Much better than I thought it would be
23 March 2023
Let me just say that I went into the show with very low expectations. I had heard all of the negative buzz surrounding the show, and really was expecting to hate it like everyone else but surprisingly Gotham Knights actually is pretty good. Now don't get me wrong the show definitely has the typical flaws of a CW show some cringy dialogue and acting and the lower budget with the costumes. However, at the same time, it also is a little bit darker than your typical CW show. I mean, in the very first episode, we see a guy get his head chopped off and they showed it, which I never would have expected The CW of all places to show something like that.

The characters I also liked in the series Turner Hayes may not be the best protagonist as you really feel like they just wanted to use Dick Grayson but weren't able to, but he's a decent protagonist and I think he has potential. I also surprisingly liked all three of the villain kid characters, especially the jokers daughter, who I expected to be the biggest cringiest of them all, and she's actually the most interesting and complex character. I also thought it was really cool that we got to see Stephanie Brown in the series as I believe it was her first live action appearance, and it was so cool getting to see that for the first time. And so far I think they have done a good job with the court of owls. I think the talon was done good in the last episode, and I like the mystery they are building there with them.

Overall, I got to say I was pleasantly surprised with Gotham Knights. I actually think that more people should go into the show with an open mind and give it a chance it's not the greatest DC show out there but I think that this show has a lot of potential, and I'm excited to watch the rest of the season.
