About Lanterns
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.
How to get through Lanterns faster
- Skip the intro. Roughly a minute and a quarter per episode adds up to about 10 minutes across the whole run.
- Bump the speed. At 1.25× the total drops to 6.4 hours; at 1.5× it's 5.3 hours.
- Watch with a comment section. A running conversation pinned to each moment makes long stretches feel shorter, and it's the reason TalkAbtIT exists.
