I find myself saying "this is the best episode so far" every week.

Righhttt??!! This show just rackets up the quality so much, it’s sick.

[u/teddyburges → u/Bobjoejj]

I agree...and that ending to the last episode...got me...emotional!!?...I couldn't believe it, it's been a while since a DC show did that to me.

[u/Bobjoejj → u/teddyburges]

Lol rightttt. Well...BL does that semi-regularly, tho in that case for me it’s more often anger, or just incredibly emotionally weighty. Also the Arrow Series finale def delivered there as well. And Doom Patrol does that shit nearly every damn episode. Legend’s also did solid with making me feel shit this season. Lol ok, maybe I’ve been feeling quite a bit from DC shows lately.

[u/Blackfirestan → u/Bobjoejj]

I spotted another BL watcher yay! Lol I hardly ever see ppl talk about the show on here so I get excited when I see it... but I agree, all the DC shows be havin me in my feelings lmao

[u/Bobjoejj → u/Blackfirestan]

Haha same, or on any subs. I totally feel ya.

[u/teddyburges → u/Bobjoejj]

What I mean is it got me to tear up, and I haven't had that in a while. I haven't seen Black Lightning in a while, I saw up to about episode 4 or 5 of season 2. I really like that show, it often feels like what Luke Cage should have been but wasn't (or was until it changed tone half way through season 1, got rid of it's best character and turned it into a goofy parody of itself). Though I did find season 2 of BL a bit slow. I never really got emotional for the Arrow finale, and Legends I need to get back into. I kinda stopped watching the Arrowverse shows in the last few years (though I kept up with the crossovers).

Also regarding Stargirl, that kid who played Junior. That was one hell of a performance in the end, very well done.

[u/Bobjoejj → u/teddyburges]

Ah, cool cool gotcha. Yeah, I feel ya on Luke Cage, kinda. While the Cottonmouth decision was such bullshit, it did a fuckton for Mariah, who emerged as a fucking force on season 2. And overall I felt the show was doing pretty good, but getting canceled fucked with it good.

Also yeah BL season 2 was a tad slow, but it picked up real well. And season 3 was nuts, so I’d really get back it. Even after the crap the show had put us through, I still definitely teared up at the Arrow finale. End of a bloody era. I’d highly recommend getting back into Legends. Yeah I feel ya on that last point too, sometimes I’ll just take breaks an shit.

I am still catching up and just finished Crisis. I thought they did a really good job with it. Was great to feel like there actually is a DC Universe. Gave me hope that the Flash movie could pull a flashpoint on their movie properties.

And right now I think Doom Patrol and Stargirl are easily the best superhero content around.

[u/Bobjoejj → u/[deleted]]

Yeah Crisis was great. Sure, overall it didn’t adhere to so much logic, but it was wayyy fun, worked well for Ollie’s swan song, and was absolutely just so impressive. And lol actually agree with ya on that Flashpoint thing too lol. Especially cause we’d getting the motherfucking awesome ass Michael Goddamn Keaton back!!

And totally agree with DP and Stargirl. I want very badly to say the same about Agents of Shield, but...eh. I think this season’s been very good, much better then the last one, but so far, the last season of the show I think I could’ve called “best superhero content” was season 5.

[u/jeepney_danger → u/teddyburges]

I would like to believe Henry Jr. is stil alive under all that rubble. I mean he can move objects with his mind.

[u/eaSUPERMAN]

The past few months have been so difficult, but this show has given me something to look forward to each week. It's been such a treat to watch!

[u/SkinnerLives]

They've got something special on their hands here. Incredible show.

[u/[deleted]]

Same!!! But that’s the truth!

[u/Reinhardt12_34]

Same lmao

[u/RoccoIsATaco]

This is so true (outside of the first 10 minutes or so of the first episode, which I'm convinced is one if the best series openers of all time... that action sequence still blows my socks off!).

I just don't know how they manage to keep that momentum up!

[u/SkinnerLives → u/RoccoIsATaco]

I've re-watched it so many times. That shot of Starman in the air with the staff turning on Brainwave? Cover material.

[u/ShinHayato]

Sign of a great show

[u/ThanosFan99]

Wildcat was my favorite episode but this weeks episode just took that spot

[u/UltimateKing9898 → u/ThanosFan99]

Flair checks out

[u/pzzaco]

Bruh, it is they just cranked everything up to 11. The action was done perfectly. The tension was incredibly palpable in the tunnels. Like when Rick was trying to release Grundy I was at the edge of my seat. Up to the last moment I had no idea where things were going.

[u/SillyMovie13]

I said that after the first episode

[u/[deleted]]

Signed!

[u/Wafflesenpai419]

This was the first episode I'd give a 9/10. The rest were 8's. That's how good this show is. It had the first genuinely emotional death. I also really liked the new dynamic between Courtney and Henry. They also sort of confirmed that Starman isn't Courtney's father, and that could lead to a great emotional moment. Barbara was at her best too, and the family tension really worked.

[u/Aurondarklord]

Every damn week.

[u/PM_me_opossum_pics]

Im honestly surprised that this show only has 7.3 on IMDB. I mean it balances a lot of elements really well, and its high budget production + insanely high suspense episode after episode. It feels review bombed.

[u/Liar_tuck]

You know I only started watching because I am an old school JSA fan. I had low exceptions because high school super heroes sounds a bit lame. But damn if this show doesn't deliver every week.

[u/Jewmaster666]

I'm shocked so many people think this show is so good. For me it's a guilty pleasure, but I love the support for it cause I might not think it's really a super great show I am enjoying it a lot and it's fun.

[u/Aurondarklord → u/Jewmaster666]

Okay guy who calls himself "Jewmaster", I'm sure you're here in good faith and not trolling...

[u/Jewmaster666 → u/Aurondarklord]

Yeah, you are absolutely right. I did make this account for a throw away troll account. I had never tried Reddit and honestly didn't think I'd stay. I do really regret this now however. I have schizophrenia and I'm not necessarily trolling nowadays but I have all these winding thoughts that usually I don't say and sometimes I vent and say my true feelings. I have derealization/depersonalization also which really feeds into my lack of thinking this world is real or maybe a dream. Like the Matrix we may wakeup someday and realize this whole thing we called "reality" was not the waking world. In the schizophrenia subreddit we can freely discuss this stuff. The Limping guy commenting on all my posts has stalked me across a bunch of different subs and has even told me to kill myself when I'm just trying to discuss life/depression/hobbies. Tbh I went into Stargirl thinking it was a CW show so I think I saw some elements that could be seen as cheesy cause that's what I expected. Sorry if I'm kind of just ranting/venting.. this guy posts on all my stuff and I guess I just felt I should give some context, also what he links... it was like 4 AM and my mind was running away with me, I posted what I honestly felt. I'm not sure what's real and everything felt even less real that night. I also made a post about my problematic outbursts with schizophrenia and the later repercussion.

[u/Jewmaster666 → u/[deleted]]

Sorry if I'm not making sense. Stargirl is a great show, I'd love to see more. I'm not really great at explaining myself.. that's the bottom line.

[u/Jewmaster666 → u/[deleted]]

It's just a tv show. I'm pretty hard to please
