    They have double listed this as both Batwoman and Batwoman: Season 1 for some reason. The show is pure mediocrity with poor writing, directing, acting, and plot. The misandry is palpable, but seems to be in-line with Supergirl and what they turned The Flash into.

    OK...It's...not too bad as everyone's saying, but it does have MANY flaws. Some acting is poor, the story is also fairly one-dimensional compared to the other CW DC shows, and yes, there is a good deal of feminism. It's still pretty action-packed and we got a fairly interesting approach to a main villain. I do hope this gets better throughout the rest of the season. (Review posted October 6th)

    As a lesbian who respects herself, i have to say i have been a fan of Batwoman since the early 2000s. This TV series version could have been so much more but it's hurting me to say, it failed me. I was expecting at least some of the darkness and the controversy of the comic character. Nope. I didnt feel it.

    I was super-excited with Ruby Rose when i read she was picked. Turns out she has a pretty face, a badass look but she doesnt convince me with her acting. There is something missing.
    So now I'm stuck; on the one hand i dont want the show to get cut off coz of the terrible reviews (including mine) thus its rare to actually get a lesbian leading character and a superhero. On the other hand, i find myself not eager to see the next episode.    … Expand

    Everyone involved, of course, might fare better if they had a decent script, proper lighting, well-choreographed fight scenes and sets that didn’t look as if they had been nailed together from whatever was left after Michael Keaton left the building in 1989. ... For now, though, pure and perfect trash is what we need – and Batwoman provides.

    The show doesn’t seem to know how to handle Bruce’s absence, so he’s mentioned at every turn, making Kate feel less like a person with her own story than someone grafted onto his. ... The visual palette is all muddled grays or treacly, warmly lit flashbacks. The fight scenes lack tension and dynamism, relying on quick cuts and multiple angles to manufacture a false sense of energy. There’s also a missing spark of chemistry among the cast.

    Batwoman has a welcome amount of openness and information sharing from the get-go. The series also does surprisingly well with establishing several key supporting characters. ... Around Kate Kane and Rose, there's a question mark. The camera is intrigued, gravitating toward her angular features, spiky hair and convincing swagger. I'm not sure she's as good at conveying the required authority or enigmatic mystery.
