Arrow - Season 4
The first half did nothing but prop Legends, and the back half was a total mess, not to mention that the flashbacks were a total bore. The show suffered the most with the soapish drama, thanks in total to Felicity and her mother Donna. Highlights include Neal McDonough, the one off Constatine appearence, and the fact that after 4 years, Diggle finally got a storyline.

The Flash - Season 2
The first half had the same problems as Arrow did too much Legends propping, but the writing was able to stay consistent, and the only episode that ended up lackluster was the introduction to the new Firestorm (though the King Shark cameo was a season highlight.) The show had some problems once it was revealed who Zoom was and their motive, but it remained good throughout.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow
A solid show overall that got off to a very sluggish start with the first 5 episodes. Episodes 6-9 were quite good, but the show fell off again for another 5 or so episodes, with only the Jonah Hex episode standing out. The final 3 episodes gave the show some momentum, and even made me excited at the prospect, for season 2. The best thing about the show overall was the character development for Captain Cold/Heatwave, it was actually quite excellent. Their storyline kept me watching. Worst aspect was the portrayal of the Hawks and the villain. Hawkgirl was constantly in a love triangle, which made the show unbearable, Carter was boring, especially compared to the actor from Smallville. Vandal Savage was just mediocre across the board, in terms of performance and writing.
7 out of 10 if I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt, I'd say it deserves a 6.
