This is a (mostly) spoiler-free review of the first two episodes of DC Universe’s Swamp Thing. Episode 1 premieres on Friday, May 31, while episode 2, “Worlds Apart,” drops on Friday, June 7.
DC Universe’s Swamp Thing makes a formidable debut, with its Southern Gothic charm, grotesque visuals, and engaging storyline centered on a small Louisiana town with a past shrouded in mystery. But it’s the stellar world building that really makes the series stand out from other DC live-action shows. Swamp Thing’s richly-layered world is headed up by Battlestar Galactica alum Mark Verheiden and IT screenwriter Gary Dauberman, who take on co-showrunner duties. Add in executive producer James Wan (The Conjuring) and director Len Wiseman (Underworld franchise) and you have the Hollywood recipe for a really good horror series.
