It's ok if a little bit too formulaic. Honestly, one of my pet peeves when I got out of comics a couple of years ago was the overuse of time-travel/alternate reality storylines. Everyone was doing it, the X-titles had the young X-men come to the future, the Avengers were in an alternate reality where Kang's kids conquered the world, Teen Titans had their older selves, Flashpoint, Convergence, Spider-man Spider-verse, Secret Wars; it's such a tired plot device that I wish the big two would put a moratorium on it. Even now I look at current books and the X-men are in the future facing Apocalypse. So a TV show about time travel isn't all that appealing to me, especially when they're taking an extreme amount of liberty with characters and their histories way more than any of the other CW shows.
