This is a (mostly) spoiler-free review of the first two episodes of DC Universe’s Swamp Thing. Episode 1 premiered on Friday, May 31, while episode 2, “Worlds Apart,” drops on Friday, June 7. Also, learn about the history and origin of Swamp Thing here, and find out why DC Universe has canceled Swamp Thing after just one episode.
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.
