OMG Smallville,
I used to live for Saturday afternoon to watch episodes of Smalllville and end u feeling frustrated when they ended on a cliff hanger..until next saturday lol!
Arrow is a great show and I think it’s nice that they’re now linking the DC Superheroes in TV. I’ve never watched Constantine before, I definitely should catch up!
I must admit that I do not know most of these series…just not my genre but it is fascinating to read your review and comments.
I used to watch Smallville and Constantine. The latter, I have loved ever since Keanu Reeves starred in the movie. 🙂
I always get a chuckle out of that Dwayne Johnson meme, good recs here though! Supergirl’s a good one though I would probably watch Constantine next.
My son is a huge Flash fan. I have to admit, it’s pretty good. 🙂
Honestly I have never watched the this show before, but your other recommendations sounds really great & interesting. Constantine is something I would love to watch as I like horror television shows anytime!
