Save yourself. Don't waste your time. You'll do nothing but lose brain cells. And just possibly throw something at your TV.

You actually do get attached to the characters. Yes, I'm a sucker for blind kids. Go figure. And the acting is good for the most part. It has some very fine actors in it.

But they ultimately can't save the series.

The problem is not the acting but the writing. The plot is sometimes incredulous and some of the scenes downright silly.

But the I ultimate problem is, at the end, I felt like I had been manipulated.

SPOILER BELOW. STOP IF YOU DON'T WANT IT SPOILED.

It ends in unadulterated BS. Because it justifies terrorism, in fact worldwide chaos, death and destruction, all in the name of the false god of climate change. Because save the Earth by killing off half its population, which is what would happen.

I had some of this author's books on my wish list. No longer. I don't want to be subjected to, nor support, any of his utter nonsense. Entertain me. Don't try to indoctrinate me.

The real Batman is Bruce Wayne. He lives in Wayne Manor, a mansion. He runs a very successful mega-corporation. He has many friends. He smiles and functions well in society. He is always about town, going to parties and charity events. At the same time, he is a man dealing with a painful past and still fights sone personal demons. It's what drives him to become a crime fighter.

This "Batman" is none of those those things. He's a brooding, dour, depressing autobot. He's a recluse that lives in a tenement-like penthouse. He smiles never-not once in the entire 3 hours. Who runs Wayne Industries? I don't know if it even exists. Gotham isn't a city with many good people and a few very bad apples. It's an apocalyptic hell-hole where it's never daytime.
