This is where the actual series begins

I am going to say another time that it is unfair to rate the entire series with such a low rating because of the mediocre pilot or the first few episodes.

The last 2-3 episodes showed a big improvement, plot-wise and character-wise. Now the relationships between the characters are starting to develop and the acting is starting to show. Yes, the plot and the acting are not perfect, but they are pretty good

Maybe the group was rushed to be called Gotham Knights, maybe Turner's development into kind of a badass was kinda rushed too, but it sets things in motion for the series to really shape into what it is going to be.

And of course I love Harvey's story! We are teased about his descent to becoming two-face, but who knows? Maybe there will be a plot twist coming!

Duela, i hear you!

So many people grumbling about how terrible it is - a show without Batman, a female version of Robin, etc.

I guess when they make a SPN sequel without Dean, Cas and Sam, I will also grumble about how there is nothing sacred for people these days, how it was possible to insult the legacy of SPN in such a way, how it is possible to film SPN without the Winchesters, etc. But the truth is that everything evolves and changes. And what does not change, begins to rot.

The episode is great. And the ending... Poor Duela, I understand her.

But our Bat Bratz are great. I love stories like this when people start to understand that if you want to see the good around you, you have to start with yourself. God has no other hands than ours. Good does not happen because it is done by someone there. But because you do it. Just like that and nothing else.

Better with every episode

This episode makes me think about what's going on in that city. For real. So much criminal, bloody money and corruption. And there is no one who can defend civilians. Those Gotham Knights won't stand a chance against corrupted police and courts. Of course there must be something else.

I like how Harvey can't understand what's happening to him. His story arc is interesting and intriguing. Also that scene with psychiatrist was so good. Misha is talented man and I was heartbroken to hear what Harvey has to experience while living with dad like his one. It was great scene. Any the finale scene too. I assume there is some mind controlling here.

Harper and Cullen's scene where Cullen found out his sister did it for him makes my heart melt. It's painful but sweet at the time.

Stand tall, GK, this is where your story begins

Wow this show is starting to gain traction. We learned more about Harper this week, and secrets she's kept from Cullen, showing her protective side more. The lengths she'll go to protecting him, getting him what he needs is lovely, hopefully now they'll start communicating more and she'll see what he's capable of!

Duella's little talk to Turner gave me goosebumps, I love her to bits as a character, but I wouldn't trust her further than I could kick her and her statement that when "you have noone left to trust you learn to trust yourself". She doesn't trust them, and will turn on them to survive if she has to...

More depth to Stephanie's story, I have a horrible feeling she may find her mother dead on that couch one of these days :( my heart breaks for her.

Carrie is only 15? If her mother finds out the truth that is NOT going to go well. Are all these kids 15? I'd have thought 17-18...

And finally there's Harvey. The glimpse of a traumatic childhood, the fear of what's happening to him. I'm dying to see how this all plays out, the slow descent to becoming Two=-Face has definitely begun. My theory is that the Court of Owls has some kind of hypnosis trigger to bring that side of him out, controlling him using that music. Either that or Rebecca holds that trigger... either way, they're controlling the release of 'Fugue Harvey', it's not involuntary. Could get interesting as the campaign ramps up, what if someone plays that song in public?

I can't wait to see Misha actually play the bad side, so far it's all happening off camera, we only get to see the real Harvey struggling to understand what the hell is happening.

More money, more mysteries

Wow, so someone is using Harvey as a puppet to make him do evil things. Music triggering his dark side. Is it the Court of Owls? Who, specifically? Rebecca? Lincoln? Both of them? Somebody else?

The talk with the therapist was heartbreaking, to say the least. Kudos to Misha's acting skills.

I loved all the interactions between the boys/girls, especially Cullen/Harper and Duela/Turner.

I felt so heartbroken for Stephanie and worried for Carrie.

I'm getting affectionate to all the characters and can't wait to watch next episodes. Too bad I must wait 2 weeks this time.

This show definitely needs a Season 2 because it's too good.
