I'm waiting for it to hit Netflix next week. I got through maybe 4-5 episodes and liked it, but it was getting hard trying to keep up with it every week.

Last two episodes definitely upped the stakes and generated a lot more mythology.
Im not keen on the plot twist at the end. I feel like there are way too many literary undertones.
Regardless, I was very surprised how this show shifted and got running in a short season. I hope next season is somewhere in the 13-18 range so they can keep the stories tight.
Also, props on the final song of the season.

Excited to have this back!
Also, it was already renewed for a 3rd season. I think they were worried about a writers strike, but perhaps more fortuitous with the current pandemic...

Pretty solid opener. It jumped around in the second half to service plot though. I wish they’d taken some more time to focus on how everybody was dealing with the situation.
Big developments for Rosa and Isobel though!

Good episode this week. A lot of plot advancements across the board, and good character interactions. Was good seeing some old faces again. However, I particularly enjoyed the 47 flashbacks.
I wonder what the backstory with Deluca’s mother is. Maybe it’s possible there are hybrids in the population that have half powers?
I thought I read Jason Behr is supposed to guest star. Would be amazing if he’s a parallel earth Max Evans from the original series. The old WB show had an episode where future Max traveled back in time. Why not parallel earth’s?!

Anybody watch the last episode Sex and Candy?
I know the end of the last episode had a 3 week time jump, but between that and this episode plots were all over the place. It’s like they didn’t know what to do with Max. Likewise, in the span of an episode they resolved everything between him and Liz? I get not sitting on a storyline, but that plot probably would have been a good half to whole season on other shows.
Also, this ep had one of the weirdest things I’ve seen on a show perhaps ever too. And I certainly don’t mean that in a good way.
Random interesting tidbit - this episode featured Eagle Eye Cherry, which was also used in the pilot for the original show!

If I never saw the first (original) series would I be lost watching this reboot from the beginning or does it stand alone?

So I actually stopped watching this after the Sex and Candy episode. The ending was just too weird and made no sense after a terrible episode. It really turned me off.
However, this kept popping up in my Netflix feed and I figured I’d see how the season ended. Interestingly pretty well, although with a lot of plot developments. One of the highlights for me were the flashbacks to the 40s. I wish we could have seen more of that. I didn’t much care for the big reveal at the end, but we’ll see where it goes I suppose.
Season 3 is currently on 5 episode rotation on CW app so I’ll have to wait to watch any more. I think it will come to Netflix, but their shows are spilt on agreement as that partnership is phasing out.

This show will always be available on Netflix 8 days after the finale. Everything pre-2019 Fall Season on CW has this Netflix deal. I believe BatWomen, Katy Keene, Nancy Drew first seasons were there first shows to not be a part of this deal (hence being on HBO Max and I think Paramount Plus?)

To answer Superman's question. Roswell's most recent season is coming out October 26th on Netflix.
Right now this leftover deal with Netflix is very inconsistent. Legends of Tomorrow's 6th season ended last month and is still not on Netflix. Also, Legacies 3rd season ended in June and is also not on Netflix.
Any new shows that came out after 2019 are now all headed to HBO Max. Nancy Drew was suppose to get to Paramount + initially, but it changed.

I completed season 3 via Netflix. I think on the whole it was better than season 2. I believe the original show runner left, so there was some
new creative forces. Of course they had to deal with the S2 cliffhanger so they largely dictated the course of the season.
I definitely felt like there was a more cohesive narrative to the season and each of the characters had their own arcs. They were also able to build out the mythology, which I expect to continue into season 4 give the closing scene of the last episode.
There are a few new characters introduced as well, which I think help add some fresh energy and narrative options in the future.
It’s enjoyable. I don’t think it breaks any new ground, but I like the “they’re adults” angle and it deals with some hot topics in today’s world which is key for sci-fi.

Not sure if anybody is still watching this. The 4th season started earlier in the summer. I’ve been enjoying the story so far as it seems a lot more focused than previous seasons. They (seem) to have gotten rid of some characters while introducing new ones that help the story.
If you didn’t hear though this was cancelled (or not renewed) as part of the huge CW change. I haven’t seen any interviews, but I hope they’re able to finish their story. There wasn’t any news at the time, but after Legacies finished I saw Julie Plec say they had a sense and wrapped that up as best they could. I hope the same is true here.

I still need to watch the back half of the season, but can you tell me one little spoiler, Liz's fate is not an unhappy one, correct? At least I hope so.
