This horribly misconceived series barely lasted one season and that should tell you everything you need to know.
But it doesn't.
It doesn't tell you that some episodes actually showed promise.
This unfortunately is not one of them.
This episode should never have been greenlighted. This story of a rescued baby with a rapid-aging genetic condition who was programmed to be a killing machine who actually -- not making this up! -- grows old and dies at the finale ... well, it is enough to make you wonder if TV has run its course and radio is making a comeback...? It violates every natural law in scripting. Like never abuse a baby, never dash the hopes of the viewer, and never make the viewer feel like a patsy for watching something to the end, in the vain hope it will improve.
Not to mention that his series boasts the worst "Harley Quinn" portrayal in the history of the DC universe, and she has way too much screen time in this one.
This series was Dina Meyer's one and only chance to become an action figure. Pity.
