The World According To Jeff Goldblum. He's very likeable as a host. He gives a standard NGC show a lot of flair. This has only just begun to air here, I'm stoked for the rest of the season. The first episode was about sneakers. I know a second seadon is in the works. They made one new episode for season 2 before the lockdown happened.

The Last Dance. Great watch as a longtime MJ & 90's Bulls fan.
Lesbo Bats. Not the most engaging pilot so far but hey I'll see where it goes.
Lesbo Bats? Title of the year?
Yes, Javicia Leslie will step in as a new character who will quickly become the protagonist.
I've seen 6 eps so far and the show does get better somewhat after the first 2 eps but this is still a far cry from some of its sister shows. While I didn't catch up w/ the recent seasons of Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl they all got off to a better start imo. I may have got burned out on superheroes a bit but in this case I think it's really the show's weaknesses that are to blame. I get how they go for bleak visuals and somewhat understated and 'realistic' action but the end result is too bland for me, at least so far. The most interesting character is Alice, and her back story does get filled out as the season progresses, but she's nowhere near outlandish or captivating. As a HUGE Alice In Wonderland fan (I collect book editions and secondary literature) I think much more could have been done in terms of references to the book and its characters. Mind you I don't know what rights issues are at play here.
While 'Gotham', which I saw the first two seasons of, suffered from tonal shifts early on (drama / comedy / action) the origin stories and performances were captivating. Also the look of the show was much more interesting, very colorful in places.
I wonder if the budget for 'Batwoman' is lower than for some of the other shows. Notice how strangely deserted the city of Gotham looks. Hardly any extras and a totally lifeless city with no day to day action in the background.
I'll still finish the season though.

I picked up where I left off with 'Emerald City' (2016) 4 years later. Really like it, too bad it got canceled. Some of the criticism the show got was valid but I still enjoy it immensely. I wish there more adult (not as in pornographic) versions of some of the original books. Well maybe there are, like graphic novels and such. I'll have a look around.

I remember hearing about the bat "woman" show and the lead character identifying as she/they/it and how important it was that the replacement was also she/they/it.
