I must be the only one who really likes Gotham. :(
 
Arrow
Flash
Gotham

I enjoy Gotham to varying degrees. I love Arrow and the Flash though. I seem to be one of the few who has enjoyed this season of Arrow. It hasn't been very focused, I agree, but I think it is starting to come together. Flash definitely has the potential to be better. It's cheesy at times but full of heart. I wanna see how it ends before I put it above Arrow though.

Of all shows, I still think the Arrow season 1 finale and season 2 midseason finale were the most incredible episodes of all the shows
 
The Flash
It's the only one of those shows I'm watching, and I enjoy it a lot.
I must be the only one who really likes Gotham. :(
I might enjoy it if I watched it, but I don't care about Gotham stories before Batman or without him.
In the comics I can take them, for an adaption I don't care.

It's OK but miles behind the others for me, I don't think Gotham's found its feet yet. It's very inconsistent tonally for one, it's like it doesn't know if it's a serious show or not.
 
I like Gotham,the flash,and arrow.I just would put the flash as best of dc's 3 shows i watch.

The Flash. Not just the best DC TV show, but the best Superhero show on TV right now.
 
I think I would've liked Gotham a bit more of the main character were Cobblepot, or Crane, or whomever becomes the Joker as opposed to Gordon. Cobblepot gives you an eye into the mob, Crane a look into the psyche of the emerging freaks, and Joker would work well as a Pierrot esque figure chasing Columbine.
 
The Flash. Not just the best DC TV show, but the best Superhero show on TV right now.

You're probably right on the money with that even though I prefer Constantine over it. Tough I've not seen Agent Carter and people say that's really good.
 
This is easy for me. Back when arrow started I watched the first like 8 episodes and then gave up on it has it was borning doll and bad. Gothma about half the episodes are good and half are tearable so it is a very hit or miss show and I think pengon is to much like the joker on the show and I have sever times thought about giving up on Gothma so I don't know why I haven't lol. Flash I am loving has it is giving me a smallville vibe and I loved smallville has I have all 10 seasons on dvd so with flash I cant weight to see what happens next. The another show on hear I have no interested in watching at all so flash is easily my choice for this.

I enjoy Flash, Arrow and Gotham. Constantine lost me at the second episode.

Of them all I think the Flash is the best, although Arrow is a close second.

All three shows have good casts, but Amell and Gustin are much more likeable than the guy who plays Jim Gordon (the rest of the Gotham cast are great) but Gordon himself is a bit boring.
The real stand-out is of course the Penguin, he's taken Batman's lamest enemy and made him genuinely creepy, menacing and interesting. The Dons are a bit dull, but Bullock and Alfred keep things moving along, and Jada Pinkett does crazy so well ! I would say that Gotham's had some absolutely great episodes and some that feel like filler.

I find Arrow has great moments, but tends to balance those with real cheesy moments. Just when something kick ass has happened Arrow makes some lame speech - and the voice is silly. Otherwise, the show has great action, and the cast have a nice chemistry.

Flash is the most consistent of the three, the developing sub- plot with Wells/Reverse Flash is great, and the other comic book characters have received good treatment.

Gustin has completely surprised me as the lead, he's likeable and you can't help cheering for him. I kind of wish they'd get a bit more consistent with the Flash's powers. Sure he can bit hit by surprise, but something he can see coming ?

Anyway, while the Arrow team have good chemistry the Flash team (Cisco, Caitlin, Joe and Wells) actually feel like a little family. Iris is a bit annoying but otherwise they're a fun bunch, and it's great to see John Wesley Shipp in there.

Also, the depiction of super-powers has been reasonably good.

So in terms of ratings. Flash 9/10 Arrow 8/10

Gotham 7.5/10 (average, some of the episodes, like the one where Bruce and Selina go on the run from the assassins are just magic, but there are a few that feel like they're just padding out the season).

Having said all that, any of those shows are more fun to watch than Agents of Shield or Agent Carter, even at their best.

I still don't know why Marvel makes tv shows about relative no-body's while
DC/WB/CW makes shows about more famous and well established characters.
 
I find these ratings interesting.

I enjoy all the shows quite a bit for what they are, which is network TV cheese with source material that demands my attention, but if I had to order them...

1. Flash: A full-blown superhero show, which is awesome and rare. Still very CW though, especially with Iris. Too many slo-mo shots of bad cg as well.

2. Constantine: A pretty decent Hellblazer adaptation, especially after the first couple episodes. Zed and Chas bring the show down a bit.

3. Gotham: A lot of cheese and tonal issues, yes, but I do really like the core story and most of the characters. The cinematography and sets really suck me into the world.

4. Arrow: An awesome origin/premise, but most episodes have pretty weak dramatic writing/dialogue. While Flash intentionally feels like a live-action cartoon, Arrow does it unintentionally. Most supporting characters are cheesy, and fights are starting to remind me of Power Rangers. But Oliver shooting (trick) arrows is always enough to entertain me.

Which series do you guy's see lasting the longest?

Unfortunately I don't think Constantine even if it did get a season 2 will go on for longer.
 
Definitely The Flash right now. It has some rough spots but overall it's been fantastic. Gustin and most of the core casts are great, and the Reverse Flash is one of the most intriguing mysteries on TV right now.

Really loved Arrow's first two seasons, but this latest one has me seriously concerned about the show's future. This is beginning to feel like Heroes Season 2 and I'm concerned the show may not recover.

Matt Ryan may be the best lead actor on any DC TV show... his Constantine is one for the ages. Unfortunately, the show itself hasn't quite found its way and it may not get a chance to improve due to ratings. I hope it makes it though.

Gotham has had some bright spots but overall it's just a hammy mess that can't figure out what type of show it wants to be. It's apparently getting good ratings though, so I guess that means that people will turn out for anything as long as you slap Batman on it.
