I thought the trailers looked bad but I'm actually really enjoying this. It's way better than Arrow, that's for sure (though that might not be saying much)

Is it in the same universe as Arrow? That's what made me not watch Flash after first few episodes.

Nope. It has its own continuity. That's a good thing too, it would not fit in with the Arrowverse at all. It's surprisingly really serious and heavy with its themes and would be out of place in the overly campy Arrowverse. The tone reminds me a lot of Daredevil, though maybe not quite that same level of quality. Still a great show though

Not really? Cress Williams is great in the lead role. He comes off as really genuine.

This what I'm afraid of.

Tc is it campy in a good way? Like they're fully aware and embrace it for the better? Anything like Black Dynamite?

I mean, the only thing I'd call super campy is his costume, but they play it straight and it kinda works tbh. And the villains are like comically evil, but it does make them fun to watch

It's not worse than Stephen Amell's acting

Like I said Cress Williams is great, and going by reviews I've read that seems to be the general consensus.
