More average than legendary
Having got into the Arrow and then the Flash series I thought this could be rather good with several characters from each show teaming up. Unfortunately the plot of not using the other shows main characters... They would cause too much of a ripple in the time line, or studio fees... Does raise some questions, but it gets overwhelming with too many characters and feels like it's target audience might be younger than the other shows. Overall it is less than the sum of it's parts.

Great just got better
3 episodes into season 2 and I'm even more hooked than I was watching season 1. The action hits you straight after the 1st minute or 2 in episode 1 and your right back with the trio looking for God and hitting some pretty funny and gory obsticals on their way. Plot gets thicker and delves into some of the open ended and unanswered questions left from season 1. Overall if the rest of the season stays this strong it will be an amazing ride.

A deeply disturbing psychological drama
I would not consider this a conventional thriller as it was understandable that the ending would play out in such a way. But it is a harrowing, horribly grim perspective on intergenerational sexual abuse and incest. It raises questions about how such acts can continue to happen over long periods of time, how abusers manipulate their victims to make them feel they are to blame in their trauma as well as the complicity of outside factors such as the other parent and the outside community. A horrifying look at patriarchal structures.
