"Characters we've met a million times"

AWC, there superheroes that have been around since the 1940s and 1950s. Of course we'd meet them "many times". That part is basically irrelevant to almost all superhero shows.

Also, "Interesting" is a very subjective term. What isn't interesting to you might be interesting to someone else. I don't like the plotline of Arrow after Midseason 3, but only because Arrow kept getting more and more serious due to CW's nature.

Gotham is actually good because it's about someone you think you've met many times, but you haven't. How many times do you get to meet a younger Harvey Dent, or a younger Gordon? You don't. It's a TV show that does something different - It's not based entirely around batman like the 50 other TV shows that do the same thing.

Flash - Flash is probably one of the most interesting TV ongoing Superhero TV shows on TV right now. I mean, you get a better flash than the 1980s (I think) Flash TV show, you have Barry Allen at a younger age, and you get to see actual superpowers with fantastic special effects, and an engaging storyline. You can't get much better than that.

While I'm on the subject of plot lines, let's go with 2 others, one that's ending this next week.

Constantine. Constantine is one of the few things NBC has done completely right. It doesn't completely create a serious atmostphere like Arrow does, but it also doesn't go overboard with magic like The Flash does with superpowers, and it's still got the witty aspect to it that is John Constantine, not to mention it's written by the same guy who wrote the Nolan Batman Trilogy, and Man of Steel (Both, in my opinion, where very decently written). Constantine is probably the best superhero show on TV right now and it's ending next week.

And last but not least, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. If you want to go all out, you can't keep it to just DCTV, because Marvel also has a show that's almost has the runtime of Arrow. I've heard several mixed things about it, particularly the fact that it crosses over with the Marvel Cineverse, but other than that, it's as enjoyable as any marvel film after the first few episodes. I don't know enough about Marvel, but I can say that it's a unique approach to an already-existing genre.

So, to reiterate, all of it is subjective. You can't just say "These shows are bad because of these specific points, which are all opinionated but I will treat them like I know what I'm talking about." since most crit reviews don't work like that. If anything, the only "bad" show judging by any of this is Arrow, and Arrow is definitely not bad, it's just boring to different people.
