And from the preview for next week, it looks like we'll get to see Professor Pyg.

I've only watched the pilot so far, but I thought it at least warranted a few more
episodes before I make my mind up.

About 1/2 way through the pilot though, my wife looks up and says "OK, so it's just
another cop show, except it's in Gotham."

Which pretty much sums up any of my thoughts about the show too.  I think we were
both expecting more Batman and less CSI: Gotham

I'm not seeing much CSI here. This doesn't come off as procedural to me, but more drama/action. Feels more like Arrow to me.

And from the preview for next week, it looks like we'll get to see Professor Pyg.

After they said something about "he's going after bad cops", I was thinking it'd be Prometheus. I'm glad they're using more obscure villains like the Dollmaker, and possibly Pyg, Prometheus, and I'm sure others. That's what I liked about Beware the Batman.

I'm trying to figure out if this show is set in present day or what though. Everyone's using cellphones, but at the same time, a lot of the cars, especially the police cruisers, are from 80s or earlier.

Sadly, it seems we did not actually get Pyg.  Now that, however, begs the question:  Was that an intentional chain jerking, or pure coincidence that we got to see him in a pig mask?  I almost hope they were intentionally screwing with Batman fans just because they can.  :)

The dude's second disguise made me think of The Shadow. Possibly another nod since Batman is somewhat based on that character.

I tell you they certainly nailed the casting on these guys. Robin Lord Taylor as the Penguin is unreal. The dude creeps me the hell out every week.

I'd watch it if it was just about Penguin he's so good.  Best part of the show so far.

I've never been a huge fan of procedurals and this one is no different in that aspect.  But I'll keep watching it just for the characters.  Just like I kept watching the abysmal "The Cape" just for Keith David and James Frane.  I absolutely love Penguin and could watch him all day.  I also love Selena Kyle but to be honest she kinda creeps me out too.  Not because the actress or character is creepy but because it's like watching a 15 year old Michelle Pfeiffer.  I'm pretty sure Michelle did discover the secret of time travel.

See, I'm not seeing where this is a procedural. Yes, they're going to take clues and ultimately solve the crime, cause the main character is a cop. But this is nothing like CSI or Law & Order.

Indeed.  It doesn't focus on the procedures that would make it a procedural.
When you insult someone by calling them a "pig" or a "dog" you aren't maligning pigs and dogs everywhere.  The same is true of any term used as an insult.

It's just an old fashion cop/mob show, not a procedural. (or at least very little)

Was it just me,  or

was that a Queen Consoliated logo on the side of a building about half way through tonight's episode?

I think tonight was my favorite episode.  The writers are really starting to hit their stride.

Just as a crime show, I really enjoy this. Some great characters, good writing and twisted plots usually considered "too complicated" for network TV viewers.  And the show even looks good. Then add in that this is the Batman world and all the tie ins and Easter eggs. I also like that they've made little Bruce a bit venge-crazy and Alfred is a pretty dark mentor. I like that touch, and it's one we haven't really seen yet in the live action versions before it.

Plus the Penguin.

The Penguin is better than I was expecting when I first saw him.  But I think Bullock is my favourite character on the show right now.

Yeah, Bullock has been great.  Donal Logue is great in just about everything.

I'm liking the way Nygma is developing too. Honestly, I'm not too sure there's a character I don't like.
