If you are watching this show out of legit interest in the material, then that's cool.

But if you are watching it as a casual curiosity or for the train wreck, or basically any other reason than your own pure interest in the material, don't reward Hollywood or the CW with the viewership when they pull their nonsense.

Resist your addictions, people. Don't disagree with a position and then still fork over the money under the false argument of "making a fair judgement". When someone tells you to do that you are being manipulated and that person is calling you dumb.

But again, if you are watching it out of pure interest, then that's your thing. -shrugs-

Just a point of convo.

Or rewatching "Perfect Strangers" episodes. Or reorganizing my sock drawer. Or anything.

It's not looking good, though. The premiere episode only had 1.86 million viewers and it's already dropped down to 1.23.

To compare, Arrow started at 3.7 million viewers and its cancellation was announced during the middle of its last season in which it averaged... 1.2 million viewers.

Batwoman's present RT audience score is 12%. By comparison, Supergirl's is at 51%.

They need to recast the lead. Ruby Rose is a terrible actress. She can't emote and delivers every line in the same monotone voice.

That's lower than a politician's approval rating!

But I'll speak no more of that.

No one should disrespect the mantle of the Bat. It is literal perfection.

The 72% Critical Score humors me.

The proverbial "1%" reference doesn't even begin to do this one justice.

Critics were more reliable back when it was only Siskel and Ebert.

Been seeing more and more of this kind of disparity, lately, with regard to movies, TV and entertainment in general.

Critics: "This thing is wonderful because it tells the audience exactly what they're supposed to think and believe! Highly recommend."

Regular People: "Yeah, I don't actually like people telling me what I'm 'supposed' to think, so take this thing and cram it."

Very interesting.

Basically any authoritarian state ever.
It is sad that it happens to previously free and progressive Western world.

Looks like ratings continue to plummet. 2 weeks ago it was at 1.16 million, now it's down to 1.09.

So yeah, right about at the same mark when CW announced that season 8 of Arrow would be Arrow's final season. Though Black Lightning got renewed for season 3 when it was just pulling 0.9s and 0.8s... and now is pulling 0.6s and 0.5s in the new season.

It probably doesn't help most people don't watch these shows on TV, they watch it illegally online.

which is a damn shame cause Season 3 of Black Lightning is really good. people are sleeping on it.

Also Alfred's Daughter is coming to Batwoman

https://comicbook.com/dc/2019/11/12/...-julia-photos/

The photo showcase an unexpected character who will be joining the series' ensemble -- Julia Pennyworth (The Royals' Christina Wolfe), the daughter of Batman's loyal butler, Alfred. Wolfe's take on Julia is described as a "crafty and quick-witted British secret service agent", who "shares a complicated past with Kate Kane (Ruby Rose), which impedes her mission as the two set sights on the same target."

I actually expected this once I read Gordon wasn't around and Lucius was dead. No Alfred, but Batwoman won't resist bringing in their own Pennyworth... called it.

Hell, now that Arrow is over, one of the CW shows needs to step up and take over the title of "We Use All of Batman's Villains and Supporting Characters Because We Don't Give a $hit About Source Material."
