I have written ad nauseum about not understanding the allure of Fox’s new hit show “Gotham.” I still don’t understand it. But it’s not up to me to know why “Gotham” was picked as a contender this fall season. Fox believes in it, and that’s all that matters. They believe in it so much that they have given it a full season order.

The Hollywood Reporter has stated that Fox has granted “Gotham” an additional six episodes, resulting in the full season order. The site states that “Gotham” had a 6.0 rating among adults in the coveted 18-49 age range after factoring in viewing habits during its live premiere and seven days of delayed viewing, making it the hot ticket for Monday nights.

“Gotham debuted as one of the most buzzed-about shows of the fall with good reason,” said Dana Walden and Gary Newman, Fox Television Group chairmen and CEOs. The two described the show’s world, storyline and characters as the reasons for the show’s success.

“Gotham” is also the third new series to get a full season order this season, with ABC’s “Black-ish” and “How to Get Away with Murder” getting their orders recently. It’s also the first one for Fox this season.

What do you think about “Gotham”? If you love the show, what makes it for you? If you someone who still hasn’t gotten on the “Gotham” bandwagon, why are you resisting? Give your opinions in the comments section below.
