    • New comedy show by DC. Middling writing so far, but its got some potential.

    • I'm watching it, but am a bit disappointed that the on screen hero and villain are not from the DC canon as far as I can tell. They mention some of the canon characters but don't show them.

    Would have been nice if they could have used some canon D-listers. Maybe have an employee who was once in the Biz.

    Have to agree. I think someone had delusion of creating an "office" type show set in a super hero world. but it's so cardboard with stereotype characters. Looks more like an SNL parody than a genuine show.

    • I want to defend this show.

    I desperately want this show to be good.

    It is exactly what I like to read/watch, stories in fantastic settings not centred around great adventures or plots to destroy the world but around people. Showing how life is different in world subtly or drastically different than our own.

    But I'm not going to defend a show which I can't watch for more than 5 minutes before stopping because I can't be bothered to put up with it in larger chuncks.

    I mean I stop evey so often on a lot of shows but that is normally because I know where it is going and I want to rant at the characters. I have to be into the show to do that though. Here I just pause to cringe until I forget why I stopped watching, start it up again, remember why I stopped, get through the stupid bit, stop at the next stupid bit, repeat process.
    My dreams take me to far off lands and times of distant past and future. They tell what has been done, what will happen and who I am. They show me things beyond the machinations of any man. Tell me, what are dreams to you?
