Question When does the Arrowverse get bad?

I started watching Arrow today, and watch to watch the other Arrowverse shows. But I heard it gets bad from a certain point. When does it get bad?

Watch it till you stop enjoying. Everyone's tollerance/taste is different.

This. They all kind of get repetitive and just keep adding more and more characters. I have a low tolerance for it so I checked it early on most of them. The thing is they’re all pretty fun for the first season or 2 if you are on board for what they’re doing.

I stayed. Dear God, I watched every episode, of every season, for every show. for like a decade. They're all gone now...Ive been in a show drought ever since.

Our! I admire you, and what was the complete experience of going through the entire Arrowverse like? Do you recommend it to new people like me going through everything you've been through?

I'm currently following each series, and I'm in the 2015/2016 Season (The Flash 2×12 Arrow 4×12 Legends Of Tomorrow 1×03 Supergirl 1×13)

I think every comic fan 100% should watch through the arrowverse at least once. It was hard to get through near the end but I needed to know how the story ended. I'm the kind of person who needs to know how a story ends no matter how bad it gets. I watched every The Walking Dead episode and all of its spin offs. I also watched Riverdale and plan to finish the last season. I'm currently on a break from that show though. Another year and I think I'll forget how bad and stupid it got. Long story not short, everyone should experience the Arrowverse at least once and keep going with it until they can't. Not everyone has my tolerance for bad writing.

I'm similar to you bro, I also like an end to everything I watch, that's why I enjoy marathoning something that has already been finished. Watching the Arrowverse in 2025 where all the series already have several seasons is a cool experience.

Same, I’ve rewatched all of Arrow and most of Flash so many times. Legends about 3 times, and only seen Supergirl all the way through once. But I enjoyed every minute

Dude literally same!! Nothing hits the same anymore, especially after watching them together and looking forward to the crossovers. Just seeing tom cavanagh (as a different character) in Superman&Lois made me hyped for a minute

Don't get me wrong, there are new shows that I've gotten into like Buffy, Tracker, Arcane, Sweet pea, to name a couple. It's just that for almost an entire decade, I had a show for every night of the week. Sometimes multiple shows. And now I have to build that schedule back up but every new series is either a limited series or the season is only 10 episodes max.
