Currently halfway through and I just want to tell everybody already: Go check this out!!!
Edit: Just finished it. It's truly a remarkable series!
Beautiful CGI images, although the keen eye might occasionally spot some glitches and errors, it was truly eye candy most of the time. The story ending feels like the show might be going for some kind of super/genius heroes team, but in a way that really makes you enthusiastic to see what more they are gonna do, after this epic first season story. Looking at the detective arc of the story, I incidentally saw Sherlock-genius schemes forming and was delighted to see this - although I missed much more than I could have thought - all came together in a marvelous way!
Also for the lovers of a good love story there is more than enough to enjoy. Containing numerous twists, brought in throughout the whole storyline. Giving you plenty enough of satisfaction, excitement and anticipation on this area...
There is plenty of more to find out than the above teasers, but then I would be actually spoiling a lot. Those are just some of the many reasons why you should watch it! ;-)
All concluded: A great new sci-fi hero story, with much more up its sleeve than you would expect!
Despite it being slow, I like the show. But come on guys.... Of all character exits in TV-shows, Donna's must be one of the worst, most nonsensical ones EVER. Especially considering there were multiple options before it, that would've made so much more sense. Deathstroke, Connor, even Gar.. Any of them killing Donna would've made more sense than this crap..
ANYONE could've evaded the mast, including Dawn, making Donna her sacrifice unnecessary. Conner, who just regained his control and can withstand more than Donna, could've catched it instead - or even jumped in to take over from Donna before the electricity became fatal. Both Conner and Donna could've saved any retard that didn't move with their super speed, instead of catching the mast. And last of all, she is fucking Wonder Girl and had just (for the first time) finally showed on screen how much she can withstand, in her fight with Conner. So how the hell could she not survive this?
And then I haven't even gone into the Deathstroke part of the episode...
Whoever wrote this (and approved it) should be fired and never be allowed to touch a script again, EVER!!! This just basically threw a big bucket of shit, over the whole season (ending).
After this episode: Never in my life I wished somebody dead as much as Billy Russo... Please let him die before the end of this season!
That was one hell of an emotional rollercoaster
Judging by the cast, the directors (see IMDB), the trailer and the fact it's based on the legendary Phillip K. Dick's shorts, I am so hyped by this!
--Edit after watching episode 1--
The hyped feeling was for a reason..
Keeping in mind there are still 9 episodes to come, all with completely stand-alone stories, so far it seems this might be a new masterpiece! Throughout the whole episode I felt like being swept away by the story. The story was brought to life by a lovable cast, great sets and decor lots of mystery and questions in the storyline to demand your attention and tickle your desire to keep on watching.
As I want to keep this review spoiler free, I can only urge you to watch and be (hopefully) positively surprised, just like I was. I am really looking forward to the next episode with a new story, new cast and new director. If they do a tribute to Philip K. Dick's work as done in the first episode, the next ones are also gonna be really satisfying!
Harry falling in love - I was not prepared for that. Definitely one of the most hilarious things that has happened in this show :joy:
Just the trailer, wow.. So this is what you get, when the copyright of a popular childhood character expires? :thinking:
Since season 1, I've been having the feeling Greg is somehow, at some point, gonna be the ultimate winner (and/or even 'the' successor) of this show. I mean, just look how far he has already gotten from absolutely nowhere. And the fact that Tom brought him in on Logan's good side, at the end of this episode, also only works in his favor! Just hope I am somehow right, really have respect for that dude :smile:
Seeing how my rant about the horrible S02 finale became top comment for that episode, I'm now very glad to write that the quality of the first 3 episodes of S03 is an enormous improvement!
Yes, like always, there are some flaws (I mean How could Hank not see that trap coming from miles away). But overall, since that S02 disaster it has continued much, much, much better than I had hoped beforehand.
Hope they keep this quality up for the rest of the season!
For a moment, I was afraid the animals in the credits were gonna explode :scream:

Quite gonna miss this show, but has been a great ride!
Much, much better than the previous crossover, which was a disaster in my opinion.. Still often spit on it with my friends, during DC TV shows discussions for real, haha.
Actually noticed I felt a little excited by the Fall 2019 continuation announcement at the end of the episode!
Cause I'm currently to lazy to write a detailed, serious opinion about this show, I am just gonna keep it to the following: I just love how some moments in the show just make you feel like "What the fudge?" in such a satisfying way!
I liked most of the show, even though some episodes were a bit 'meh'. But this season finale was just horrible... I skipped half of it, because it was so cliche, badly acted, predictable and just not in any way entertaining thanks to all this stuff...
Also, who the f*** thought it was a good idea to cast James Remar for one of the main side-characters? Throughout the season his acting has been the worst of all actors by far.
Beautiful end of the show! Great respect for how the cast was able to stay so cool in the (beautiful) final shot of the episode, must've been an emotional moment knowing its the last one (at least, I'd think they shot it last also?). Would love to see the on-set footage from right after that cut, where that emotion must've come out.
Must've been my favorite episode so far!
F**k Ethan!
Genious episode. At some point the ending might have become predictable, but nevertheless I loved it a lot.
This sounds like they are gonna broadcast (edited versions of) the original first episodes? From what I've understood, this show was written with the assumption Hillary would win and were forced to do a lot of last-minute re-shoots, when the 'unexpected' happend. Ever since they've been obviously bashing the ridicule of Trump his time as president: season 2's episode titles are the (ridiculous amount of) number of days Trump was in office, on the day of broadcast.
Even though the ending was waaay to cheesy, I still say: #KillTheCripple :angry:
Love how Carly is like: You just wait.. At some point, I'm gonna pull that naughty doctor out of you, my dear Shaun:smirk:
6.5/10
Overall not a too bad adaptation in my opinion. Quite decent CGI (most of the time), especially considering everything was shot inside studios. And the action was quite pleasing too. The script writing/directing doesn't seem to have been too bad either.
Could have mostly done with a stronger cast. And knowing the original story, I think season 1 could have used a few more episodes to give more time for better, more in-depth storytelling. It now sometimes felt like they were really trying to rush through everything, at the cost of some of the charm and fun/interesting details the original story and characters have.
Wasn't so bad that I disliked it. Might even watch season 2.
Especially during the final seconds, I was really thinking: Poor mom... xD
Has this episode been rescheduled or something? Can't find any sign it has been actually broadcasted, even though IMDB also has the same airing date.
No- NO- NOOOOO!! Don't do it!
