Not great, not Earth-shattering, and the lead character is a little too whiny (while the "James" Olson arc is annoying), but at this point the backstory and subplots and villains are getting interesting. And, stunner of stunners, the show has introduced J'onn J'onnz, aka the Martian Manhunter! (No Oreos yet, but I'm hoping). I've gone from watching because I was bored and wanted to see how bad it was (and yes, the pilot sucked), to gradually getting more interested in what happens next. Anyone else warming up to it? |

Stopped watching after the pilot. |

My wife and I have enjoyed it. Nice fun campy entertainment. I think the lead actress does a good job playing the dual role. |

I like it. It does it's job. Have to admit, wasn't surprised by the J'onn J'onnz revelation – it was my first guess when they showed him to be non-human. Also, like the idea that the glasses didn't work in hiding her identity. |

Generally I like it. It's a show where they really trying to do things right by comic book fans, and have learned from "Flash" and "Arrow"(maybe even "Gotham"), but it unfortunately suffers from being a TV show(stylistically). I've been watching it off and on, and really hoping that it will improve after the first season. |

My daughter and I really like. It is not dark like Gotham. Very funny, great characters, lots of action, and special effects are well done. |

I started recording it for my 12 yr old daughter since she's really into super heroes right now, and I thought it would be good for her to see one with a strong female lead. I think it's doing a good job showing how young woman coming to terms with living in the big world. The subjects of the mother/daughter like talks callista flockhart has with supervisor are pretty insightful and I hope my daughter is somewhat understanding what's being said. She loves the show and can't wait to watch it each week. |

I like it more than Netflix's gritty Jessica Jones. |

Yeah, Garrison, I made the same guess right off, too. But actually seeing the Martian Manhunter in all his awesome green glory was a terrific moment for this fan of JLI. I agree that Callista Flockhart's character (and performance) is a good one, and not the stereotype she appears to be in the pilot. I'm also glad that the show isn't as gritty or full of sexual situations and cruel violence as "Arrow." Somebody clearly realized that this was a show with appeal to younger audiences as well as adult fans, and wisely has respected more innocent sensibilities, as well as offering positive role models for girls. |
