There's been a lot of online chatter about this show, what they did wrong, what they did right etc., but in the end, season one has done what it set out to do. It tells the story it wanted to tell clearly and interestingly as an Green Lantern meets True Detective style series. The real question is does that work for you as an audience member? For fans, there are quite a few references and perhaps hints of what is to come, and we are definitely interested in seeing season two.
