Batwoman

I wanted to like this. I've seen all the DC shows in the last few years but this is one I can't continue even if I was paid too.

3/10 is being VERY generous.

The screenplay alone is TERRIBLE. Characters aren't relatable at all, not to mention the acting is very sub-par. Once you get deeper into the first ep things become so predictable.

I'm all for inclusiveness but its 2019 and this show trys to go all out with straight, bi, lesbian relationships.. and somehow misses the mark on every level. Almost nobody seems to be pleased at all, which is very telling.

Ruby can do her own stunts and get injured all she wants. The action doesn't make up for the rest unfortunately.

Just watch it if you must but be prepared to want an hour of your life back!

She is a biker lesbian with short hair, Ramones t-shirt and possible anger issues. Could they have put anymore stereotypes into one character? I felt like they drop you into the middle of a story. There is so much back story about her family, her ex-girlfriend, her personal life, Bruce Wayne/Batman and Gotham that isn't discussed. Not to mention that security guard seems to know a little too much.

Bottom line the storyline felt rushed and the character seems to be a walking lesbian stereotype from the 80s. As a huge Batman fan I was excited to see this as a member of the LGBT community I'm concerned where it is going to head when it opens with a lesbian character defined by such close-minded stereotypes. Hopefully it joins us in the 21st century where a women knowing martial arts and ridding a motorcycle doesn't make her a lesbian.

God this show is so awful. Its plot is a broken mess, the acting is horrendous, and the dialogue is so painfully bad that it sounds like crap my friends would say drunk. I feel like a sugar-high kid picking out all sorts of sweets from a candy shop when it comes to how often I find flaws in the special effects and editing. They're novice-level mistakes that are highly noticeable even during your first viewing - as if you'd make yourself sit through this more than once. But if you're really curious to see how terrible it truly is, it's the most entertaining to watch with friends at 3 am to commentate with. I definitely wouldn't have made it out of this experience losing only half my brain cells without my buddies. I'm so sorry to anyone who genuinely wanted this series to be good, but this trash was destined to fail from the moment I saw the first trailer.

I made it about 1/3 the way thru the 1st season.

The cast was good. The sets and costumes were good. The writing was awful. I mean bottom of the barrel, looking up at horrible bad writing.

I was not surprised when Ruby Rose left.

I was surprised they tried for season 2.

I liked this at first. I enjoyed the visuals, the family story line, the acting (particularly that of Skarsten and Rose), and the whole idea of Bruce Wayne's female cousin finding the cave and taking over in his absence. The effort was there.

Unfortunately, the lack of logic kept pulling me out of the story, as the writers had to make their heroes conveniently stupid in order to keep the antagonist on the run. Without getting specific, I often found myself asking, "Why don't the heroes just bring the villainess to justice RIGHT NOW?" Instead, the protagonists waste time talking to her, letting her bait them, or backing down when they don't have to.

Even worse, Batwoman goes easy on the villiainess for personal reasons, putting selfishness ahead of public safety. How in the world is the audience supposed to root for a hero who does that?

Not recommended.
