What's with the (undeserved) hatred?
Coming from a conservative Christian POV, I, of all people, should-at least, on paper-hate this show. I really, really dislike all the uber-liberal, uber-feminist, and LGBT stuff in the Arrowverse shows. Supergirl is the worst offender by far in this regard. Show strong women, no problem-but why make the men incompetent buffoons in doing so? Why make the storylines utterly moronic? Why the horrible writing and directing?
Anyway, that's why, when I heard Batwoman would be a lesbian, I was prepared for the worst, and the terrible rating only strengthened my fears. But I decided to give it a chance (mostly because I want to be ready for the upcoming Crisis crossover). So yes, the focus on her sexual orientation in the show is definitely something I could do without. But in all honesty? The rest of the show is actually really decent so far (disclaimer: I'm only 2 episodes in). Sure, it's no The Dark Knight, but it's a lot more... grounded? realistic? ... than anything else in the Arrowverse (with the possible exception of Black Lightning). Though not perfect, most of the core characters have believable motivations and reactions to situations. I'm not repeating "That's so STUPID!" to myself every 5 minutes like I do with Supergirl (which I watch purely for the crossover events) or Legends. It's just a really decent show.
