Love, Victor: Season 2 (2021) 100% EDIT “It ultimately succeeds because it maintains that one thing that made its first season such a joy: Heart.” – What Culture Jun 16, 2021 Full Review 13 Reasons Why: Season 4 (2020) 25% EDIT “It's not always successful, but it does have its moments, offering up some refreshing character journeys along the way. As for some of the more infuriating moments, they are, as always, elevated by an incredibly talented cast.” – What Culture Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Batwoman: Season 1 (2019) 80% EDIT “It's a unique offering that has so much more to say than its trailers suggested and, with a little room to grow, all that potential could carry it to greatness.” – What Culture May 11, 2020 Full Review After Life: Season 2 (2020) 79% EDIT “The second season of After Life is a worthy follow-up to its successor, but it only occasionally reaches the same heights - and when it does, it takes a little too long getting there.” – What Culture May 8, 2020 Full Review The Flash: Season 6, Episode 11 (2020) EDIT “All in all, this one was a major step backwards for the show and its new direction. A fun little offering on the surface but, save for a moment or two, one that failed to offer much substance below it.” – What Culture Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Arrow: Season 8, Episode 10 (2020) EDIT “"Fadeout" did its best to wrap up as many of the show's long-running narratives while also weaving in a few enjoyable nods to the past for good measure.” – What Culture Jan 29, 2020 Full Review Arrow: Season 8, Episode 9 (2020) EDIT “"Green Arrow and The Canaries" successfully set up a series that promises to be every bit as engaging as its predecessor, while also showcasing some of the Arrowverse's most under-appreciated actors.” – What Culture Jan 22, 2020 Full Review Arrow: Season 8, Episode 8 (2020) EDIT “Not only was this a neat way of revisiting some of Arrow's best moments - especially since the show is about to bow out -- it was a highlight reel of sorts for Oliver Queen.” – What Culture Jan 15, 2020 Full Review The Flash: Season 6, Episode 9 (2019) EDIT “'Crisis On Infinite Earths, Part Three' offered elements of both, pulling the trigger on the Crisis of Earth-1, all while serving as a midseason finale of sorts with an ending that will undoubtedly keep us all in suspense for the next month.” – What Culture Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Batwoman: Season 1, Episode 9 (2019) EDIT “Batwoman's offering of the crossover successfully follows a strong opener... allows us to catch up with some of our Smallville favourites in a surprisingly character-driven affair - all while managing to bring the main villain into play.” – What Culture Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Supergirl: Season 5, Episode 9 (2019) EDIT “Thankfully, it was an opening that succeeded, kicking off TV's biggest crossover with an offering that set the stage for grander adventures to come.” – What Culture Dec 11, 2019 Full Review V Wars: Season 1 (2019) 60% EDIT “All in all, V Wars is a thrilling well-paced ride that offers its own unique contribution to the somewhat overcrowded vampire genre, and though not everything is perfect, it's damn good fun that compels you to keep watching.” – What Culture Dec 9, 2019 Full Review The Flash: Season 6, Episode 8 (2019) EDIT “The urgency of his rampage made for a thrilling edge-of-seat adventure that successfully managed to set the stage for Crisis On Infinite Earths.” – What Culture Dec 6, 2019 Full Review The Flash: Season 6, Episode 7 (2019) EDIT “One of the best episodes of The Flash in years.” – What Culture Dec 5, 2019 Full Review Arrow: Season 8, Episode 7 (2019) EDIT “A love letter to Season 1, the aptly titled 'Purgatory' takes Arrow right back to the beginning in order to propel it towards the end, and the result is poignant trip down memory lane that successfully kicks off the Crisis.” – What Culture Dec 4, 2019 Full Review Arrow: Season 8, Episode 6 (2019) EDIT “A thoroughly compelling character-driven narrative that brought closure to some of the show's most important storylines and steered this season in another unexpected direction.” – What Culture Nov 27, 2019 Full Review Titans: Season 2 (2019) 81% EDIT “This hard-hitting drama provided much of the talented cast with some juicy material, while also allowing the show to continue to go from strength-to-strength.” – What Culture Nov 21, 2019 Full Review Arrow: Season 8, Episode 5 (2019) EDIT “This character-driven piece was successful in its attempts to reflect, while also managing to move the pieces on the chessboard in a somewhat unexpected direction - setting the stage for an even more interesting second half.” – What Culture Nov 20, 2019 Full Review The Flash: Season 6, Episode 3 (2019) EDIT “More than anything, continued the season's successful trend of imbuing villain-of-the-week adventures with a lot more stakes than expected.” – What Culture Nov 13, 2019 Full Review Arrow: Season 8, Episode 4 (2019) EDIT “"Present Tense" picked up where that cliffhanger left off, successfully bringing the past and present together in what was yet another strong offering from what is shaping up to be one heck of a final season.” – What Culture Nov 6, 2019 Full Review The Flash: Season 6, Episode 4 (2019) EDIT “Once again, both narratives complemented each other really well and produced a Halloween-themed episode with real heart.” – What Culture Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Arrow: Season 8, Episode 3 (2019) EDIT “Capped off by another jaw-dropping cliffhanger that threatens to change the Arrowverse forever, and the whole thing was executed to perfection by some stunning direction from Katie Cassidy.” – What Culture Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Arrow: Season 8, Episode 2 (2019) EDIT “Another strong offering, it accomplished exactly what it set out to do -- once again making us all nostalgic along the way.” – What Culture Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Arrow: Season 8, Episode 1 (2019) EDIT “A nostalgic thrill-ride that paid tribute to the past while setting up the future. A thrill-ride that may just be Arrow's best season premiere ever.” – What Culture Oct 16, 2019 Full Review Riverdale: Season 4, Episode 1 (2019) EDIT “It's a rare thing for Riverdale to produce something of perfection, but this premiere was nothing short of magnificence.” – What Culture Oct 11, 2019 Full Review
