I just watched the pilot and second episodes. They obviously weren't filmed back-to-back. The second episode picks up immediately from where the pilot ended, but there's a completely different actor in the opening scene. Aside from that, I think the show is really good.

damn't, hopefully fishburne can continue on with Hannibal even with the success of Black-ish

the pilot was pretty good, the 2nd episode was hot garbage
UBM CD COMING SOON

How to get away with Murder was very good. Shonda Rhimes is writing the best anti Heros but they are black females so will not get jocked like Walter White.

Definitely want Gotham to be better than it is. I think the acting is fine and visually the show is quite stunning. Some of these story arcs are absolutely terrible though and make no sense, and even more obvious is the fact that, from what it appears, the producers can't agree as to what fictional time period this world takes place in (the fbi agents for example look and act like they're out of a cbs crime drama or something, just infuriating). A lot of these errors this early on make me very skeptical as to how long this show has to go.

I do however LOVE what they've been doing with the Penguin character. Probably the one thing keeping my interest in tact every week.

A lot of these shows have reached their 3rd episodes, usually the point where people decide if they're going to continue watching or bail on them. Anything thread worthy yet?

I've watched Scorpion (predictable procedural), Stalker (created by Kevin Williamson, who created Scream, which this show felt like, and he also created The Following, which he copied the same opening credits graphics from), and Transparent, which I think is great (only 3 episodes in so far). Still have Gracepoint downloaded, but then, I also have the full season of Broadchurch, which I haven't watched either. Debating on which I should go with first.

Last night's Gotham was actually an improvement. Paced really well. The comic book elements came out a lot more with this week's villain. Robin Taylor as Penguin continues to be interesting, and they had a nice scene with Edward Nygma who continues to be slightly underused but I hope that changes soon if the series continues.
