I’m Brazilian, and for many years, my family and I watched a lot of superhero shows, mainly the ones from the CW. I read some comics, so I always knew that shows like Smallville, Arrow, etc., would eventually end.
As the years went, I realized that CW shows weren’t exactly seen in the best light, at least from a critical standpoint. No big deal.
Then there was the rise of more well-produced series, the death of the weak ones…
My parents have a soft spot for police and forensic investigation shows—they love CSI. I don’t necessarily wonder how CSI and similar shows lasted so many seasons, since I grew up watching Smallville for 10 years, lol. That’s where my curiosity about how people view these kinds of shows comes from. How are shows like SWAT and others generally perceived by the public?
Please don’t think I’m making fun of them—I actually find it interesting. And don’t forget, I used to get hyped to watch Batwoman, so… no judgment here, haha.
