It's been slightly longer since my last TV Jumble Blog, I've not watched as much as I wanted to during lockdown but here's some of what I've finished up with in the last while.
Batwoman: It's nice to see that for a show that started off so ropy that post Crisis, it really showed genuine improvement. In spite of the chaos ahead of the second season (another blog on that soon), the final four episodes for Kate Kane really upped the ante. We saw Alice and Mouse take over Arkham, the latter die, the birth of Hush, an introduction of sorts for Bruce Wayne, Mary added into the mix, Jacob continuing to be the absolute worst, a Sophie/Julia pairing and the hints of next season baddie, Safiyah. Oh and some decent material for Luke. Season 2 really will have an uphill battle on it's hand after the show managed to turn things around after such an unpromising start.
Killing Eve: Yes, I watched the whole of Season 3 and the general consensus would be that it was mostly an improvement on it's second season but still lacking on the greatness of the first year. There's a part of me that thinks that the fourth season should be it's last one as the show feels in danger of running out of steam. None of the new characters really made a great impression, except Dasha and she got a rather anticlimactic exit. The male characters except Konstantin are poorly written and Carolyn needs something more to work with. Eve and Villanelle both keep the show afloat and it does seem like the show will eventually cave into shippers desire but the stuff with the Twelve is losing me as well.
Supergirl: A mixed bag of episodes for a mixed bag of a season. On the plus side, at least Lena came to her sense and both her and Kara are on the same team once again, but the Leviathan storyline was mostly a bore, Acrata poorly used, the Kara/William rather dull and while I do enjoy Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor, next season might want to break away from the character but given the cliffhanger of this finale, that will obviously not be the case. Perhaps the longer break will give the writers some better ideas.
The Flash: A widely uneven season with too much time of Iris being trapped in the Mirror universe and took long for Barry in figuring out that his wife was missing. On the other hand, though, Eva turned out to be a massive improvement in terms of baddies after the terrible use of Bloodwork in the show's first half. However given the real life situation, this finale really wasn't meant to be one but despite feeling rushed, it mostly works. Next season will have to quickly wrap up the Mirror Master storyline among other behind the scenes mayhem as well.
