It has one of the really good Brit actors...Cillan Murphy in the lead role and Sam Neill (of Jurassic fame!) set in the period after WW1 in Birmingham about the Peaky Blinders Irish gang and all that entails. There is blood!! And you'll have to tune your ear to the irish brogue

100x better than Agents of SHIELD.
For me right now I make time for TV when it's the Packers, Raptors, "Mountain Men", "Walking Dead" or "Game of Thrones" but everything else has been given a backseat for now.
My PS4 has been eating up my downtime.

I just really enjoy the gritty tone to it. Setting things up nicely for our next caped crusador.Apollo wrote: View PostYeah, that sounds good. The reason I ask about ratings because that determines if there will be a season 2. If it was performing badly I would just delete the PVR episodes and call it a day.
Gotham's challenge is going to be coming up with compelling story arcs every season to help push things along. Otherwise it could dry up into too much of a stylized procedural that could get very boring.

This may sound dumb.. but I prefer when a tv show has less episodes.. the writers can spend more time and create quality television that way. With 22 episodes the show can get watered down and then it essentially becomes boring.
I'll give Gotham a try but I'm going to wait until the season is over. I hate picking up a show that gets canceled or doesn't get renewed after its first season. I started watching Sleepy Hallow in the summer and got into it.. now I'm hearing the second season isn't doing so well which sucks.
Another really good show that I saw this summer was a show called Salem. It's on some US network like WGN or something. I believe it only had 10 episodes.. but it was great since each episode mattered. Can't wait for season 2.

If you haven't seen Ricky Gervais' new show "Derek" via Netflix, I highly recommend it. I think its brilliant. Typical Brit humour. I can't recall the last time I've laughed this hard watching a show or movie. Gervais is great, but his buddies on the show Kevin and Dougie take the cake. Absolutely hilarious!

Another Scandinavian inspired series is "Wallander"... a a crime series based in Sweden with Kenneth Branagh (one of my fav actors) in the lead role.
