All of Berlanti's and Falchuck's works follow the same storyline. Supergirl, The Flash, Motherland, Sabrina, The Umbrella Academy etc.
From plot to character origins, to budding or unrequited loves, to Scooby gang parallels, and to villain transition or handover.
The battle between the boys and Esther is a parallel of Sabrina and the Mother of demons. As episodes progress, new allies emerge from antagonists who fall in love with the main characters. Edwin becomes smitten with the Cat King- similar to Mark and Frost of The Flash. And then, the gang grows into a bonafide Scooby gang.
Why does it always have to be a gang?
The Arrow, Supergirl, The Flash, The Umbrella Academy, etc.
Why can't the main characters be JUST THE MAIN CHARACTERS?
The boys' story should remain authentic and exclusive.
I like Crystal, but she should not be the main character.
What's the point of calling the show, Dead Boys if 75% of the time, Crystal steals the show?
MOST IMPORTANT, production spends way too much on period costumes, makeup, and sets to hide a very familiar and predictable plot.
Berlanti and Falchuck's usual writers are running out of novel narratives.
