Is Lanterns the best show in the DCU so far? We’re breaking down the entire first season of HBO’s Lanterns in our full spoiler review, including Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan, Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, the central mystery, and what the series means for the future of the DC Universe. We loved the character-driven writing, the chemistry between the two leads, the twists and reveals, and the way Lanterns brings Green Lantern into a grounded detective story. But the season isn't perfect, and we get into what worked, what didn't, and our biggest thoughts on the finale. We also rank Lanterns against the other DCU projects, discuss where Hal Jordan and John Stewart could go next, and debate whether DC should make more shows like this. *FULL SPOILERS for Lanterns Season 1 ahead!* Do you think Lanterns is the best DCU project yet?
