Finding Carter is a television series about a girl who was kidnapped at the age of three, and tricked to believe that her kidnapper was her mother. Carter had been reckless with her friends and was arrested by the police. They were all taken to jail and put in a cell to wait for their parents. Carter was there over night and was awoken only to be told that the woman she thought was her mother, was not her mother at all. This television show holds suspense and truth, and is a beautiful representation of how pain can affect a teenager’s life.

Gotham

This show aired on September 22 on FOX. It has so far received many positive reviews:

 

“If future entries are more like the latter, better parts of the show... then it's going to be a must-see for anyone who likes Batman and superhero media.” Mark Hughes-Forbes

 

“Sure, cramming six villains into a single pilot is a bit much, and three of the six are glorified cameos, but Gotham has me chomping at my own fingers to see what happens next week. And that's the point of a pilot, isn't it?” Adam Bellotto-Film School Rejects

In hearing the word Gotham you may immediately think of Batman, right? Well, for anyone who likes Batman this show is for you. This TV series was conceived to tell the story of James Gordon on his early days on the Gotham City police force. This show will not only include Bruce Wayne’s character, but it will also tell the origin stories of several villains that appeared on Batman. The first season will consist of 16 episodes.

 

The “Pilot” gave the audience some riveting content and kept us wanting more. There are high hopes for this show to be great. Let’s hope it can live up to its expectations.
