I can feel the DC dude bros rising from their gamer chairs to attack this show. And it really isn't their bat; they have legit reason to not like what they'll find here. It's about kids and angst and changing times. Which honestly, both the Bat angle and the Teen angle makes it not my type of show either. Yet it is. (Though maybe more at the binge level than weekly) Pilots are tough, but this one made things look effortless--especially impressive on a CW budget. They'll hit their audience on that network, if the economy will let them be renewed there and not moved to a mainline streamer like Max. --- Highlights and kudos? I wouldn't be a Supernatural fan without a call out to Misha Collins. His Harvey Dent could blend in on any crime show. What a interesting change to see him not being Castiel. (And there was nothing of Cas here, which is as it should be.) Even more fun will be getting to know these young actors. They're good enough that I'm going to have to learn all their names. Every one, because they managed in a short hour to EACH have a different vibe and voice. (Which isn't that what writing and acting should do in a show?) My best chuckle was the line "my mom's car" from little Robin. I grinned at the Single Man Tear elevated by Joker's Daughter. It's going to be a good run, short or long.
