In the fifth season, a wide range of dramatic and exciting events begin in this exciting series. The season opens with strong events that look quite different, as Selena is still struggling with a strange future she is trying to deal with. On the other hand, there is a new appearance of a group of bad guys in the city who survived the first attack on the city, where Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne still face the chaos in the city.
Season 5 opens with a wonderful, further-into-the-future sequence of Gotham's heavy hitters... preparing for an epic battle, and it is by FAR the best opening sequence of any show in 2019.
Some television shows require the urgency of a final season in order to realize their potential. As it begins its fifth and final season, then, Gotham proves it deserves a spot on that list.
"Year Zero" set the tone for where Gotham is going for their final season with a bang. There's no time for small henchmen or empty threats. Gotham City is at war and the villains/heroes are here to slay.
There was plenty to digest on "Year One," but every moment of this jam-packed episode was a titillating preview of how everything will meld together before we say our final goodbye to television's greatest comic book series.
I love the show's sincere commitment to everything campy about the Caped Crusader. And there's something fully giallo about this final season, all these impeccably dressed cops in a broken city of masked horror.
Season 5 will be the last for television's most unpredictable comics-based show, and the premiere made it clear that the remaining episodes will be as wild as fans have come to expect.
