It's a good show, but the redundancies will definitely leave you annoyed at times. Almost every character has been shot, stabbed or poisoned. They either die and come back to life, or they survive with an extremely short recovery time. You can rely on the fact that in almost every episode the following will happen: Alfred will get brutally assaulted, Bruce Wayne will get himself abducted, half the police force will be killed, Jada Pinkett will overact, Jim Gordon will almost die on an unsanctioned solo mission.
