Why is Gotham Ending?

via IFTTT Why Gotham is being Cancelled after Season 5 - My Thoughts! Alright what's going on guys it's Trev back again here to bring you another video. In this one we will be giving our thoughts on why we think Gotham is ending or is being cancelled after Season 5. Personally I think the main reason why Gotham is being cancelled is basically the decline in the ratings, each season down to the point where season 4 will end at around 2Million US viewers per episode. For Fox this is a pretty low. Especially considering the series started at around 7 - 8 Million viewers per episode. I think the genre of Gotham is really what confused the audience most. There are some episodes in Gotham that are super dark, bordering on thriller\horror territory. Then there are others that are silly, happy, and light. I don't think you can really mix these genres and have it work well. You kind of need to go for either that older audience which likes the dark and edgy content or you have to go for the lighter sort of more PG friendly audience. I don't think you can really mix the two the way they tried to. Having a young bruce wayne instead of Batman is part of this I feel. The audience really probably just wanted to see Batman. Now that may be a bit tricky with licensing and the movies using the character at the same time but it appears doing it this way really didn't work. As always, thanks for watching everyone, be sure to leave a comment below letting me know why you think Gotham didn't work. - Trev Trevschan2
