Lanterns
Has anyone else been watching Lanterns on HBO? I read the comic book as a kid, and this is "not" that Green Lantern. That being said, I'm enjoying this "darker" version of what may be the future of the character.

I turned it off when they started talking about white privilege.

I keep seeing clips on YouTube and it looks interesting, but I’m seeing 30 seconds at a time. It seems like Hal Jordan seems to be retiring from the Corps and is training Jon as his replacement?

It does have some wokeness in regards to John Stewarts character and how/when he was selected. However, the dialogue between him and Hal Jordan is very entertaining. Kyle Chandler, who plays Jordan, is hilarious in my opinion.

We are watching it. I'm enjoying it.

It won't win any awards. But it keeps me interested.
