I have finally watched the first 2 episodes of #NAOMI and is time to give me my first impressions about it. The original comic is one of the best things DC did recently, so the show live up to the level of quality?

I wish to say i have really enjoyed what i saw, but the series have a rough start. The episodes were well directed (including the one made by showrunner Ava) but the script itself have some issues what pop out when you actually shoot them. #NAOMI

Specially in the pilot, the writing makes a REAL effort to highlight HOW COOL Naomi is to basicly everyone, and they doesn't do that in most natural way. Kaci Wallfall did a good job as the protagonist, but i dont see yet a material what could bring her A Game. #NAOMI

Also, the show WAY TO MANY supporting characters, in special on the high school section. Most of them just serves a pratical function in the script (We need help! Character A helps. Something happen along the way! Character B comes to rescue) #NAOMI

Most of them doesnt feel like real characters, and most of the times the focus on the events happens so much on #NAOMI (rightfully) that have no room to give them real purpose instead of just help Naomi along the way.

Of all that, the most fleshed out character from that section is really one from the comics, #NAOMI's best friend Annabelle. The rest of the (adult) supporting characters overall are better worked than the younger ones, and have some pratical functional in the overall history.

I liked Dee, #NAOMI's parents, even Zumbado (which have a presence, but again, doesnt show his A game yet). And besides the angle of "DC universe is a working of fiction what was proven reality ibn our real word", certain things still bothered me about it. [+]

For example, Superman is a comics character, and then BOOM, he appearsm but apparently in that Universe DC never publish Hawkman stories. #NAOMI

I know this was made to paid off the Multiverse aspect which is essential to #NAOMI's history, but the approach have their pratical problems for those what actually read comics, what the show pushes you to do the obvious questions to just see history unfolds.

The second episode was better than the first one, but still nothing what you can consider like GOOD TV. I'll keep watching until the first season ends, and i know the series have room for improvement, #NAOMI [+]

but #NAOMI doesn't have a strong start like for example Black Lighting or S2 of Batwoman had, right off the bat.

But if the showrunners do ajustments along the way, season 1 can end delivering the show something as fresh and exciting as the original comics are, and they have a team what could pull this off. for me, is just a fact of showing service. #NAOMI

Watch #NAOMI on @TheCW and on the CW App. And here is the trailer of S01E04, which looks like the show is FINALLY delivering the goods.
