I want this show to be good, but the writing is lazy. I have no issue with any of the actors; they're actually the best part. Unfortunately the plot of this episode has too many unnecessary scenes and dialogue. If there are going to be flashbacks, they should add to the episode development, instead of reiterate what was already shown.

Last week I said the Batwoman Premiere was very bad. My expectations were low for this episode, and I was ready to be bored, and annoyed... HOWEVER I was surprised to say this was actually a significant improvement from the last episode. The performances of most actors in this show still aren't too good, but they were a big improvement over last episode. Alice is probably the best performed character, and just most entertaining character in general. She's definitely what's keeping me at least somewhat engaged. Ruby Rose still feels wooden in this role, and I do hope she improves, because she'll really drag the show down. This episode was just much better structured and edited. That doesn't mean it's well structured and edited, it's still not good, it's just mediocre, which is actually an improvement. The flashbacks were just better done. I do think they need a better transition though, because there was a specific scene where it kept cutting back to the flashbacks and it was just excessive. I was also very surprised to see these characters get somewhat developed. I was expecting these quirky characters like Kate's step sister to go underdeveloped, and mostly used as a plot device, but she actually had her emotional moment. Was it cliched? Yes, all the characters are still very cliched, and one note, but they are being developed. As a whole this episode was just much better. There isn't much to say because I don't want to really spoil it for those who are still on edge on wether to continue the show or not, but if Batwoman continues to improve, it might just be worthwhile.

After a lackluster pilot the show seems to be rapidly finding it´s center. This episode felt like a small fast movie. We are better presented to Batwoman's "team" and possible season's villain. There is less romance which is good and more family intrigue which is quite interesting. Action scenes are good for a show like this. Dougray Scott as Colonel Jacob Kane is absolutely spot on. And will we see Luke Fox as Batwing in future episodes? Oh yes, I will be checking out the next episodes. As I can't rate a show based on a pilot you see? That's somehow immature.

Boy, oh boy, I was an early defender for this series but after the second episode; it leaving me scratching my head. The worst offender so far is the writing, we are seeing little development in the story and even less of which is the tension/stakes. Overall direction in how some of the scenes are shot has me cringing way more than the first episode. The lead example was when Kate's father opens the door to speak with her at the station. Immediately had The Room flashbacks as his emotion was so off it was laughable.

I have low expectations for the adaption going in as CW doesn't really do a great job at rolling in emotional or deep stories but rather slap you in the face with morals in that 3 min window they have. I want to like this show but pitfalls of one liners that look as if they are physically hurting Ruby Rose to say just makes me uncomfortable.

Acting wise I would say I am only enjoying the performances of Kate, her former girlfriend and her step sister. Everyone else is woof so far. The villain is a weird choice as we just had a similar character done much better in Gotham. She seems to be over doing it but I cant blame the actress at this point as the direction and story is so off coming out of the second episode.

Hoping for a redeeming moment or character addition after crisis because I can't see this show coming back around at the moment. They already seem like they are missing someone.

4.5 - 5/10 somewhere in that area :(

I believed that it will get better, only to see the same crap again.avoid it. watch supergirl instead. compairing to this abomination, its a masterpiece.

Ditch Ruby Rose and her ham fisted wooden acting and it may have a chance.

Did the network even screen test ruby rose? Seriously, this woman cannot act. Even if she could, this show is terrible and will hopefully only last one season

The pilot nicely placed the chess pieces on the board, now, the game is starting. Being a fan of Batwoman since her introduction in the 52 comics series, I was very curious to know how they would introduce certain elements, and the team do not disappoint. The acting is on point, the cinematography and the music render perfectly the Gotham atmosphere, and the story is well developped. Certain new shows have a slow beginning, but that's not the case here. I highly recommend it.

A slightly better than the pilot episode. Pilot: 0/10, this one 1.5/10

The show from the trailer was terrible. First ep was horrible and almost gave me diabetes. What do I do? I watch ep 2. Big mistake.

I guess watching 10 years of the MCU really does kill my brain cells.

This show is a master class in how to sell an utterly uninspired derivative mess to network executives purely based on marketing it towards the woke masses as a new step towards diverse representation in Hollywood. The soundtrack is horrendous and in this particular episode it veers off into melodramatic breakup music you would expect to hear on a show like "the hills" not a hard hitting superhero show. The villain of the story is cartoonish at best but her performance is infinitely better than the rest of the cast a feat achieved merely by not coming across as bored and uninterested. Ruby Rose is wooden in her delivery and too scrawny to be a credible force within the world of Batman and Gotham city in the scarce action scenes to date, her acting is comically upstaged by the younger actress playing an earlier incarnation of Kate kane. If you want my advice, avoid this garbage at all cost.

Though each episode is not making true great feeling but it worth watching it because it is a piece of much bigger event. I will be really pleased to see the Batman tech in main focus, that would be interesting. I am so excited for the Earth Crisis.

If this series wants to progress it needs to add some action some entertainment value otherwise its just a pretty standard plot and in this episode literally nothing happened except a few characters hate each other more.

2nd ep.. i gotta say i really wasn't expecting to like it but i really am. more and more

I honestly tried to watch this.. i had some hope after the first episode but they did not deliver at all sadly. i think it will be down hill from here on out and i dont know if i can watch the 3rd episode to be honest. the acting is not good. the story is bad after they screwed up that hope i had from the first episode and they are just trying to hard to be something and they dont know what that something is.

3 stars from me..

USER REVIEWADDITION Have you heard about REAL CGI!? That "explosion" in the SECOND minute of the episode AND ALL other CGI effects are SO HORRIBLE. :( :( :( WHYYYYY!? Can't you at least pay for better FAKE explosions!??? :(

AND she (Batwoman) didn't know her Batsuit was bulletproof!??? So she could've been DEAD alredy. LMAO, so sad.

Ruby has to be one of the WORST "acters" in the history of acting. A boiled broccoli has more face impressions than her. Whish thay had chosen somebody else. ANYBODY else.

There are SO many things WRONG with the script that I don't even have the time. WATCHMEN S01E01 was GREAT, you should WATCH and LEARN.CGIIIIIIIII ANYBODY!???

Alice is great!! Acting was way better than last time, im starting to like this show.

2.5 out of 5 stars.

The episode continues to be terrible. The writing is cheesy. The direction is filled with stupid characters. Even Kate makes stupid decisions and the love story is tedious.

It does have some decent action. Kates obsession in finding her sister Alice is anti climatic when they come across each other.

As one of the few people that did like the first episode of batwoman, I did expect this episode to continue what the first episode did which I'm glad to say it did. Batwoman episode 2 is another good episode but my problems still are there with the second episode Alice is not an interesting Villain at all and there setting up a lot of twists at the end of both episodes that better be explained. Other than that I'm excited to see how they continue this show as a fan of the first 2 episodes hopefully the 3rd episode would pick up its steam action wise because there was mostly drama in this one but still a pretty solid episode.

First episode of Bateoman was a good start but the second episode was better than the first.

This show is built around family dynamics. So the characters took a little to fill out and their interactions working. The tragdy of the car accident is the center of the show. It highlights batmans failure as well as leaving Gotham. I prefer my super heros to have flaws and issues (no the gay aspects of this show are not a flaw but a positive), it just makes for a more interesting show. I begining to really enjoy this show. Chicago as gotham actually works, Alice needs to build out more but that back story has room to grow.
