Watched Part 1 and 2 of Crisis on Earth-X. The UK is not otherwise following the US schedule with them so I've only got one part tomorrow and then the last on Wednesday.
Part 1 and 2 were very good, despite some glaringly obvious continuity errors: At one point Jax seems surprised that there is more than one Earth. How can he possibly not know that after last year's crossover at the very least? It was established ages ago that Supergirl's Earth does not have the characters from Earth 1 and vice versa. At one point in this first half Harry basically says that every Earth has the same people, specifically saying that there are 53 Kara's. That means that Earth-1 must have a Kara. I suppose it might be plausible that it does and Krypton was not destroyed in that universe (so Kara never left) but how does that explain the absence of the usual characters on Earth-38? In relation to the above, where the hell did Oliver get Kryptonite from to make those arrows?

I just finished the "Crisis On Earth X" event the Arrowverse shows had, and I have to say, it really delivered! I won't go into spoilers, but suffice to say it felt much more important than last year's big crossover, plus the villains were fun, it had a perfect mix of drama, comedy and action, and because Supergirl was fully a part of it this time, they had more time to deliver a full 4 part special where every episode was focused entirely on the ongoing plot, and that made a huge difference.

Finished wathing Stranger Things, which me and my wife (and the kids too) found to be an excellent show. We´ll definitely be watching season 3 when it arrives.
Started watching "Better Call Saul"...

I liked the flashback episode as well, especially since they managed to find two new actresses who believably looked like the main, older versions of their characters.
Finished watching The Punisher on Netflix this morning, which I found an excellent series.

Yep, I saw some reviews saying last week's Supergirl was great, but when I watched it I was like "Are you guys kidding me?" I didn't hate it or anything, like I did the one where kids were literally poisoned to just get revenge on Lena Luthor, but I was really hoping Mon-El would stay gone, at least for a season and his return wasn't handled well imo (I hate love triangles on these shows, lol) and yeah, I was hoping Samantha's eventual turn would happen more gradually instead of just a seemingly one shot deal like that. Extremely disappointing episode, and it came just after the flashback episode, which most people hated but I really liked.
All the other shows were good last week, imo, though Arrow had some annoying parts. Flash and Legends were pretty much consistently great throughout, though. I'm watching half of the crossover today and the other half tomorrow, so hopefully it goes well.

One week until the DC cross over for the UK. I know stateside is mid-way through it. Looking forward it, but got three more normal episodes first.
Just dropped in this thread to say that this week's Supergirl was cliche as fuck. Literally everything about the episode even. Spoiler warning just in case: Mon-El comes back but he's been gone much longer from his perspective than it has for Kara (cliche). He's also now married (cliche). Samantha finds out the truth about herself and immediately gets turned evil (cliche) and will likely be 'saved' by Supergirl at the end of the season (cliche). An unimaginative episode all around. Hope The Flash is better this evening when I watch it.

I'm pretty sure I'm exactly caught up with you right now, on all the shows, since I still haven't seen the episodes that aired in North America this week. My take:
Supergirl: I thought it was going really great for the first four episodes, but then last week was pretty much awful in every possible way, so now I'm concerned. Obviously, they had to do what they did with one particular plot, due to the actress wanting out, but I thought it was handled in a very forced way, and Morgan Edge just seems like Maxwell Lord except less fun and more downright disgusting. Flash: I've been pretty mixed on it so far. Episodes 3 and 4 were the high point in the early season, but then last week was awful, in large part because I simply can't stand this new team member they added in, so every scene he's in is pretty much unwatchable for me. I'm definitely hating a lot of the forced comedy, as a lot of it is more on the gross and crude side, which is not really what Legends does so much, imo. Legends: Like with Supergirl, I had been loving it through four episodes, the fourth one in particular being one of my favorite episodes of the series, but then last week left me disappointed. I still enjoyed some of it, but between Rip being thrown out like garbage, pretty much, and Damien Dahrk being back for the millionth time, I'm a bit concerned about the rest of the season, now. Arrow: This has actually been surprisingly mixed for me as well. I said I loved the season premiere, but then I didn't really like the second episode much, while 3 and 4 were better but still mixed. Last week was great, mostly due to Deathstroke, but I'm still not sure about the overall direction of the season at this point. In case you couldn't tell, I've been struggling with the shows quite a bit this season, so far, and am starting to fear another burnout, like I had a couple years back. Honestly, last week's Flash and Supergril episodes were bad enough that if they don't dramatically improve by the midseason finale, I may end up dropping both of them.

It's been a while since I last commented on the Arrowverse shows, but we're several weeks in now so here goes. In case you're not up to date (with the UK) Travis then Spoiler alert, at least for Legends.
General comment: I feel like these have all been spoiled for me slightly due to watching the Marvel Cinematic Universe shows on Netflix. Their shorter seasons and one storyline per season style works much better in my view than the Arrowverse's villain of the week style. Supergirl: All I can say is mixed feeling so far. Neither upset nor blown away by anything. Honestly it still suffers from the changes made between season 1 and 2, and the disappeared characters that still remain unexplained. Flash: Generally decent, but some episodes have resorted to Legends of Tomorrow style ridiculous comedy to carry them through. Speaking of which... Legends: This one seems to get more stupid every week. That is until the latest episode to air here: Return of the Mack. And (Spoiler alert) then they brought Damien Darhk back to life. Again. Talk about recycling storylines. Arrow: Probably the one doing the best so far this season. Not perfect, there are still a number of unanswered questions from last season's cliffhanger with several characters fates still unknown after five weeks back on air, but I'm finding myself looking forward to this show more than the others right now. I'm looking forward to the crossover, which I hope will be handled better than the last one.

Forgot, also following Lucifer season 3. Enjoying so far, but in some storylines they really need to get to the point already.

Aside from weekly Arrowverse shows here's what I have on-going right now:
The Walking Dead season 8 (obviously) - Enjoyed episode 1, looking forward to 2 tomorrow. Luke Cage season 1 - put this on hold for Stranger Things season 2 put will be resuming this evening. Colony season 2 - this finished a while back but I saved up the episodes to watch in quick succession. Not the most enthralling series but I'm sticking with it. Porridge 2017 Season 1 - Obviously not as good as Ronnie Baker in the original, but this reboot featuring the character's grandson hasn't been too bad. Red Dwarf Season 12 - After a weak first episode the series has produced a trio of solid episodes since. Two more to go. The Shannara Chronicles Season 2 - After the first season was based directly on one of Terry Brook's novels, the second season has broke away in order to keep the same characters on the show. Two episodes in and we have characters showing up that in the books exist hundreds of years apart. I know this is going infuriate me though based on the first two episodes I think I'll be able to accept this as doing its own thing now as it does make a change of pace for a fantasy series being set in a post apocalyptic real world setting. Main bugger is the channel that shows it in the UK still only broadcasts in standard definition which looks really bad on our new 4K TV.

Me and my wife are watching Stranger Things too. It looks promising after a couple of episodes.

Have binged series 1 of Stranger Things this weekend. Have series 2 ready to watch! Liked it a lot. Really love the 80s setting, and I used to play Dungeons and Dragons a bit too.

So, wake up this morning to find that some bastard has hacked my Netflix account.
 I've managed to get it back because the attached email hadn't been changed, but someone had managed to change my password already.

^Too bad. You of course need to see the ending, when you´ve spend time watching the first three seasons
 .
I liked The Strain, but there were Things about the show I found a bit amaturish. Overall it´s recommendable to those who´d like their vampire shows with a twist of zombie

I haven't been able to see season 4 because even though it was made the UK channel that's showed 1 -3 suddenly decided they didn't want anything to do with season 4.

Just finished the series tonight. Season 1 was amazing, but it became a bit more mediocre as time went by. I´m glad they finished it after season 4.

Yeah, I was thinking either that or saving it for the midseason finale would have been cool. Either way, I at least wanted it to take a heck of a lot longer than it did, because they basically made the whole cliffhanger feel pointless with how quickly they resolved it.
