed the Kara/James thing

as that was awkward from the beginning. The only complaint I have about season one really is the whole love triangle between Kara/Winn/James, like thats the most overplayed thing :lol: I do love Lena though, I think we've got so much more to see of her, and I really love the dynamic between her and Kara :heart: Idk what to think of Mon el though, he doesn't really add much to the show at the moment but we'll see what they do with

the whole pod thing

I guess, I'm excited to see Reign in season three too *.*
