Are you going to watch Arrowverse/CW shows when they come back?

So we've gone a long time without Arrowverse/CW shows and they are coming back soon. Due to this, I was curious, are you going to come back to these shows? I'm not sure as they have really dipped in quality over the years. Also, shows like Stargirl, Wandavision have been superhero shows done well and kinda spoiled me, so I'm not sure if I can handle the CW/Arrowverse bad and stupid writing again. Its looking like a pass from me, but how about for you guys?

No. I bowed out a few years ago and don't plan to come back.

I will, however, watch the annual crossovers.

Only the first season of Flash was stellar out of all those ones. I might leave them on in the background sometimes, or watch the novelty of the crossover next year.

I'm out. I miss the Legends so maybe one day I will come back and just watch those.

Time is at a premium in my life now so if we are averaging 1 MCU / week that may just take up most of my TV time.

Legends of Tomorrow is the only thing I still look forward to from the Arrowverse shows since it's actually original and insane.

The bar for comic book TV shows is so much higher today, I don't think I'll ever go back to the Arrowverse.

For lovers
Always in for Legends and I like CW Supes so I'll be giving Superman & Lois a shot.

Rest I could care less about.

Legends and probably the new season (continuation?) of Flash.

Just Flash and Legends. I'll probably start Black Lightning after it finishes its run.

I usually binge a 'season' of all the shows every once in awhile. I'm a year behind now, and although I liked the shows I cant say I'm sad to see Supergirl and Black Lightning coming to an end

Nah, pretty burned out on comic book stuff. Especially shared universes where there are way to many schlocky shows.

Only interested in Legends of Tomorrow at this point. I'm burned out on the formula for these shows.

Edit: I'm willing to give Superman & Lois a chance.

Ya, I've stuck around this long, might as well see them through. Still really enjoy the characters on Supergirl and Batwoman even if the shows are inconsistent at best. Superman & Lois looks interesting. Flash... well, its been a few years since I really dug it but last season was better than the couple before it I suppose.

I mean I'll likely watch The Flash again but it seriously needs to get a move on. Last season moved so damn slow that the irony cannot be ignored the show is about the fastest man alive.

I don't have much else to watch live besides it. Might as well continue the ride till the end.

Probably not. I haven't seriously watched them for a few years...I think Black Lightning S1 was the last time I was invested. However, I really liked Stargirl so ill keep an eye out for that show.

Maybe The Flash just so I can get some sort of conclusion from this upcoming season (hopefully).

I was planning on dropping The Flash after Arrow ended last year but the season was unable to finish so I couldn't drop it.

I don't watch any of the other shows. Too much of a time sink.

I loved them, but too much shows and not enough time. I'd watch them in a heartbeat if they cut about half the episodes per a season

Yeah, I was keeping up with Arrow and Flash for a while.

Then Legends of Tomorrow came out and when I finally tried catching up it just got way too much.

Furthest I got in Flash was the season with the genius villain, furthest I got in Legends was the Billy Zane circus episode, and furthest I got in Arrow... I can't even remember. He became mayor I think.

Dropped the CW shows a few years back. I will binge the Legends and Flash some day though. Especially since John Constantine joined the team. I quit Flash with S04E01. I did check out Batwoman S2E1 and it was interesting enough (haven't and won't see the first season) for me to probably check out the second episode. But yes, generally I'm done with the Arrowverse.

It's still early but Batwoman is better this season without Ruby Rose.

I'm not particularly excited about The Flash this season. The new characters promoted to series regular aren't great, and it sucks Dibny is gone because his actor had to be a Twitter edgelord.

But Batwoman's been fine so far this season, I have no reason to be down on Legends or BL, and I'm excited for more Super Hoechlin. Hopefully the advance knowledge of Supergirl ending will give that show a quality boost too.

Yeah, I'm not going to stop now.


I binge them though. I can't imagine watching them week to week.

I'm curious about the Superman and Lois show. I liked the take on those characters during Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Don't really care about any of the others, and haven't for some time. My wife watches them and I mostly watched Crisis out of curiosity.

Probably just Stargirl, Legends, and Black Lightning, the rest probably in the background. Really burned out on the other shows mostly due to their big episode counts per season.

I really enjoyed Arrow for the first two seasons but then, for me, it jumped the shark. It may have been faithful to the comics (don't know since I don't read them), but when almost his entire group of friends/family turned into heroes, it was just too much. Haven't had much interest in the shows since.

I'll check out Flash, if I get bored quickly I'll drop it.
I'll check out Batwoman eventually.
Probably day one for Superman and Lois.
Stargirl is one of my favorite shows so I'm still in for that.

Otherwise probably not. Definitely have burnout from the Arrowverse. It was a good run but I feel like they need to go in a different direction.

Stargirl is fantastic and I'm definitely back for more

Batwoman is doing well considering the recast

Legends is obviously still worth watching

Black Lightning is doing it's own thing and ending too

Superman & Lois I mean... you gotta check that out, it's Supes

That leaves Flash and Supergirl which both suck, but Supergirl is ending so I guess I can drag myself to the end of that, and The Flash is the #1 show now so I guess I have to watch that. That said the scheduling this year has been garbage even despite Covid and I don't have the motivation to watch anything live

I will watch all of it cause I'm a sucker for anything superhero related. I also don't watch a lot of TV anyway, so it gives me something to do on weeknights.

It wasn't. It completely shat all over the Green Arrow/Black Canary romance for an annoying hacker OC and ruined Black Canary.

I'll catch the final seasons of Black Lightning and Supergirl. Most likely catch Flash too. Might catch the rest on Netflix.
