How To Watch Dc Tv Shows In Order 2021
Okay, let's talk about DC TV shows. Specifically, watching them in order. In 2021. Buckle up!
The “Official” Order? Nah.
Everyone's got a list. A super serious, meticulously crafted list. It involves spreadsheets, maybe even algorithms. But honestly? Who has time for that?
My opinion might be controversial. I might get tomatoes thrown at me. But I'm going to say it anyway: Forget the official order!

Why the "Official" Order is a Pain
Think about it. You're constantly switching shows. One episode of The Flash. Then two of Supergirl. Next, an episode of Legends of Tomorrow.
It's exhausting. It's like trying to juggle flaming chainsaws while riding a unicycle. A very frustrating unicycle.
And let’s be honest, some shows aren't created equal. (Sorry, not sorry.)
My (Slightly Heretical) Viewing Method
Here's my secret. I pick a show. Any show in the Arrowverse. And I stick with it.
Watch a whole season of Arrow? Do it! Binge Batwoman until your eyes cross? Go for it! Immerse yourself completely in the world of Superman & Lois? Absolutely!
This way, you actually remember what's going on. You get invested in the characters. You don't need a PhD in DC Comics lore to follow the plot.
But What About Crossovers?!
I hear you. The big crossover events are a thing. But here's another unpopular opinion: you can usually figure it out. Seriously.
The shows do a decent job of explaining the basics. Plus, recaps exist. So, if you miss a minor detail, it's not the end of the world.
Worst case scenario? Google it. The internet is your friend.
The Real Secret: Enjoy Yourself
Look, we're watching superhero shows. These shows are supposed to be fun! This isn't a thesis. This is entertainment.
Don't let the "perfect" watch order ruin your enjoyment. If you like a character or show, watch it! If not, skip it.
My viewing order isn't some groundbreaking strategy. It's just...simpler. Less stressful. More enjoyable. Which is what watching DC TV should be!
Bonus Tip: Start Where You Want
Don’t feel like you have to start with Arrow. Maybe you love Supergirl’s optimism. Or The Flash's speed. Start there!
Jump in wherever sparks joy. Work backwards or forwards as you please. There’s no TV police (yet).
Just promise me one thing. Don't spend more time planning your watch order than actually watching the shows. Deal?
Final Thoughts (Probably Controversial)
So, there you have it. My (probably) deeply unpopular way to watch DC shows in 2021. Or any year, really.
Embrace the chaos! Embrace the binge-watching! Embrace the fact that you get to decide what you watch and when.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rewatch Legends of Tomorrow. Because, frankly, it's the best. (Don't @ me.)
