I have all this season stacked up ready to watch, but need to finish True detective this week, then I will binge Gotham.
Is this gonna be the last season?

Have I missed this on UK freeview somehow? Or are you all talking about streaming?

I was concerned as I cannae see how they'll wrap it up in 2 episodes. But then I don't know the comic book thread they're working from.

We will be just trying to finish a few other shows first!!

It is such ashame that it is having to end, I have really really enjoyed Gotham. I was reluctant to watch it to start with because Danny Devito's penguin freaked me out a bit years ago and I thought Gotham was such a dark awful city.

It still is a dark and grim city in this but I loved how it was done and I really enjoyed Penguin in this one!

Streaming the US episodes as it hasn't reached the UK shores yet.

Info online suggests there was negotiation over the UK rights late last year / early this year between C4 & Fox as to whether it would continue to be broadcast on E4 or whether it would move to Fox UK on Sky.

C4 do appear to have secured the rights but as yet haven't provided any details over potential broadcast dates / scheduling.

Whenever C4 announce where it will sit in scheduling.

My guess would be either in the Summer / Autumn if you work on the basis that they broadcast Season 4 about 6 - 7 months behind the original US dates.

E4 started running "coming soon" promo stings for S5 during Big Bang & Young Sheldon on Thursday evening, so looks like it will be sooner rather than later smile

No official date scheduled by E4 yet, but hopefully it should be within the next month (if the gaps between previous shows starting & the trailers is anything to go by) smile

Disappointed by both the final episodes to be honest, which is a shame because it’s been such a good season.

The first episode I think everything got wrapped up way too easily and the second episode was just camp and silly.

It feels like it still had half a season left in it.

It did feel a bit rushed didn't it?
However, new/older Selina... cloud9

Sadly that's the end result of Fox pulling the plug with little notice, around this time last year, when pretty much everyone, including the shows producers, thought it was going to be renewed for at least 1, or 2, more full seasons frown

Basically they told Danny Cannon (plus the other producers / writers) that they'd got a fifth season, but they'd have to scrap all the original plots & layouts that they'd already planned for over a 22 episode run and instead would need to "reboot" the final season so that it could be closed off in 12 episodes.

That unfortunately explains why S5 was short and why the last ep was pretty poor... Big shame. 1 of the more enjoyable things I've watched in recent years but the ending was lame, really rushed and poorly wrapped up.

I have no real love for most things super hero related (including Marvel, I doubt I shall ever watch Endgame), but I do enjoy this. Good characterisation, decent storylines and script, such a shame they're pulling the plug.
