Gave this a go since were looking for shows during the lock-down. It's a bad as you've heard. More about pushing agendas than creating a decent character. So many cringe worthy scenes with awful dialogue. Batwoman sucks.

It's just plain boring. There is nothing wrong with the actor or character choices explicitly. The narrative is just not exciting and doesn't offer anything above other CW shows. It's the same formula, same drama, same everything just with darker lighting on the scenes. The creators clearly didn't have a unique vision of the show, but were "What if we do the same, with the only bat person we can have at the time?" The result is a resounding ... meh.

Instead of letting her prove herself, the CW series clings to mentions of Batman at every turn, making me ask myself "if Batman is so good, why didn't you make a TV show about him?"

Overall, it's hard to see what the show actually did right, because so far story, costume design and acting were extremely subpar, which seems characteristic of CW shows as of late.

The acting is outstanding especially from Rachel Skarsten and Ruby Rose. The stunts are awesome and very well executed. The costumes were stupendous especially the ones that Ruby Rose, Rachel Skarsten, Nicole Kang, and Elizabeth Anweis wore. The makeup and hairstyling was excellent especially on Ruby Rose and Rachel Skarsten. The writing and storylines are superb, I love the alternate Earth sister storyline. An A+ first season to me.

However, the show alters the origin story of the main character to justify her antagonistic stance towardsHaving watched only the two first episodes all I can say is that it is less loaded with gender politics than the trailers showed. However, the show alters the origin story of the main character to justify her antagonistic stance towards Batman. There is no good reason why Batwoman needs to antagonize Batman in order to be her own character, and the original runs of Batwoman in Detective Comics prove it. But then again, you don't need to despise men in order to be a smart, independent woman, which the current progressive thinking seems to ignore. The writing is ok by CW standards, meaning you will need to disconnect your logic and / or common sense to enjoy the show. The acting is all over the place depending on the character. The kids are terrible. Ruby Rose is not bad at all, but some of her lines are simply ridiculous, and I don't think she has the experience to compensate that with a masterful delivery or the power to demand a change to the script. If you are not a fundamentalist from any of the ideological factions making this show their private battlefield, I would recommend watching a couple more episodes. If it becomes heavy-handed with the identity politics, cut your loses and watch something else. Or, if you are interested in the original character, read Detective Comics issues 854 to 863. My understanding is that they are sold together as a graphic novel for 25 bucks, so you don't have to break the bank. And they are good. Expand

While the Arrowverse is generally quite diverse and accepting, those values are sprinkled in and grow in other shows while Batwoman jumps right into the deep end in episode one. This earned accolades from myself and my peers, but from conservatives, this is offputting and makes the show a target. Instead of watching the show and forming an opinion, they don't give it a chance. I myself thought that the show was less political than the trailers implied, though those are of course made tailored to however they want to advertize the show. It is politically correct without being pushy, if you watch the show and not just the trailer or fanboy reviews. It's a shame that more people don't give the show a chance, because the complex relationships are in themselves engaging. Of course, you can expect some family drama with Kate being related to Batman, but her other family members had a few surprises in store. Not just the big one you might expect, but one I didn't see coming from a character I didn't think would get recognition or have much of a role. The show is gaining its footing and learning how to write its characters, and so far they're on the right track to having strong female representation, character development, and relationships that shape the narrative. We need more shows like this. Expand

For these people it is more important to spend time trashing something then to just simply ignore it, which is the normal thing to do with things you do not like.

And now the show.
Like the other DC shows this is good enough to be entertaining.
The main character is likable enough. The actress play the character well enough.
The villans on the other hand is on the weak side, she lacks the things that makes a good or even decend villain, she simple does not look, sound, or act enough like a great villain and that hurts the show.
The side characters are hit and miss. Some fits and act as they should, others are misscase or simple wrote in a poor way.

The writing is okay, not great, not bad, just middle of the line okay.

The political stuff. Yes it is here, then again if you actually know anything at all about comic books you know that this is not something strange. Is it in your face all the time? No, it is not. Actually, when it is there it does not feel forced like the shows trailer would make you think.

In short, after watching 11 episodes more then the 0-1 people: A decent show.

That said, it feels rushed, joyless and by the numbers. Bad numbers. I like Alice and Mary, and the show probably should be exclusively about them, since everyone else is thoroughly uninteresting, including the lead character.

The show has some budget, lots of source material, and a pleasant distance to any expectations. Same as the She-Ra remake. And everything that went well there is missing here. No passion, no sense of adventure, no conflict below the surface, no stakes, nothing to say, no interest to take a risk or do anything except collecting a paycheck.
But if the people making the show obviously don't care - why should I?

And I want to add: It feels a lot like the show tries to compensate its lack in depth by dabbling in really serious topics, like child abuse or mental illness. And my tip is: don't.

All that's left is to arrest Alice, who is getting annoying. I think it will be a shot in the foot if they don't finish her cycle this second season. Let her be arrested, she comes back about three seasons ahead, but now it's not possible anymore. That's my opinion. Expand
