I love almost everything about this series. I'm going to get my main complaints out of the way, then get to the good stuff. Be sure to read the whole thing! There were some slow parts that went on longer than I cared for (a bit of unnecessary clutter), but within said parts there is always relevant info. It doesn't make the series any less worth watching. Also, I wanted Scarecrow to be a little more unhinged. Only one star off for both of these complaints, now to the good stuff. I love that it's dark and gritty, like a tiny level above CW's Gotham (which was also fantastic except for being too watered down for network television). We're mostly adulting in this [formerly/known/as teen] series, and it's a breath of fresh air. Teagan Croft is delightful as Rachel. I'm hoping we get to see more of her personal struggles, and more of her awesome powers. There could not have been a better Donna Troy cast than Conor Leslie. She's perfect for the role, body language, voice inflections, facial expressions, everything. Curran Walters did a stunning job at portraying Jason Todd. Bring. Him. Back. Find a way. Hank Hall's personal story line was awesome, and portrayed in a way that brought attention to a current issue without completely breaking the immersion of the main story. Brilliantly done! Brenton Thwaites is also perfectly cast, brings personal conflict and an overthinking broodiness to an already dark series. I can't imagine anyone else in this role. I love the darkness of the series. And I look forward to seeing more dark sides in all of the characters.
