The main theme of a man balancing his idealism with the realities of DC continues seamlessly, as do the B-stories of a more personal nature that work well within the show, rather than seeming like an add-on designed to pull in another demographic.
From the jump, it has always seemed to me that the Hannah Wells story lines were superfluous, and they continue to be. Hence one less star.
But the move to Netflix has been a positive thing. Had other reviewers stuck with the show even for a single episode, instead of clutching their pearls over stronger language added when the show got dumped by the Mouse's network, they would have seen that.
While not as evident in the first episode, the move has allowed the writers to tackle hot-button topics that are of vital importance to our nation, but that network TV would never touch. And it often deals with them in an even more unique way than the first 2 seasons.
Another great new feature is that Netflix can be more experimental. Each of the first three episodes contains unscripted videos of real people addressing the main issue of that ep. You'd never see cinema verite on network TV.
Is there stronger language? Sure. But this is Netflix. How can anyone be surprised? And even if they knew nothing of the service, what did they think the TV-MA rating was for?
