When stuff like The Mindy Project and New Girl(which I do watch to be fair, but I wouldn’t be devastated if it was cancelled) are still going strong, why does Selfie get tossed aside? For the past 3 seasons of new TV, every comedy I have grown attached to, they have cancelled. Two by NBC, Go On in 2012-2013 and The Crazy Ones in 2013-2014, and now Selfie, cancelled by ABC. Why do I always like the doomed ones? I’m the same picking characters to root for, usually they don’t get the girl/fail in their mission.) Why couldn’t I like the popular ones? I’m lucky Community has got to 6 seasons, hell, it was almost cancelled once, the officially cancelled, but then resurrected, so I can be grateful for that at least. But for the past 3 seasons… all my favourites…

Autumn season US TV 2014 – Gotham & Scorpion – Better than expected
September 30, 2014
Decided to try out Gotham because, why not? New season TV is always worth checking out. And cos comic book.
Design wise, Gotham reminds me of the 90’s Batman cartoon. The layout of the police HQ would be insane in real life, but it looks really cool. They seem to be using the same filters as CSI New York. Which makes sense as Gotham basically looks like New York but with some gothic looking buildings added to the landscape.
The overall feel/mise-en-scene of the show is something similar to Sin City. Scuzzy, grey, suspect and questionable characters populate the city. With the one shining beacon of hope that is Jim Gordon. Who wants to solve the murder of the Waynes. And since the police system is corrupt and owned by gangsters and whatnot, he has to do that on the down-low.
Below is a shot of the Scorpion team with Robert Patrick.
