I watched the first couple episodes and while I enjoyed the concept, it was too teenage melodrama-y for my taste. To each their own.
It gets better, like waaaaayyyyy better, around episode 5 or 6.
The melodrama is still there, as any work of fiction that is set in high school should, but the pace starts picking up once the team starts coming together. Of course, I am watching the show as someone who's read a lot of the stuff this is based off of so some of my joy just might be coming from a "Wow, they're really incorporating all of
that from the comics" stance. Also the few changes they have made from the comics only serve to improve the story from my point of view.
The cinematography on this show is probably the best overall in superhero TV aside from some of the gimmicky tracking shots in
Daredevil and the VFX work is employed well enough that the show can stay on budget without occasionally looking really really cheap and/or having to fire their most expensive cast members *coughcoughLegendsofTomorrowcough*
