After Arrow and The Flash, the next DC Hero to go CW: Hourman!

They could play it like 24 and have each episode play out in "real time".

Except there'd presumably have to be some time before he gets a vision to set the stage and some time after he resolves things to show the aftermath, plus time to cover whatever ongoing character arcs are happening. So the total span of an episode would have to cover more than 60 minutes, and thus it couldn't be quite in real time.

True, but considering the premise I can't see them resisting the urge to use the gimmick in at least one episode.

Those little blue pills?

Miraclo yeah, though I thought they were yellow tablets? The "can see terrible things an hour before they happen" thing was introduced in the 90s/00s Justice Society as a secondary power. The article mentions him being a pharmaceutical analyst, so I can see them bringing the Miraclo in at some point.

Little blue pills = Viagra.

Isn't this NCIS? The black and white stills of the end of the next act?

"After Arrow" sounds like a bad spinoff series....

McNider?

I'm not familiar with the comic character, but the premise sounds like it could be interesting. Hopefully they'll do this as an actual superhero series. If they do go that route, I wonder if they'll set it in the same universe as Arrow and The Flash?

The CW must be retaining a lot of the teens from 10 or 20 years ago (The WB/UPN back then.).

But if you watch younger programming you probably have younger buying practices.
