Batman has been an incredibly popular character for 75 years so it seems like the Gotham TV show should be a slam dunk success in the ratings. Will it actually succeed and be renewed for a second season — or will it bomb? Could it be cancelled quickly? Stay tuned.
Gotham is a dark crime drama that tells the early stories of police detective James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and iconic Gotham City characters — before they became legendary crimefighters, villains. and vigilantes. The rest of the cast includes Erin Richards, Donal Logue, David Mazouz, Jada Pinkett Smith, John Doman, Camren Bicondova, Robin Lord Taylor, Cory Michael Smith, Zabryna Guevara, Victoria Cartagena, Andrew Stewart Jones, and Sean Pertwee.

1/17 update: Gotham has been renewed for a second season.
Final season averages: 2.19 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.10 million total viewers.
Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.

What do you think? Do you like the Gotham TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
People need to not be afraid to hate this show. There will always be more Batman, so not giving this show ratings (because it doesn’t deserve them) is no big deal. It’s not the end of Batman. Though I would absolutely love it if it was actually centered around him.
I do agree that there will always be more Batman but believe that this program is getting very well deserved ratings! I don’t understand why you don’t think the storyline doesn’t revolve around him…… I believe that it totally does. None of these characters would even exist if it were not for Batman. Bruce has been a central character in every episode. I appreciate the way they are developing his persona as well as the other characters. Bruce’s interaction with Jim Gordan as well as Alfred adds incredibly to the whole back story as a whole. Fish Mooney is an… Read more »
Show is great, i’ll definitely continue to watch this, have loved Ben McKenzie since the O.C started. Show is doing good, especially against TBBT and The Voice which are huge shows.
find it cerebrally interesting….more depth than I expected. Love the darkness of it. Enjoy how it is about the early stories of the charactors. we like it. we will watch it and will continue to do so…wishing it all the luck possible…dont usually watch much on a regular basis but this deserves a chance. It should appeal to all ages who are interested in the Batman story. After The Dark Knight series, no one should touch that. This is a great twist .
it’s only two episodes in but, much to my surprise, i’m kinda liking it. i’m hoping that it will be given a fair chance.
Terrible show. Boring as all get out. I know! Let’s make a show about a young Spiderman before he got bitten! Focus it around a teenage Doc Oc and a middle aged Aunt and Uncle! What fun that would be! Freaking Hell.
So far both 1st half of the 2 episodes are not that interesting…but both last half are GREAT
I didn’t watch Gotham last night and didn’t miss it. It doesn’t do anything for me.
Gotham is great so far . Keep up the good work. Renew it already…sheeeesh
It sucks!
I watched exactly 19 minutes of the first episode and I felt the script and acting was terrible. Tonight I watched 22 minutes and again felt that this show will not see a 2nd season. Maybe they are trying to attrack the same demographics that used to go and see Justin Bieber 3 years ago. Unfortunately this show affects your ambition to stay up longer and watch other shows so viewership for later shows may drop as well. This show should be at 900am on a Saturday or Sunday morning to capture the young teens.
Since we DVR everything, we get to watch everything! I thought this was pretty darn good.
WOW!!! A great start to a new twist on The Dark Knight series! It’s awesome to be able to see the characters full back stories. I look forward with great anticipation for the next episode. I hope they explore things fully and not just jump here and there!!! Awesome start to a great idea!
I was expecting about 10 million viewers even though it was going against Big bang Theory, The Voice, DWTS, and Monday night football. Overall good debut
Well just night 1 I know some people can come 2 things real quick on some things but u have to give it a chance I’m getting ready to watch it now because I saw bit and pieces of it in between looking at DWTS that’s going to be it’s stiff competition along with the voice that time slot is a hard time and that night even 4 hollow sooooooooooooo give it a try.
I think the show was over-hyped. It was only ok for the most part, boring in other parts. I will pass.
