Some find the dialogue and action scenes unrealistic, and are discontent with the show's handling of political and social agendas.

Featured reviews
IMO, the show did not do justice to the source material or the character of Batwoman-also, the dialogue and character development were subpar. Additionally, the show faced behind-the-scenes controversy, including the departure of Ruby Rose after the first season and allegations of a toxic work environment, Which I think was the final nail in the coffin.
Overall, opinions on the quality of "Batwoman" vary, with some viewers enjoying the show and others finding it lacking. Ultimately, whether or not the show is "bad" is subjective and depends on individual opinions, but I know it is not for me. I felt I wasted my time.

They should cancel the show. The animated Harley Quinn series is way better than this bullsh-
I wanted to like this. I've seen all the DC shows in the last few years but this is one I can't continue even if I was paid too.
3/10 is being VERY generous.
The screenplay alone is TERRIBLE. Characters aren't relatable at all, not to mention the acting is very sub-par. Once you get deeper into the first ep things become so predictable.
I'm all for inclusiveness but its 2019 and this show trys to go all out with straight, bi, lesbian relationships.. and somehow misses the mark on every level. Almost nobody seems to be pleased at all, which is very telling.
Ruby can do her own stunts and get injured all she wants. The action doesn't make up for the rest unfortunately.
Just watch it if you must but be prepared to want an hour of your life back!

She is a biker lesbian with short hair, Ramones t-shirt and possible anger issues. Could they have put anymore stereotypes into one character? I felt like they drop you into the middle of a story. There is so much back story about her family, her ex-girlfriend, her personal life, Bruce Wayne/Batman and Gotham that isn't discussed. Not to mention that security guard seems to know a little too much.
Bottom line the storyline felt rushed and the character seems to be a walking lesbian stereotype from the 80s. As a huge Batman fan I was excited to see this as a member of the LGBT community I'm concerned where it is going to head when it opens with a lesbian character defined by such close-minded stereotypes. Hopefully it joins us in the 21st century where a women knowing martial arts and ridding a motorcycle doesn't make her a lesbian.

I made it about 1/3 the way thru the 1st season.
The cast was good. The sets and costumes were good. The writing was awful. I mean bottom of the barrel, looking up at horrible bad writing.
I was not surprised when Ruby Rose left.
I was surprised they tried for season 2.

- TriviaIn the DC Comics, Mary Elizabeth "Bette" Kane is the original Bat-Girl and served as Batwoman's sidekick and Robin's counterpart. Growing up she would adopt the alias Flamebird (and later Hawkfire) in response to her counterpart's development as Nightwing. In the comics she is Kate Kane's younger cousin instead of her step-sister.
- GoofsBatwoman clearly has black paint around her eyes whenever she wears the cowl. But whenever she takes the cowl off, there's never any paint around her eyes. This happens in several episodes and is common amongst many superhero/comic book shows with masked characters.
- Crazy creditsThe Warner Bros and DC Comics logos are colored red and black (Batwoman's colours), are set in Gotham City and have bats flying around.
