The early seasons were great, but for me, when Rip Hunter (Dr. Who’s Arthur Darvill) left, that’s when it began to slide. We bailed after the start of season 6 because it had became too schlocky. The Golden Age of the Arrowverse are sadly missed.
Donald Faison was signed on for season nine but it was always in doubt due to the network holding out on a renewal. Quite a lot of CW shows ending this season.
The CW may be ending as well, ViacomCBS and WarnerMedia may sell The CW, this may be a clue to why the mostly Greg Berlanti produced DC Arrowverse shows are facing cancellation, that and a fall off of audience appeal which it has to be said has effected other super hero franchises as well, as they become unrecognizable to DC and Marvel comic book superhero fans.
