The "woke criticisms" aside, I actually wanted to like this show. I think the lead actress does a really good job. Overall, I don't think anyone does a bad performance, which is rare for a CW show.
Now the bad.
This show just doesn't do much. It's slow, they focus too much on things that I can't imagine anyone being interested in, the dialogue is forced and predictable, the plot seems predictable. This really just is another example of a bad CW superhero show. They haven't learned anything, and it's got all the flaws of their previous endeavours. I hope that it gets better as the season goes on, but I don't think Ava Duvernay is suited for the action genre. She is better are slower, more emotional stories.
