The first Lanterns teaser trailer is here and so far it has met with a tepid response from some fans. I myself however, think this looks like a good show and I’ll be checking it out when it hits streaming this August.
Lanterns stars Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart. Those two are very much the focus of this teaser, which has been criticised by some for appearing too grounded. I don’t quite agree, but you judge for yourself.
So, what do you think so far?
The shows director previously said the show begins in a very rooted place (earthbound) before going intergalactic. Therefore, I think this teaser is doing a good job of, well, teasing.

Lanterns follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.

The cast includes Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan, and Ulrich Thomsen as Sinestro, Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Nicole Ari Parker, Jason Ritter, J.
