Absorbing, Great acting, Honest

Quirky, Delightful, Entertaining, Poignant, Funny

See it if you love Batman. Jason's appreciation for the character and all he can mean is clear in every moment of the show, and really resonates.

Don't see it if you have no interest in superheroes or don't think that fictional characters can make a very real impact on the lives of those who love them
