Honestly, I agree with this article from The Agony Booth, which basically says the show might be good if it WAS just a police procedural that happens to be set in Gotham, but, to quote:

"Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be what they’re going for here. Rather than simply tell the story of Jim Gordon fighting the growing criminal influence in Gotham City, it appears they’re going to load the show up with all sorts of winks and nods to the Batman mythos.
[...]
It feels a bit like the producers of Gotham are already terrified that if they don’t constantly reference Batman in some way, people will get bored. What may end up being this show’s downfall is not the fact that it’s a Batman series without Batman, but rather that it’s a prequel series. And prequels seem obliged to lay it on thick when it comes to referencing established aspects of the franchise."

Emphasis added, because, yeah, that's one of the things that bugs me about prequels.

And, yes, most of my reply is quoting someone else, but they said it so much better than I could...
