Rating Some Of The Live Action DC TV Shows From Worst To Best

DC fans lets be real for the next few months Marvel is going to be on everyone's lips and while there taking all the money ever made on the big screen DC is getting all the views across both TV and there are own streaming service. So I thought i'd rank some of there TV shows from worst to best and yes I will be including stuff done for there streaming service but i'm only counting the live action output since if I didn't the number spot would be very easy to predict.

Legends of Tomorrow

Out of all the shows set in the Arrowverse this is perhaps the worst one in my opinion and i'm saying that because it's the same storyline every single year there's this big bad guy that the team has to face all the while avoiding this big corporation who wants to stop them. It honestly gets boring after a while which is a shame because when it wants to be this show can be really fun especially during the action sequences.

Gotham

This show just aired it's final ever episode but in my opinion while that episode was indeed good the series as a whole just isn't. The reason why I think this is the case is because it's a prequel so we know none of the main cast of characters are going to die because they play a part in the Batman lore and so all suspense is gone but to the shows credit it does have a great performance from Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot.

Supergirl

Now i'll admit to not watching much of this current season so I can't really say if this season is any good or not but just based of the previous three this is one of the worst shows on the Arrowverse. It's not that bad of a show by any means but what really gets me is the fans the fans of this show can be really insane when it comes to these shows even going as far as threaten to boycott the show because an actress chose to leave the show.

Titans

Our first show from the DC Universe and I have to say that I really did enjoy this show alot the show had alot of things in it that I really liked like for example the acting from the leads was really good , I liked the fact that it was more mature because it's not a take i've seen on the Titans before and the action was solid. The reason why this show isn't higher is just because it didn't grip me so I wasn't compelled to watch the next episode.

Doom Patrol

Now i'll admit i've only seen the first episode of this show and so this show being placed here is purely based on that episode alone. To me the show seems really fresh and unique it has a great mixture of comedy , action and drama but as far as the first episode goes that's all it has since like Titans i'm not feeling compelled to watch the next episode so I have no idea if it's getting better or worse.

The Flash (2014 Series)

I know that not alot of people like this show but I love it for me it's a comic book show that's not afraid to be a comic book show. I will admit that there can be some bad episodes but the same thing can be said for every show , this show honestly has some of the best CGI seen on network television and they do it on a weekly basis as well. The show knows when to use humour which to me really does help sell the show because it makes it feel more real to me and it's easily the best show in the Arrowverse.

Titans "Hawk and Dove" Review

Well then DC fans this was something that I never saw coming and even until today never even planned on doing but yes I will now be bringing you weekly reviews of Titans and since this is now weekly my score for episode one is a 7.5 out of 10 and now with that out of the way here is my review of episode two Hawk and Dove.

The plot of episode two is Dick is taking Rachel to stay with some old friends of his in the meanwhile a new threat comes after the duo. This episode was really lacking in terms of plot for me the previous episode did a good job of setting up the story for the season and this episode really could have added to it but no instead they choose to add in a rather weak story and also apart from Dick and Rachel none of the other Titans appear in the episode.

Like I just said there was no Starfire or Beast Boy in this episode at all so instead starring in the episode is Brenton Thwaites as Dick Grayson , Teagan Croft as Rachel Roth , Alan Ritchson as Hank Hall / Hawk , Minka Kelly as Dawn Granger / Dove , Jeff Clarke as Nuclear Dad , Melody Johnson as Nuclear Mom , Jeni Ross as Nuclear Sis and Logan Thompson as Nuclear Biff. The acting from the two main series leads is better in this episode then it was in the first but it's still not as good as it will be come the series finale as for the other actors they do a fine job but tho I was just surprised that Smallville's Aquaman was in this show to really take note of his acting.

For a show based around the Teen Titans there was no other future Titans in the episode and that's something that I can really see hurting the show in the long run since from what we got in episode 1 at least three of the titans will have interesting stories and I was really surprised that they didn't feature Beast boy at all in this episode given how little screen time he had in the previous episode I like many of you thought they were saving him for this weeks episode but nope.

This was the first appearance in live action form for The Nuclear Family and I have to say they came of as really terrifying in this episode and that's something that I prey to god continues throughout the rest of this first season just seeing the family interact before there mission and comparing it to how they are during it makes them seem really creepy I'm not going to give away the end of the episode but the family does something you'll know about if you know the history of Hawk and Dove that's all i'll say.

If you guys follow me on Doctor Who amino you'll know that I do weekly reviews for each new episode and while I have reviewed other shows in the past i've never done a weekly review of a superhero show before so i'm still trying to work out what things I can find in the episode to talk about so don't expect this to be like my Doctor Who reviews were I go into alot of detail because that's a different show and how that shows works allows me to do so but even with this episode i'm struggling to find something to talk about.

What really confused me last week and as well this week is that for some reason the show opens with the intro that plays infront of any DCEU film this show as far as we know is not set in the DCEU so it makes no sense what so ever to have that intro playing in this show why couldn't they have made an intro for all DC Universe shows kind of like how Marvel have one for the MCU and one for Marvel Television come on DC and Warner Bros. get on it.

What was really cool tho is the fight scene that takes place near the start of the episode i'm not going to say who takes part in it because it's something you have to see but if that is the type of fight scenes we can expect to see in this show then i;m happy but I will admit that the choice to have a possibly metal version of "Kids In America" play over it was really freaking weird.

Overall this second episode had a really weak story as well as lacking the other two main characters but it was also alot of fun and it makes interested in where next weeks episode will go so it gets a 7 out of 10 from me.

   

Titans "Titans" Review

Dc fans Marvel has been killing it with there Netflix shows and DC have decided to throw there hat in the ring kind of by launching there own streaming service and the first episode of the first original show has been released and so here is my review of the first episode of Titans which is also called Titans.

The basic plot of this episode is Rachel Roth (Raven) sees her mother get killed right in front of her and so she goes to Detroit to find Dick Grayson (Robin) all the while a young woman (Starfire) wakes up in Austria with no memory and is determined to find Rachel. For a first episode I pretty much got what I expected out of it story wise but even I was shocked at how basic the story for the episode is but like I said for a first episode it gives you the amount of story that you pretty much need.

Starring in this episode was Brenton Thwaites as Richard "Dick" Grayson / Robin , Anna Diop as Kory Anders / Starfire , Teagan Croft as Rachel Roth / Raven , Lindsey Gort as Amy Rohrbach and Sherilyn Fenn as Angela. Yes Ryan Potter does make an appearance in this episode but it's right at the end like literally before the credits start playing they introduce him so if your wondering why I didn't credit him it's because he's in one scene and has no lines of dialog as for the the cast I have credited they do a fairly decent job it's a pilot episode so of course you can't expect the acting to be perfect right of the bat.

To DC's credit they really have gone all out in terms of promoting this thing and that's something that Netflix very rarely do they release one maybe two trailers and that's it but this show had several trailers and spots released as well as countless images and to me that says that DC knows that this is an important show for them because if this things fails then so does there subscription service.

What I thought was a brave move was the fact that they have pretty much made Rachel aka Raven the main character this series I say it's a brave move because not a lot of people know about the character so it would have made sense from that point of view to make Dick the main character but that goes to show you that DC Universe is being put together to please the fans rather then the average Joe and as to be expected they don't go to much into her backstory which im sure will be explored in a later episode.

Now in my intro for this review I said that they are kind of throwing there hat into the ring with a streaming service and that's because while they have launched DC Universe here in the UK for some reason Netflix UK is picking up the streaming rights for Titans which to me is really dumb on Dc's part since Netflix is there main competition so giving them your flagship show is like your giving them all your money but your trusting them not to spend it but deep down you know they will.

Now I know that this show already had it's haters even before it even premiered and sadly alot of the hate was aimed at actress Anna Diop the actress got so much hate that she had to leave social media and I fell that now is the right time to bring this up but if your a fan of something then please do not hate on the people who make the thing that you say you love by giving someone alot of hate then you make the rest of the fans who actually give a damn about whatever it is there making look bad and even more so when the reason your hating on them is because the actress is black that's just wrong on so many levels.

Speaking of Starfire while she does get a decent amount of screen time they don't really do that much with her in the actual episode I think she's in three scenes which do last a decent amount of time but alot of the time in those scenes is her asking people who she is and there's only so many times you can do that before it starts to come across as boring I mean granted this is only the first episode but even so this is our first time seeing the character in live action give her more to do and give us a reason to care about her.

Again this show got a lot of hate for being to dark and gritty which to me is freaking funny because there is a show out there which is just the opposite of this show and you know what it's called Teen Titans Go! if you want to watch something that's more lighthearted then by all means watch that show and complain how lighthearted it is to me the people who were saying it's to dark are people that cannot be pleased if anything they should have issues with the overall quality of the product and not the tone.

I'm not going to make any comments about the costumes because to be honest the only one we see in this episode is Robins which even then it's in the dark but I can say that based of the released images Robins costume does look really awesome altho i'm left wondering a few things after watching this episode first of did he ever become Nightwing? and second of why wasn't this show set in Bludhaven since Robin lives there it would make sense to set the show there but nope they have the series take place in Detroit and they don't even mention Bludhaven in this episode.

For a superhero show we shockingly had very little action which given that this is a superhero show I guess does make sense but still it's a superhero show we want to see our heroes fight in fact we only had two or three fight scenes and one of them featured the same character but I will admit that the first action scene we got was really freaking cool i'm not going to say who it includes but when you watch the episode hopefully you'll think it's cool as well.

Overall this first episode really wasn't that bad it gives you the things that you expect from a pilot episode altho I will never understand why the name of the first episode is also the name of the show and if i'm still watching this show by the time it ends it's first season then yes there will be a full review and since this is a pilot episode i'm not going to give it a rating but I will say that it's out now on DC Universe in the USA and Netflix UK if your in the UK I have no idea about the rest of the world sorry.
