Penny Dreadful: City of Angels
Has some okay moments but this carries the PD name purely for attention, it has nothing in common at all and even if it did it would pale by the comparison. Not sure I have a second run in me.
The Office: Season 08
The idea's well is definitely dryer this season with some repetition of past arcs but it definitely gets too much of a drubbing for the loss of Michael.
Arrow: Season 08
This shortened final season follows Oliver's march towards Crisis. It's been well covered how we long wanted out and it reeks of it in this tired needless run which is mostly filler to the main event. Two episodes take place in Crisis's wake to wrap things up and make an even worse impression with the first used as a backdoor pilot to a spin-off set in 2040 with his daughter and two of the Canaries in what is absolutely identical action to Arrow but with characters you care less about about, a pointless ep for a pointless spin-off. The final attempts some sort of wrap up but with most of the characters having been MIA, time reworked etc it's a tired putter to an end of a show that ran far too long.
Crisis on Infinite Earths
The closest thing to Endgame on TV. I know of Crisis but didn't know the specifics of how it pans out so this was interesting for that alone, especially as this lacks the necessary budget but it did enough to show what scale of event the DCU could accomplish if Warner's got its act together. It's five episodes long and could have cut at least one of them but the second and third eps are probably the peak with the most cameo's, cross overs and events in them. Some of the cameo's are criminally short but the end does a decent job of aligning the various shows in a more sensical order and worth it for stuff like this:
