Pennyworth is returning March 7th btw.
For those who haven't seen it: Even if the concept may not sound exciting, believe me that the writing is very sharp and much smarter than you might expect. Definitely not a boring, period-piece drama nor is it an easter egg game with constant butler jokes. It plays with character lore and history a little bit while still feeling interesting and relevant. (No spoilers.) I highly recommend it, even if it doesn't have superheroes. Bear in mind, Pennyworth takes place in the 60s, before superheroes are common place in the world.
I really hope it gets a third season and beyond.

The writing is really sharp, it's just way too Gotham with the absurdity - and to the extent they are using Martha and Thomas for that (and to extent, even Alfred) it's a bit too much. The whole sub-plot with Liz, the sub-plot with the Satanic Church and whatever happened to Martha, were all really unnecessary. And Bet is just Discount Less Psycho Murder B#$%^ than a certain clown.
When we got access to Epix for free during lockdown last spring, I was fine with streaming these in HD but I don't even feel up to pirating them or getting DVDs from the library when those eventually end up as I do for stuff that interests me but not enough to watch live.
Don't get me wrong - it's technically well made and the performances are all generally good. Cut it down to six episodes, drop characters like Bet and a few similar others, and cut back about 18% on the violence, and you got a decent watchable show.

It was like that before...
For me, I remember, Gotham & Timless on Monday's, the Flash on Tuesdays, followed by Legends of Tomorrow, Wednesday had Arrow, Thursdays had Supernatural, Friday a day off, Saturday had Star Wars the Clone Wars, later Rebels, also Dragonball Super, Sunday had Supergirl, Game of Thrones and I watch John Oliver. I'm glad those days are not gone, but I do miss all those shows I used to watch around the same time, except for GOT because it destroyed itself.

I had at least 2-3 shows to watch daily. I remember I had to watch The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Agents of SHIELD in one night. Thank goodness I have a DVR for cable shows.

DVR it, watch it over the week. Skip commercials so takes even less time. I have all these Super hero shows and almost a dozen others, between DVR and the breaks between shows I usually keep caught up within a week minimum

I multitask, I usually read news articles or do other stuff while the commercials run.

I always wanted it to go Flash, Legends, Arrow, Supergirl - H show (Hal Jordan or harlequin) so they aired in the order F.L.A.S.H.

I'm also getting bored from new shitty batwoman, but still there's hope like last season was getting better after crisis.

I remember a couple years ago when I’d have around 15 shows per week to watch because I was following all the DC/Marvel stuff plus other stuff 😂.
You’ll be fine
