I just finished Gotham (the series) and I fucking hated it
Let me explain...
The first season was good, it showed penguin origin, how he started becoming a villain entangled with the Gotham mafia and all, how GCPD was corrupted through the core and all of that, it even showed villain characters in their pre-villain like Edward Nygma (the Riddler) and others...
But then, the seacon season came and they inteoduced Mr Freeze (my favorite villain), at the start of the small arc it was good, they showed why he was doing crime, his experiments, his moral and all... and his wife, the wife that in the canon stays alive, even if in ice, because of her illnesses, right?
Well, iin Gotham, for some reason, they decided to kill her, and that's when everything went down. The series continues for a total of 5 seasons
Don't get me wrong, they didn't ruin every villain (like my poor Mr Freeze) but like a good half of it, but some stayed good, or at least decently good, like: Penguin, The Riddler, Firefly, Scarecrow, The Mad Hatter (in some way), Joker (for a half, because at the start was good, then ruined it, then in the last episode made it good again) Others... well... Not so much, they even killed a bunch that appear in the Batman canon.
But in all off this mess, the last episode of the last season (so the episode where Batman kinda of appears) was good, not really good, but good. They tried to close and open some storylines, but still the end was good.
And just to say, they Killed Ra's Al Ghul (not once but twice), and used Nyssa Raatko (and called her Nyssa Al Ghul and proclaimed sole heir, so she's an only child?) and not Talia Al Ghul, just to say.
So would I suggest to watch the series? Nah, not really, if you want to explore a little but of the villain backgrounds, especially Penguin and the Riddler, then yeah, you'll maybe like it, but for the rest? Nah.
But this is just my opinion, do what you want with it.
