Hoechlin is only set to appear in the season’s first two episodes. But his premiere flight as Superman and Supergirl’s CW debut are both very, very good and represent the best DC Comics television has to offer. Read full review

With season 2, it really feels as if Supergirl--unburdened by whatever behind-the-scenes decisions kept the show from embracing the Superman of it all--just discovered an entirely new sandbox to play around in, one that opens the doors to seemingly endless story possibilities for both the Girl of Steel and the Arrowverse as a whole.

Supergirl very much plays in the same brightly colored playground as The Flash, sprinkling in nerdy nods (“Miss Tessmacher!”) with vivid action sequences. Serving up an ongoing villainous threat, though, seems to remain its storytelling Kryptonite. Read full review

Hoechlin nails the bespectacled, gawky side of Clark Kent, and if he doesn’t seem quite as intense as other on-screen Supermen, the Teen Wolf alum hits the right, big-brotherly vibe with Benoist. Still, more doesn’t always mean merrier: The second season premiere fails to take flight in its clunky introductions of new villains (look, a new Luthor — sort of!) and explosive-but-tiresome action sequences. ... Instead, the hour shines most when it focuses on Kara’s struggle. Read full review

Supergirl throws the house out the window at her end of the season. The two season finale we've seen so far from Supergirl have touched on the same theme: how Kara is capable of sacrificing herself for saving not only the people she wants, but the whole world. Always choose the good of theSupergirl throws the house out the window at her end of the season. The two season finale we've seen so far from Supergirl have touched on the same theme: how Kara is capable of sacrificing herself for saving not only the people she wants, but the whole world. Always choose the good of the majority over their personal preferences. In this case, that choice breaks his heart and, in passing, leaves one of the most ambitious chapters that the series has done so far. The second season of Supergirl has enhanced the superheroic and action side more than the workplace comedy and romantic comedy tones she had at the beginning. In general, it has worked, although as with all The CW series, the middle section of the delivery has suffered a bit and has only been saved by the way in which Alex's closet was counted.… Expand

I admit when "Supergirl" debuted last season I was very critical of the show for its writing and acting. But as the series went on I was more and more impressed with both.

The show has opened the door for a number of sub plots and also it was great seeing Superman along side his cousin.… Expand

Great show. This really takes you to where we were all wishing to be in season 1. With Superman at her side Supergirl has a lot more going for her and her character is getting better and better.

How does it fare? Mostly good. I can't say for certain what it is that makes this season a liitle worse than the first one (maybe the fact that Calista Flockhart is only in a few episodes) but in general the show maintains an ok to good balance most season. Good points for the season: finally the introduction of superman on screen, with the excellent casting of Tyler Hoechlin, i can definetly say finally a version of superman that actually reminds me of the comics; the introduction to Miss Martian, a great character from other media that is done mostly justice in this show; the great character development for Alex, and all around good acting from the cast (special shout to Melissa Benoist who really has become Supergirl) Bad points: lackluster main villians, forced conclusion in the season finale, Guardian (Seriously, not a good idea), and did I mention almost no Cat Grant.
All in all, maybe not the greatest follow up to the first season, but in general good enough to keep me entertained and eager to see if the CW can improve on the second season handling this series. Lets hope that the girl of steel can fly much higher next season, but as of now, still a solid show that is recommended for fans of the comics, or just enjoys the type of dramatic action shows that the CW produces. If superheroes is not your schtick, give it a pass.… Expand

That is only because they are able to bring in more lore into it. Finally Superman makes an appearance over here. We are also introduced to Mon-El, whom Kara had severely wronged but then she learns her lesson and decides never to be racist towards anyone ever again. Speaking of racism, it seems that is what the theme of the season is. There are multiple alien species who have come up and started living on this planet. The previous Hank Henshaw has become Cyborg Superman (don't get excited, he's nothing like the one from The Death and Return of Superman). We also get to see Mr Mxyzptlk, whose role here is only to simp behind Supergirl. Also we have the Daxamites as the bad guys over here, who are at least more competent than the house of Els. The season is, once again, very boring and makes Kryptonians look like a bunch of wimps, but like I said, it's at least better than Season 1.… Expand

Oh wow this series is the most divisive TV superhero show every written. Who is actually the demograph for this show? How many american progressive Democrat feminists do they think will sit around for this BS? I am so done with one sided teenage college level of activist writing. Fans justOh wow this series is the most divisive TV superhero show every written. Who is actually the demograph for this show? How many american progressive Democrat feminists do they think will sit around for this BS? I am so done with one sided teenage college level of activist writing. Fans just want to see Supergirl punch things and use powers not preach one sided politics. Well the 1v1 against guess you know who? Yeah of course it had only one way to go in a show of this type and I bet everyone called the outcome of that fight. Yeah whatever bye Supergirl or is it SJW Girl, lol.… Expand

Do I need to explain? No constancy in the storytelling, complete disregard for character development and the most glaring problem is the slave-owning, abusive man-child that Kara shacks up with.
