The Fourth Season of Legends of Tomorrow had some genuinely funny and dramatic bits, and benefitted greatly from the inclusion of John Constantine, but it did suffer from some clunker episodes and Gary the funny nerd character became far too over-exposed by the end. More good than bad overall? Well, read on and find out!
The second half of Legends of Tomorrow’s fourth season was much like its first: mostly fun and light-hearted, with a bit of drama here and there, but a lot of the jokes failed to land with me, unlike the previous seasons. Still, more good than bad, so let’s take a look at it!
Arrow’s penultimate season was a mixed bag, but in my opinion definitely swung more towards good in the end. It actually felt like it wrapped the whole show up neatly, leading very little for it to do in its shortened final season at the end of the year… so let’s take a look then, shall we?
Arrow’s seventh season comes a wobbly end, but ultimately a good end. In fact the finale feels very much like an overall series finale, which given Season 8 is not only the last season, but only 10 episodes, it probably for all intents and purposes is the big ending. So let’s have a look at the build up to this grand finale, and see how much of it actually worked…
The Flash is back for a fifth season, but sadly one that was far more scattered and less focused than Season 4, which I really enjoyed (but not many others did, seemingly). There were some highlights, but a lot of… lowlights? (is that a thing?) So let’s take a deeper look at the overall season…
The Flash’s fifth season’s second half (I’m sure there’s a better way of writing that…) has been and gone, and once again it had some good moments, and some bafflingly written moments… Let’s take a look!
Legends of Tomorrow was, in my opinion, the best of the four Arrowverse seasons from last year, being as funny as it was entertaining and occasionally dramatic, and while they definitely leaned in too hard on the humour so far, Season 4 still offers up a fun mix of time travel antics and fun character interactions. Let’s have a closer look!
The 2018 Arrowverse crossover was a different kind of beast than the previous two, being less focused on all-out action between teams of people, and more interested in doing three things: explore the psyche of Barry and Oliver, create a backdoor pilot for a Batwoman series, and set things up for 2019’s big crossover. It does all these things well, but it also makes for a less interesting crossover, especially as I’ve had my fill of “evil” versions of the established cast…Let’s take a look, anyway!
Arrow’s seventh season starts off in familiar fashion to previous Arrowverse storylines, though unlike when Flash put their lead behind bars at the start of the year, this time it actually felt like it matters (and it was for more than two episodes…) It created a more unique atmosphere, when combined with an interesting flashforward rather than the usual flashback, it makes this season at least get off to a more interesting start than a lot of previous efforts…
Supergirl Season 4 kicks off with a rather on-the-nose look at racism and nationalism in our current society by transplanting aliens as the new foreign menace that are stealing people’s jobs and can’t be trusted etc. It’s all rather dull, and in my case (and hopefully yours too!), it’s preaching to the choir and taking a lot of the reality-escaping fun away from the show… So, yeah. Let’s take a closer look!
