Unfortunately, neither are as good as either The Flash or Arrow, which suggests to me that Greg Berlanti is stretching himself a little thin with 4 shows on air.

Although they are trying to expand the DC universe I think they are trying to cater for as many audiences as possible to keep the ratings up. I think Arrow and Flash are the more serious series (like the Dark Knight trilogy) and appeals to adults. Supergirl is all about female empowerment and appeals to young teens girls and LoT (
) is all light hearted and action packed for 8-12 year old boys. If they made them all the same with the same serious tone like Arrow then I am sure we would be sitting here saying we haven't got time for 4 series and we would only watch our favourite 2

I felt the same and watched it all the way through just because it was nice to have a spacey scifi series and also because I wanted to see where they were taking it. I gave it the benefit of doubt because the dude who made SG1 makes it. I think i'll keep watching it but it is something I can take or leave and isn't something I would watch immediately every week like GoT, TWD, Greys etc.
