I watch them because I started when it was just Arrow and The Flash, and now there's just so much content. Over 300 live-action episodes, and it just keeps going with a few episodes a week and it's too much. The only ones I haven't watched are Constantine because it was only retroactively put into the Arrowverse and I missed it, never got a chance to go back (only seen Episodes 1 and 2), and Freedom Fighters: The Ray, just haven't got to it yet.

It's a kind of fun multiverse, and the crossovers are a lot of fun, but I'm getting very tired by the sheer amount of content. It's just kind of too late to back out.

If it had to rank the live-action seasons, it would be something like: Arrow started strong, got stronger, dipped, became awful, got really good again, and now Season 6 is mixed, sometimes very good, often very mediocre. It is the darkest and, I find, the most emotionally and thematically rich... when it's good.
 * Arrow: Season 2
 * Arrow: Season 5
 * Arrow: Season 1
 * The Flash: Season 1
 * The Flash: Season 2
 * DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season 2
 * DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season 3 so far
 * Arrow: Season 3
 * The Flash: Season 4 so far
 * Arrow: Season 6 so far
 * Supergirl: Season 3 so far
 * The Flash: Season 3
 * DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season 1
 * Supergirl: Season 2
 * Arrow: Season 4
 * Supergirl: Season 1

The Flash overall had a very strong first season, and developed into season 2 but got a bit rocky. Really didn't care for a good chunk of Season 3, which was dragged out, predictable, boring, and grim. Some of Season 4 has been good, recapturing Season 1 style and finally doing a non-speedster villain, but some has still been bad. It does feel that they're running out of story.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow took itself way too seriously in Season 1 and was not what we had initially been promised, which made it feel like a let-down - plus, Hawkman and Hawkgirl were no good, and they were the main focus. But once they left, Season 2 really found its footing I felt, as a flawed but fun show, the DC-meets-Doctor Who that it should have been from the start, and it's better and more enjoyable now from week to week, if still silly and campy and not great.

Supergirl I've always felt was cheap-looking, poorly written, and silly. I didn't like Season 1, but grew over time to find that the characters and performances save it a bit. The regulars are charming and delightful, and there's been some genuinely emotional stuff recently, but still, I am often reminded, if I watch it after I've just watched an episode of a higher-quality show, of how kinda naff it is. It's not unwatchable by any means, but there's a lot of cringe.
