Good tv show but a little slow. Nice plot and cast.

It is really interesting and I'm here for the queer representation in the character

Classic CW show that was good for the first season and really falls off the edge after that.

It was enjoyable for a little bit then I stopped watching. Such a typical cw show in so many ways.

My good rating is just for the 1st season after that it got boring and I didn't like the way they used the villain painkiller
Grizzly

It was good but then it got really slow and boring.
Martin

Gets a bit soapy, but overall it is a decent show with a strong potential for a social commentary.

I hate the characters, and the show is boring. The villain is overacting, the hero doesn't seem to care anymore, and his kids are annoying.
Death

Good superhero show, but it has the DC cliché of becoming a soap opera after a few episodes
Addie

Was very excited to watch a diverse show with great actors, but it didn’t keep me interested. The storyline fell flat very quickly.
