I was very happy with the show.

I couldn’t watch the Ryan Reynolds version. Complaining that there wasn’t enough special effects is a bit like saying there should have been more explosions in ‘Dr. Strangelove.’

I haven’t watched the most recent couple episodes, but I kind of agree. We barely see any actual Lantern stuff.

It’s still a cool show though.
