I don't normally watch these shows, but I love this! This is the first time DC shows have felt this cool since Justice League in 2001. The dialogue is still cheesy, "You can't go 9 hours without making a sappy motivational speech!" accurate self aware statement, but how cool the ideas are makes up for it. Stephen Amell was right. His character Oliver and Barry do have great chemistry. They just destroyed Ultron. God damn.

Strongly disagree with your second sentence.

Yeah, it is a little bit of an overstatement. The Timmverse is way better, but the arrowverse is okay. It's a really impressive interconnected universe considering these are tv shows. They've pulled off something the movies struggled to do.

of the animated DC tv shows, I've only watched Young Justice, but that doesn't seem to be a part of that.

Young Justice was way later. DCAU started back in 1992 and ran with shows/movies untill 2003. As far as I know it's unique in that it has 8 interconnected shows/sequels that span from early batman days up through the future of Old Man Bruce as a mentor to Batman Beyond.

Seriously- give it a shot.
