This show is getting better, maybe slowly but there is a huge difference between first episodes and this one.
I choose hope and will give this show a long chance till last episode but just for Alice not for batwoman.

Best so far but still a long way to go!
cecilstolberg19 May 2020
Over here in the UK we have only just seen episode 8.
Not sure if luck or judgment but the best episode so far, that being said the series still has a long way to go if it wants to be considered anything other than trash!
Warner Bros., Entertainment really should think about canning the whole production team and replacing them with the team that made Gotham!
Gotham was a better production on every measurable level and a blueprint for how any Batman/Batwoman, Dark Knight series should be staged!
With that to follow on from, I can't understand how the current production team seem to be getting it so wrong!
Guys, before you work on any more episodes, get together for a weekend and binge watch all the Gotham series, and please, take notes!
It's the only way your going to save Batwoman, and that is something I genuinely want you to do because I don't want another "Comic Book" series cancelled. Which this series inevitably will be unless you guys can turn thing around!
Sister Act
richardchatten17 May 2020
This episode begins with Kate Kane briefly strolling about costumed but bareheaded as we were for the most part denied the pleasure of seeing Barbara Gordon back in the sixties.
But after the cool scene with the hacked teleprompter what then follows is as enervating as if in the original TV series Barbara had then remained at her post in Gotham City Library instead of promptly hitting the town kicking asses and breaking jaws. And Miss Gordon didn't have a sibling she spends half the episode engaged in whiny recriminations with before briefly getting back into uniform to swiftly stick the boot into a gang of evildoers before once again returning to the more pressing matter of yet another heart-to-heart with her girlfriend. (To be continued, alas.)

Damn, I have watch some good television in my time, but this episode was fantastic.
Revenge is a dish better served cold they say, but tonight's cathartic vengeance was served on a warm teacup, full of anger, with a spoonful of old-fashioned bottled up hate, that tho deserved was nothing but climactic retaliation on a story that has now become greater than it was.
The stakes just got raised to 11 in this winter mid-season finale, Alice has graduated to top of her class on Gotham's villains, and our hero's life is completely left in shambles and shattered into a thousand pieces once again.
Kate Kane is on a hero's journey, and a tough one at that. She has to now put away all her feelings for her long-lost sister away and defeat her to become the hero Gotham deserves.

It's getting better and better

This show doesn't deserve 3/10 rating at all.
I would give it 7/10 or 8/10.
The episodes are keep getting better and better and we have Alice to thank for that.
The shows has some cons, but definitely doesn't deserve to be treated like this.

Have to be from someone involved with making this show. People keep saying it's getting better and the acting is good but that's all a lie. Alice is still a terrible cringe with her "Alice in wonderland" junk, or the step sister saying "whuuuudduuuup".... ugh. Or my favorite ruby rose line "I hate her sooo much dad". I had to rewind that several times just for the laughs. Also typical plot holes and other nonsense that were just convenient ways to excuse the writers laziness. Sadly I'll continue to keep up with it just to see how far they'll let this go before giving up and admitting this show needs to go.

I really wanted to give this show a chance. I was really looking forward to enjoying it. Unfortunately, it is poorly written and poorly paste. I like the cast. They are doing the best they can with what they have to work with. Unfortunately, the storylines are bland and I am an interested in any of the characters.
Favourite New Show of the Season
daxdsnine12 December 2019
With about 1/2 of the season done, I can say this show began strongly, and is doing very well. This episode -- NO SPOILERS--, in particular, delt aptly with stuff that was introduced earlier. They don't loose time advancing the story. There are a lot of great moments in that show, very well written scenes, and the actors - the whole cast - are very good at portraying their characters.
This show doesn't deserve the ridiculously bad reviews it got here. That some people don't like it, sure. But 1 star? Come on! Only childish haters are giving that!

Batwoman the worst supervillain antihero
Ghostcrow_Opin9 March 2020
If you are going to be a superhero or even a hero, Don't let the bad guy go and commit even more more crimes, murders etc. This show has some showrunner whos best quality is their pink hair and cringeness.
This is Sostuupid. Please cancel the show. And when Batwoman tries to higher her voice it sounds soo bad, screeeechy.

One of the craziest mid-season finales ever
joshuagailey15 December 2019
The show has received a lot of hate but it's hard to imagine that any fair minded source could consider this episode boring. Tensions were high and the acting was great especially Skarsten's. Overall great episode, can't wait to see what happens next.
A Mad Tea Party!!!!
jamiulsoldier2 December 2019
Shiwrunners, writers are handling Alice very smoothly and nicely, this character is well written, this episode was really fantastic!! And yes, Ruby Rose is the perfect comic accurate cast for BATWOMAN! She is gradually improving!! ✌😎
WOW
brennanhammond9 December 2019
This show definitely changed, I was actually interested in what Alice was trying to do, I wanted to see Kate finally realize that Alice is not worth everything she has sacrificed I enjoyed the story and the character development, which is the first we've had so far
10 for honesty.

Marvel fans, kindly watch Daredevil instead!
asb_deutsch7 December 2019
Seriously, there are pros in this episode along with the cons. Potentially, this is getting stonger after each episode. Why the agressive backlash? I mean the acting and script is fine. We get to see the real Alice.
You can't compare this with Daredevil. And not every episode of Daredevil was perfect. It had its flaws too. If the mass production doesn't like Batwoman, they should not be biased against DC by giving bad ratings!
