Many programs reuse elements; if people have seen The Rookie, they’ve noticed the identical houses and sets appearing repeatedly throughout its episodes. Birds of Prey suffered from a similar issue, though in this case, it seemed to be plotlines that were being reused. Like an animated series, each installment felt disconnected and didn't advance any larger narrative. It's disappointing because the original Birds of Prey comic was quite good—but those stories actually progressed somewhere. Another problem arose when the show became associated with The WB, and then too quickly with The CW; it rapidly lost its direction and began to resemble Dawson’s Creek but with superheroes. It ended up feeling like Smallville, only with a darker tone that didn't quite match the kinds of stories they started telling around the middle of the first season. It was one of those shows that initially generated excitement, until you remembered which network produced it.
