Due poliziotti intergalattici, la nuova recluta John Stewart e la leggenda delle Lanterne Hal Jordan, vengono coinvolti in un oscuro mistero che ha come sfondo la Terra mentre indagano su un omicidio nel cuore dell'America.
- Daevid Vincent17 agosto 2026I love this pilot episode so much. It's gritty and raw and funny and a hint of darkness. Chandler is a great actor for this character and Pierre supports him well. I can't wait for the next episode. My favorite line isn't "Are you afraid?"; it's "Are you beeping?" 😆
- Marko Tavares16 agosto 2026Lanterns is a fantastic surprise. It brings the Green Lantern universe down to Earth with a darker, more grounded mystery that often feels like True Detective with a DC twist. Great atmosphere, compelling characters and enough superhero elements to satisfy fans without overpowering the story. Solid 5 stars and highly recommended!
- Hipster ZOMBIE2 gg faThere are two genuinely great things about HBO Max’s Lanterns: Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart. The casting is damn near perfect. Chandler has the weary, seasoned swagger you want from Hal Jordan, while Pierre has the presence, intensity, and physicality to make John Stewart feel like someone who could carry the weight of the Green Lantern Corps on his shoulders. Unfortunately, that is pretty much where my praise for Lanterns ends. Because somewhere between the casting table and the writers’ room, someone apparently looked at one of DC Comics’ most colorful, hopeful, cosmic superhero franchises and said: “You know what this needs? Depression. Murder. Family trauma. A mystery box. And absolutely no fun.” Welcome to Lanterns. James Gunn’s new DC Universe has already had a rocky launch. Superman proved polarizing, and what should have felt like the beginning of an exciting new interconnected universe increasingly feels like a franchise still trying to figure out what the hell it actually wants to be. And Lanterns might be the clearest example yet. The biggest problem with Gunn’s DCU isn’t necessarily the characters. It’s the creative direction surrounding them. Lanterns takes one of DC’s most inherently cinematic concepts and strips away much of the imagination, adventure, optimism, and larger-than-life superhero mythology that makes Green Lantern special. Instead, we’re given a grim, grimy detective story desperately trying to convince us that putting Green Lanterns in a True Detective-style murder mystery automatically makes them sophisticated. It doesn’t. It just makes them Green Lanterns who aren’t having any fun being Green Lanterns. And then we get the characterization. Hal Jordan is introduced as an angry, bitter veteran who appears more interested in killing his own trainee than mentoring him. This is supposed to be one of the legendary heroes of the DC Universe? John Stewart isn’t much better. Rather than presenting Stewart as the inspiring, principled hero audiences have known for decades, the show piles on so much family dysfunction, betrayal, questionable decision-making, and morally murky behavior that you start wondering whether somebody accidentally handed the writers a villain’s character arc. John is supposed to be the hero we’re emotionally investing in. Yet he’s lying. He’s scheming. He’s participating in a plan involving Hal’s ring. And, because apparently the writers decided subtlety was for cowards, there’s even a bizarre romantic subplot involving an older woman who ultimately turns out to be connected to the villainous side of the story. It’s not edgy. It’s not groundbreaking. It’s just weird. And that’s the problem with Lanterns from beginning to end. The show constantly mistakes being cynical for being mature. There is nothing inherently wrong with giving superheroes flaws. In fact, great superhero stories are built around flaws. The problem is that these flaws are supposed to lead somewhere. That’s called a hero’s journey. You give a character weaknesses, temptations, failures, and moral conflicts, and then you watch them overcome those things. Lanterns seems much more interested in watching its characters drown in them. Then there’s Hal. When Hal finally does what a Green Lantern should actually do and chooses to save an entire town, the story somehow manages to frame him as the problem. The guy shows up and prevents innocent people from being slaughtered, and the reward is basically: Congratulations, Hal. You’re under arrest. And then John takes the ring. Hal is left behind. And eventually the show delivers the ultimate “Are you freaking kidding me?” moment: Hal Jordan is murdered. Because naturally. Why develop one of DC’s most recognizable superheroes when you can kill him off and turn his death into another giant mystery box? And that’s where the Damon Lindelof influence becomes impossible to ignore. The show seems less interested in telling a great Green Lantern story than in making you ask: “Who killed Hal Jordan?” Then: “Why did they kill Hal Jordan?” Then: “What does this have to do with the Guardians?” Then: “What’s really going on?” Then, eventually, probably: “Does any of this actually matter?” Mystery-box storytelling can work brilliantly when the mystery exists to serve the characters. But when the characters exist primarily to serve the mystery, you get exactly what Lanterns feels like: A very expensive question with a superhero logo attached to it. And that is especially frustrating because Green Lantern has enormous potential. This franchise could be DC’s answer to Star Wars. Think about it. Aliens. Intergalactic civilizations. Space battles. Ancient cosmic mythology. The Guardians. The emotional spectrum. Sinestro. Oa. The Corps. Thousands of Lanterns from across the universe. A gigantic mythology built around one incredibly simple concept: Anyone can become a hero if they can overcome fear. That’s an incredible foundation for a television universe. Instead, Lanterns looks at all of that and says: “What if we made it True Detective, but everybody has glowing jewelry?” And somehow, it doesn’t even manage to reach the best seasons of True Detective. The tragedy is that Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre are good enough to make you desperately wish the material around them were better. Chandler brings the right kind of weathered charisma to Hal. Pierre has the screen presence necessary to make John Stewart feel like a major DC icon. These two actors deserved a story that understood why people love these characters. Instead, they are trapped inside a series that seems embarrassed by the superhero mythology it’s supposed to be celebrating. And that’s perhaps the most frustrating thing about the new DCU. Where is the inspiration? Where are the heroes? Where is the sense that these characters are supposed to make us want to be better? You don’t need every superhero movie or television show to be sunshine and rainbows. Give me darkness. Give me tragedy. Give me flawed heroes. But eventually, let the damn heroes be heroes. Hell, at this point, I genuinely believe Marshall from PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie has a more convincing hero’s journey than some of the characters in James Gunn’s current DC Universe. And that’s not a compliment to PAW Patrol. That’s an emergency flare. Lanterns isn’t merely a disappointing Green Lantern adaptation. It’s a frustrating example of what happens when a potentially enormous superhero mythology gets buried underneath cynicism, trauma, mystery-box storytelling, and the desperate need to make comic-book material feel “prestigious.” Give me Kyle Chandler. Give me Aaron Pierre. Give me the costumes. Give me Oa. Give me the Corps. Give me aliens, constructs, space battles, impossible worlds, giant cosmic threats and a hero who actually believes something. Give me Green Lantern. Because what Lanterns gives us is a bleak detective drama wearing a Green Lantern costume and hoping nobody notices. And honestly? I’d take Ryan Reynolds’ Green Lantern over this. At least that movie understood that Green Lantern was supposed to be fun.
- Louis White26 agosto 2026I think the show is exceptionally amazing for a grounded Green Lantern show! But I understand why some people don't like the show, but I hope it'll be promising.
- Brandi18 agosto 2026I'm not a big superhero fan, although I do love anything to do with Spider-Man Superman or Batman. Ever since Superman 3 was filmed in my city and I was a teenager and got to see some cool stuff involved, and of course Christopher Reeve. But I haven't watched much in the last 20 years or so and I saw this pop up and the first thing I noticed was Kyle Chandler. He's such a great actor and I love seeing everything he's involved in so here I am. The first episode hasn't disappointed so let's see where this goes.
- Paul Visagie23 agosto 2026Really a different spin on thw Green Lantern...highly entertaining. Can wait for next episode.
- Carter1 g faLanterns might have just saved the DCU! Positives: - The series visually looks good with all of the space stuff whenever we get it - I like the small town setting - The performances are great - Kyle Chandler is an all timer as Hal Jordan - The characters are great and fully fleshed out with character development - The mystery is intriguing and keeps you guessing until it’s revealed - The twists and turns are pretty shocking and clever. I didn’t see any of them coming - The origin story for John Stewart is done pretty well here - The finale is pretty controversial but for me it works. I think it’s a satisfying finale - The action sequences are intense - The comedy is pretty funny Mixed: I hope they bring back Hal for the next season Negatives: - Some of the flying scenes look a little weird - I wish we got more locations explored in the DCU - Some of the later episodes are a little bit slower and aren’t as interesting as the first 5 episodes Overall I loved Lanterns and I can’t wait for our next DCU project. If you love comic book projects or mysteries I recommend this to you.
- NM Ahmed1 g faenough to make a grown man cry.
- Ty Leet1 g faGood plot, great cast, decent action - overall a good superhero show that leaned into the mystery.
- solidem11 g faOne of the best shows I've ever seen and may ever see. Layers of story, enmeshed within the backdrop of 2026 and a desire to showcase the dark, inimitable power of America. An American power that makes its would-be wielders fight tooth and fucking nail against shitty, unfair odds within the fire of a crucible of impossibility until no one, not even and especially those who are losing said power, can deny the right and duty to wield it.
- Jules1 g faA bastardization of the Green Lantern comics written by incompetent children who never learned how the world really works. A show that confuses misplaced empathy with heroism. It demonizes the shows heroes (Hal) while glorifying the shows villains (The Manhunters). It turns John Stewart (who's typically a noble military man) into a thief, a liar, and a villain. I mean they even go as far as to change the goddamn oath? FUCK OFF! Half a star for Kyle Chandler who plays a great Hal Jordan but is wasted by pathetic losers like Tom King and James Gunn.
- Germaximus1 g faSlow but excellent. Bit too much on the "black man has it harder than the white man" nonsense but overall was really great.
- PanoramiKnight1 g faThe show itself isnt horrible, but it's not the lanters I've come to know throught the yearas of animated movies shows and comicbooks. And after giving it the full 1st season I can honestly say that this adaption is not for me, and i dont care for the divergent of the characters nor the changes to the lore.
- Omer Naor1 g faA mature, grounded and character driven show that’s shows us what is like to have good writers. Hoping that these 8 hours laid the foundations for the epic Galactic stories about the green lantern core.
- Subash Ramone1 g faIts not too bad for a first season. Not much action and all. Good cast though. I dont know much about lantern lore so at some episodes I did get kinda confused.
- darsan2 gg fathe dcu keeps cooking when it comes to high quality tv shows, i can't waitt to see john stewart in man of tomorrow next yr and i hope there will be a season 2 after man of tomorrow. "in brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. let those who worship evil's might beware my power—green lantern's light!"
