Arrow was legitimately good for its first three seasons or so. It wasn't Sopranos or anything, but it was an enjoyable show to catch every week. It was riding the Nolan train of "gritty realism", but it pulled it off. After the fourth season with... magic... dark ...man(?) I gave up. Flash I dropped even faster, and that was during the height of my "must consooooom all the superhero media" phase. AoS started off weak, bot really good Post-TWS, and then started fizzling out with the Inhuman stuff. The only worthwhile thing was Kyle MacLachlan. After that it bounced back, and the AI HYDRA Arc was great, but I dropped it after that too. Looking back, I wouldn't say that they were hours well spent, but S1,2,3 of Arrow were not a total waste.
As for the recent stuff, I caught a clip of Supergirl on those ads. I seriously don't understand how those "actors" have any dignity left at this point. How can they muster up the courage to get up everyday, dress up in pajamas, pretend to fight CGI toy robots while throwing "badass quips" around, and then, after all is said and done have any self-respect left. Sure, even the Capeflicks are ridiculous, but at least they make bank. Playing in Procedurals is more dignified than tv cape****.
...You know what, maybe they're better actors than I give them credit for. Who maintains character when this constitutes filming?
