I haaated Titans S1, but S2 is ... okay. I'm not liking Batwoman. But I've not seen any of the other shows yet! Supergirl is the one I know the least about from the comics, so I'll have less to compare it to so may like it more haha.

The Arrowverse is quite fun but you have to go into it knowing that it's junkfood TV. Supergirl and Batwoman are part of that as are Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. In order to get the most out of one of those shows, you kinda have to watch all of them since every season they do a week long crossover event and there's little bits here and there that you may miss by not keeping up with all four shows.

If you're gonna watch those shows and you wanna keep in line with each show properly then this is a rough way to watch them

- Watch Season 1 and 2 of Arrow
- Watch Season 3 of Arrow alongside Season 1 of Flash
- Watch Season 4 of Arrow, Season 2 of Flash, Season 1 of Supergirl.
- Watch Season 5 of Arrow, Season 3 of Flash, Season 2 of Supergirl and Season 1 of Legends of Tomorrow.
-Carry on until this year's seasons in which you'll add Batwoman to the list.

There's also a show called Black Lightning but it doesn't take place in the same world although it will have a part in this year's crossover.

Is it worth it to watch them all? Certain seasons are excellent, Season 2 of Arrow for example is damn near perfect, Season 1 of The Flash is both wonderfully magical while simultaneously making you cry ugly tears, Supergirl Season 4 starts off a bit heavy handed but becomes great as it goes on and Legends of Tomorrow is just wacky ridiculous from Season 2 onwards. There's at least one bad season in each show though (Two of an half for Arrow, two for Flash, one and a half for Supergirl and the first season of Legends is difficult to get through).

If you love trash easy-to-watch TV, you'll probably burn through it but if you can't get past the fact that the scripts are never great and the performances are your typical teen drama-esque calibre then you'll hate it.
