After bouncing between psychiatric hospitals, an encounter with a fellow patient leaves David wondering if the visions he has always experienced are more than they seem.

Harley Quinn (voiced by Kaley Cuoco) is about to find out what life looks like when you finally break up with the Joker (voiced by Alan Tudyk). This animated series has received some pretty stellar reviews and offers a more jovial journey into the world of superheroes than many other shows. If you want a good laugh as much as you love a good villain, this may be the series for you. The series follows Harley as she tries to become a queenpin. You're in for a ride. 

"All of the familiar draws of DC animated hit are here — the snappy dialogue, the bold (and quasi-gruesome) action — but what makes this series uniquely appealing is that it's a perfectly viable starting point for old and new fans alike." — Shannon Miller, The A.V. Club

The Tick (2001)

Metascore: 82
Best for: Fans of crime stoppers and action lovers

While this series only got one season, it offers a refreshing take on the classic "superhero saves a city" theme. The Tick follows a world where superheroes are totally the norm. One nervous office worker (played by David Burke) ends up becoming the sidekick to the titular hero (Patrick Warburton) who is trying to fight off a villain called The Terror (Armin Shimerman). Follow as the pair tries to figure out who is pulling the strings in their city — good or evil. And, get in some good laughs. This show was the first live-action adaptation of Ben Edlund's comic series of the same title.

"The show is a tour de farce for Warburton, who has the commanding gusto of a superhero and the deadpan style so appropriate for the material." — Chuck Barney, San Jose Mercury News

Killing Eve

Metascore: 75
Best for: Fans of cat-and-mouse dramas
Where to watch: 

, , Google Play, , iTunes, 
Seasons: 4

If an endless game of cat-and-mouse sounds like it's up your alley, you will love this drama. An American in Britain (played by Sandra Oh) is a security officer who sets out to capture a mysterious assassin (Jodie Comer). The two characters become intrigued and obsessed with each other. Will they catch each other? Will they turn on each other if they do? This doesn't involve superpowers, but it does involve lots of action-filled chases with twists and turns and unexpected alliances. 

"Sandra Oh brings a funny, funky vulnerability to this stylishly surprising and wildly entertaining spy thriller." — Matt Roush, TV Guide Magazine

The Boys

Metascore: 77
Best for: Fans of the comics of the same title and action-adventure junkies
Where to watch: 

, Google Play, iTunes,
Seasons: 2 (so far)

Superheroes, but make them less lovable. The Boys explores a world where superheroes are lauded for their powers — but are also super arrogant behind the scenes. The show follows the titular group of vigilantes who try to bring down these supes, and the evil conglomerate that made them what they are. But it also follows the supes, too, to understand why they are so corrupt. While doing so, the show explores themes of capitalism, greed, and more. It might not be what you'd expect from a series about superpowers, but it's a nice change of pace for people who are seeking something a little more gritty. 

"A sharp, entertaining, eviscerating satire of superhero franchises and the culture that aggrandizes them. — Lorraine Ali, Los Angeles Times

The sci-fi adjacent show that hails from the comic series of the same title also features a vampire and almighty powers born of an angel and a devil. 

"Within its oversize color panels there's some hard-boiled philosophy about trying to be good in a world of sin. And there's little on TV quite like its fallen world." — James Poniewozik, The New York Times
