Arrow Season 3, Flash Season 3, Supergirl Season 3. What do all these seasons have in common? They’re all poor examples of the show, and denote a really big downturn in quality. Yep, Supergirl Season 3 actually makes the exact same mistake as Flash’s third season by dropping the humour and superheroics in favour of angst and family drama, except this time it doesn’t haven’t have some of the good episodes thrown in. Let’s take an overall look then…
Supergirl’s third seasons comes to a disappointing end, with a particularly bad finale. It’s a real shame because the first third really showed promise for an interesting season ahead, but sadly it kept the theme of melodrama and angst and focused less and less about the super powers and… well, superheroics, until we got to this… *sigh* Let’s take a look, then…
Last year I voted Legion as my favourite series of the year, and although Season 2 didn’t quite hit the same heights (probably the old “coming in with expectations rather than being taken by surprise” aspect) it did have some brilliant story telling again, plus the final episode blew me away, with an amazing opening sequence and a great cliffhanger. Let’s take a closer look then!
Luke Cage’s first season was part good, part dull, so fingers crossed Season 2 learns from past mistakes. So far I can say it’s been good, but with a few flaws, which is how Season 1 started! Anyway, while it’s far from perfect, it has some good action, good humour, good drama and sets up the new big villain really well. That’s a good start to a season! Let’s take a look…
I took my time getting around to this Netflix series as it didn’t immediatly appeal, admittedly my knowledge of Lost in Space is limited to the Matt LeBlanc film from the 90s, so… Not really a surprise I didn’t jump straight in! Anyway, I ended up really enjoying the series! It took its time to get going, that’s for sure, but it really picked up in the latter stages and prooved itself worthy of a second season. So let’s take a closer look then!
Agents of SHIELD return to the present in order to stop the apocalypse in this middle chapter of Season 5, with some elements of their time in the future coming along with them. As the middle it does its job of setting up the end, and it also gives us plenty of good story moments too, including a twist with Fitz that was particualry great TV. So let’s have a deeper look into it, shall we?
Based on marketing and my vague knowledge of the original comic, I wasn’t sure I’d like Runaways that much, but I was happy to be wrong! The teen drama is actually toned down quite a bit, and more emphasis is put on the parents and their plight than the comics (again, from what I hear). All that and the lead characters themselves are all really well acted and realised! Who would have guessed? Let’s take a closer look at the debut season overall then, shall we?
Arrow Season Six is an odd one. On the one hand it had better pacing thanks to changing the lead antagonist half-way through, but on the other hand it still made several of the same mistakes they always seem to do… Well, lets take an overall look at the season, and see how the quality balances out…
Arrow Season 6 comes to a close with a good batch of episodes. Although the cliffhanger was extremely predictable, there was at least one thing that caught me off guard. So let’s take a look at the final five of Season Six!
The Flash season 4 had a very different feel to it thanks to the lead antagonist not being a speedster. The Thinker was a definite highlight, though credit also has to go to new side-character Ralph Dibny / The Elongated Man as well, who was a constant highlight himself. Either way, although it wasn’t perfect, it was a good season, with a tight direction and a fresher feeling. Let’s take an overall look!
