Is this show getting any better?

I'm curious to know how all these iconic villains and heroes will be handled in future seasons. But let's just say that I'm not impressed at all so far. The acting is atrocious, and the writing is just as equally bad (for example, too many backstories are rewritten in order to further whatever agendas). And the show seem to be taking itself so seriously, without having anything to back it up, that it simply annoys me most of the time. Personally, I'm sick of all these 2010s shows, using the procedural format excuse to not get the story moving forward faster. In Gotham's case, it's something we could've done without. And, I know it's a show centered around a corrupt city, but exactly how am I supposed to care about any of the lead characters? « The blind fortune teller », was the first season of Gotham mastering its flawed writing, with a murder mystery so pointless it made the Joker's reveal look even more ridiculous. And a bunch of dialogues that are so laughable, you wonder if you're not watching a parody. Aside from that, Fish and Penguin overcome new obstacles (like we would expect otherwise...), while Selina, Ivy and Barbara are squatting Jim's house for no apparent reasons but to amuse fans... To think everything Batman will fight against, is practically his fault, makes this even more pathetic. On a different note, I also hope Bruce Wayne will improve as well, because I don't want another « Dark Knight ». But maybe I'm just bound to hate everything about this series.
