Based on the DC comic "Green Lantern," drama series "Lanterns" follows new recruit John Stewart and "Lantern" legend Hal Jordan. These two intergalactic cops are drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland. In association with Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios, the HBO series provides a fresh live action take on the popular universe and its characters. Emmy nominee Chris Mundy serves as showrunner and executive producer for this original detective story.

The grounded and gritty approach pays dividends for Lanterns, which gives the DCU a much-needed win.

It’s not that a grounded detective story couldn’t soar, given the circumstances — but without heart, or at least a sense of wonder, 'Lanterns' is stuck on the ground.

Rarely has a show delivered episodes that resonated as both subversive and Wattpad True Detective fan-fiction, sometimes in the same scene.
