Been watching through the Arrowverse shows. I watched Arrow and Flash and was desperate for more, so I decided to give this show a second shot.
When I saw it before I only saw a couple of episodes from season 1 disjointed and I heard it went down the path of Supergirl and became preachy so I must admit I judged it rather harshly.
Having watched all 3 seasons properly this time I must say its great. One of the best superhero shows. It is a bit preachy but not like Supergirl or New Who to the point where it overtakes the story or bugs you at all. The worst is the cringey anti Russia episode.
Still its great. I would recommend it to all of the users here. Its kind of a mix of Doctor Who/Blake's 7/Red Dwarf and Primeval.
Like Doctor Who its about a group of people who can go anywhere in any time and space (though sadly they seem focused more on earth. They have yet to visit an alien planet, but there are stories in outer space at least.)
However its also very Blake's 7 in that its about a group of criminals, misfits and losers who are on the run from an oppressive organisation. I won't give too much away, but they are definite B7 vibes when they are on the run from the Time Masters. The fact that lots of characters come and go is very B7 too.
At the same time much like Red Dwarf the "heroes" are complete fuck ups and make everything worse. There is a lot of great comedy from how often they screw things up.
Finally the third series has pretty much the same premise as Primeval. The main cast accidentally fracture time at the end of series two which creates tears in space and time that allow people and things from different times to cross over. One episode is even about a Sabre Tooth Cat in the 18th century!
It has a great cast too. I like pretty much all of the regulars, though my fave has to be Captain Cold. Wentworth Miller is a brilliant actor. He's the Avon of the group. When you look at him in real life he is such a sensitive, thoughtful, well spoken guy. He couldn't be more different to the smug asshole he plays LOL.
IMO this is the best time travelling show on tv right now. It just goes to show you even with SJW nonsense you can still do a great show, but New Who is just inept all around.
