I’ve been enjoying it. Really have no idea where this will end.

Pretty good story and acting. They've nicely painted themselves into a corner with Hal Jordan being shot dead.
Let's see if they blow it with a dream sequence, alien deus ex-machina, or multiverse bullshit.

They have the ability to keep Hal coming back as a ring hologram for a while, mentoring Jon Stewart once he becomes an actual Green Lantern.
Alternatively, they could have the dead Hal Jordan end up as another Manhunter?

Well after e8 it seems the hologram is out, but Sinestro implies he can resurrect actual Hal with John and the new lantern.
I hope that happens in S2, Kyle Chandler is great so far. He's determined, he cares, and yet he's often aloof, even callous (leaving John to burn to death). I think the show would really struggle without him in it.
Such a great show
I'm by no means a massive DC fan. I really don't read the comics and have a basic understanding of character lore. I'm primarily a Marvel comics fan.
But man I've really been enjoying Lanterns. I generally do enjoy DC shows and animated series. they REALLY excel in that format. Even Marvel tv shows are generally better than the movies. Comics just work better when in an extended series format.
I do like this show, I'm just surprised that no one in these comments is talking about the last two episodes being really slow. Presumably we're heading towards the finale, but gods damn did all of the tension and momentum die off after episode 5.
