The CWReviews of cwtv.com

every time i click on an episode of any show it just buffers for ETERNITY i have tried everything to fix it but it wont work. if i cant use this app the i will have to wait for all the shows that i want to watch to come out on Netflix.

I have been watching the DC shows on the CW for many years now. I have always waited to watch them legitimately and have stayed on top of them this whole time. But i have faced a test this past year as the management of CW shows outside of the US has been a shambles. As i said, i have always refused to watch these shows through illegal methods, meaning i have had to wait for the UK release. Now its bad enough that the CW still insists on waiting for international release until after the US. In this day in age, there is no longer any excuse to not release worldwide at the same time. But for the sake a few weeks, i can wait. But this year, the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover took 5 months to arrive in the UK. In which time i had many plot points spoiled for me. FB pages for the shows i loved repeatedly advertise a catch up service online, to watch these shows straight after release. But alas, this service is only available in the US. So 5 months later, the shows finally come back to UK. Only 4/5 of the episodes air though. Sky, who normally air these shows in the UK, did not have the rights to Batwoman, meaning i needed to wait longer for E4 to aquire the rights to Batwoman/ part 2 of Crisis. I wait longer for Batwoman, i then wait a further 9 weeks for Batwoman to catch up to Crisis. I know have 9 episodes of Flash, Legends and Supergirl to catch up on. I have fallen so far behind. Week 9 comes around. Episode 9/ part 2 of crisis is not being shown. E4 says they are going to wait til August to show it, 9 months after it released in the US. Meanwhile i am falling even further behind with the rest of the shows, more spoilers are being revealed and i am loosing all patience and interest. Why do you treat international audiences like this? I respect the fact that Sky and E4 should share the blame but i also suspect that their hands are tied by CW. Again, you have the ability to release your shows world wide. So do it. I feel let down by a network whose shows i have supported for years. Its nonsense like this which makes me question why i don't just illegally download these shows. CW could at the very least make their Catch up services available world wide. On top of this, they have made several animated shows which tie into the DC shows which are available on their CW app, CWseed. But surprise surprise, not available outside the US. I have about lost patience with CW. If it wasn't bad enough that they treat international audiences so bad, it gets worse that they are driving their shows into the ground. Legends is but a shell of its former greatness. Arrow went down hill before it was finished (the finale of which i still can't watch because i need to watch Crisis first.) Batwoman has been somewhat enjoyable but it has been bogged down with controversy and most recently the lead actress leaving the project. These shows are dropping in quality and i feel let down by the company as a whole. If you live in the US, i'm sure that this is fine. And good for you. But if you don't live in the US, this company does not appear to care about you at all.

Can't wait for Netflix to come out with the newest seasons of a lot of shows so I can actually watch the show and not just 4 or 5 episodes....

The CW is to television what Roger Corman is to fine cinema. I'd love to see a show on there without forced diversity and superficial fluff. How much gay pride do we need to have shoved in our face in order to watch a show that in theory looks like a good concept.

You could say I'm one of those kids that grew up when analog TV was the only thing available and ads were a thing. Even though I would love to watch shows nonstop without ads, but honestly, doing that wouldn't be sustainable to the actors and the crew that created the shows, so I accept the fact ads has to happen if you watch to watch for free. That, or pay a subscription. Either way, ads give you an excuse to get up and stretch, and I can't pay for every single sub service I use or else I'd be broke. This, however, feels like they're purposefully making you watch the show all over again when I feel like I missed a (big) part and the video freezes or when I feel like the player is just playing ads over and over again, which is a waste of time and I just want to watch on my laptop because it's a bigger screen which is than squinting on my phone and while I don't mind maybe 2 to 3 minutes worth of ads per section for maybe a 40-minute show to make it roughly an hour-long show, 10 minutes is ginormous and ridiculous. So please, just stop wasting people's time.

/why right before an ad came i couldn't watch anything else. please take ads off cw because its a pain

I have no clue what’s goin on but the last two episodes of supernatural have not had sound of the people talking but I can hear back ground noise on the show. I just wanna be able to watch my favorite show on tv not my phone

Gay content aside, the whole network is barely even watchable due to poor picture quality. It'd be great to get through ONE show without it pausing, skipping, and losing audio CONSTANTLY. Usually during the best parts of the show. Only channel I have that is an issue with.
