*This review contains minor spoilers* Click here for the SPOILER YouTube review Although it once again goes in dozens of different directions and tries to service too many characters, “Gotham” delivers an overall enjoyable fourth season.

*This review contains minor spoilers* Click here for the spoiler-filled YouTube review A strong new superhero show that, despite the fantastical elements, is grounded by a down-to-earth family drama.
