    Finished S2018-2019. My thoughts,

    Arrow: Irredeemably garbage. Such a horrible watch. These characters are such awful people. Katherine McNamara is really cute though.

    The Flash: Okay. The new Wells was great, as was a certain returning character.

    Supergirl: Surprisingly the highlight this time around, with two villains introduced who totally steal the show. Outside of those characters, the show was okay.

    Legends of Tomorrow: Had the best scene EVER and some real good final moments. The rest of the show was okay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upyQhN4dpYU

    okay.

    After Crisis on Infinite Earths, I should really drop this series.

    Every time I watch the Arrowverse, I get to Arrow and start regretting everything. Sure, Supergirl's not very good. Flash varies in quality but generally leans towards being watchable. Legends of Tomorrow is alright, sometimes even great. But Arrow, oh god, fuck me, Arrow's one of the worst things I've ever seen and I shouldn't be forcing myself to suffer just so I can be caught up for this Crisis on Infinite Earths event. I've made so many mistakes.

    Okay. I typed that paragraph and hunted down a Netflix speed control extension. It's gonna be alright.
    I wonder if I'll miss out on much if I just watch the other shows and skip Arrow.

      Editing … The Flash might overall be my favorite Arrowverse series. Most seasons start off really weak, but improve once they get into their main storyline, at which point the characters and humor start to shine more. Legends of Tomorrow tends to be a fun romp.

      Editing … Supergirl though, I'm finding that show to be morally dubious at best. Arrests powered and extraterrestrial individuals and detains them in solitary confinement within a black site run by an agency that stages its arrests under the pretense of being FBI? That's shady as all fuck. I doubt these prisoners have been charged or had a single one of their legal rights respected. She's also displayed a great capacity for petty cruelty (to humor the audience, or to display the power disparity?) and uses excessive force to deal with smaller threats.

      Editing … Isn't that the same as Superman though? He works with dubious authorities too. Maybe it's a Kryptonian thing. I prefer the vigilantes. They at least know the system is corrupt.

    I'm onto series 2 of Arrow and I've just bought the first series of Flash, so I think it's safe to say I'm invested now. The story/acting i
    Arrow is delightfully silly and the twists at the end of each episode are a lot of fun. My wife has gone from half-watching it over my shoulder to actively asking to watch the next episode, so it looks like we will be taking our trip through the Arrowverse together. Hopefully it can keep us hooked.

    this Arrow choreography is so slow and stiff, but they figured if they swing the camera around enough, maybe it'll still look intense

    the child actors in all these The Flashback scenes are AWFUL
    why are there like
    less than ten good child actors in the history of media

    why are childhood The Flashbacks in all these superhero shows GARBAGE
    except for the Poindexter ones
    and like, one or two Murdock scenes (the rest blow)

    For some reason this TV universe idea still sounds so novel to me, even though the MCU, DCEU, and XMCU are all doing the very same thing. Something about being purely TV. It amazes me.
    Still watching through the MCU shows right now.

      Editing … You'd think so but no, different TV networks, different universes. They cheated and had a Flash/Supergirl crossover anyway though. Spoiler Turns out Flash can run so fast he ends up in a different universe.
