OK, the show starts off pretty well & gets better & better every week. I was about 52 y/o when this was making its first run & this was a show I looked forward to & got up early for & loved beyond words.
One of the most amazing parts of the show is the teamwork & friendships that build & get more complex & sometimes relationships became agonizingly to watch. I have seen millions of characters get smoked on TV & such & when someone in this show makes a supreme sacrifice, I screamed "NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! & it hurt & the story is just getting started. Waiting till next Saturday was exciting & nerve wracking. And then the whole story takes a big step to the left & engages ultra warp.
I am not familiar w/ G/L comics recently but those who are will be happy to see the whole color spectrum & allusions to Black Lanterns for the next DVD/season/who knows?
I am gonna steal a line or two from a review on Netflix.
Part of its success is that Green Lantern is not the focus of a lot of the plot. In the end, the show is about whether love is worth a damn at all, and it's really, really compelling. Hard to exaggerate how good this single season is.
The above paragraph I credit to an unknown Fan on the Netflix site.
Over the last few years I as probably all of you have faced challenges & I swear, I keep the Blue Lantern Oath in mind.
I was at an esoteric chakra energizing event & I used the Blue Lantern Oath & Hope in the stars & I swear it manifested beautiful energy everywhere & had about 9 people in the room riding along. Tears of joy & smiles all round the room that night.
Now back to the show. Music is beautiful & the creator Frederik Wiedmann is off to big stuff with a boost to his career from the wonderful job done here.
The show is great for old & young & boy I wish I had stuff like this to watch with my dad 45 years ago.
When the story takes an arc from love gone wrong in part2 of the season it is unsurpassed in anything I have ever seen on TV & even in Sci/FI it takes something like "Stranger in A Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein to beat it!
The final 8 episodes were just so amazing, I have been waiting for over a year to watch again & enjoy it like new (or try).
If you are him hahing about watching or buying this show, look at netflix reviews. Every day a new one comes up, always 5 stars & always "my god, how could they cancel the best thing they ever saw?".
Kiliwog & razor start out not to chummy & by ep4 they are shaking hands, and ep26 farewell speech........... is too beautiful for me to hack up here.
Remember,
In Fearful Day, In Raging Night WITH STRONG HEARTS FULL, OUR SOULS IGNITE When all seems lost in the war of light LOOK TO THE STARS, FOR HOPE BURNS BRIGHT.
Seriously, this show is pure beauty in motion.
score 10/10
