While I am still waiting for The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina joins us on the 26th, but there is a lot to watch in the build up, including the entire third season of Daredevil, and new show Titans that I missed letting you know about last week. Supergirl and Arrow return as well, as Kara takes her turn as a mild manner reporter, and Oliver is the new black as Arrow starts out in prison. The Flash spends some quality time with his adult daughter, and Jefferson leaves his principal job on Black Lightning. Titans adds two more “heroes” to the four they introduced in their pilot last week.
In other universes, The X-Millenials try to get some more allies as the aforementioned Devil of Hell’s Kitchen returns to after having gone missing. Riverdale begins setting up new storylines with their second episode instead of their first for this season.
