Not the best pilot but not the worst either
It's simplistic and basic. It's not awful or spectacular. There are moments that could use improvement, and there are moments that seem impressive and worth exploring.
I particularly am interested in Sophie, Catherine, and Mary's stories; I'd love to see them done right. I also wonder if Luke will be subjected to the errand tech boy trope; I hope not. It'd be nice if he were both geeky and suave (it's possible!), and not get stepped on by the white woman (it's a common trope among white feminist shows led by white women to have their white leads step on the men of color).
I hope by episode three, Rose's performance improves because in this episode she felt extremely stiff and dry. I've read some reviews by critics saying her performance is the same in episode two. This is my only problem with this show.
It's a nice, gritty and action/adventurous gothic noir superhero series. It fits in with the Arrowverse perfectly. It carries the same flaws and strengths as the Arrowverse, and it definitely feels niche. I particularly like to see Black women and Asian women in diverse roles. I hope they are all fully fleshed out and done justice.
