    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was very excited for this season of Supergirl, and I did like it. Well, some of it. Alex exploring her sexuality was great. I love Alex and Maggie's relationship, but it was forced to the side my Mon-El and Kara's. The white, straight couple would get twice the amount of airtime as Sanvers, a very healthy relationship. Speaking of healthy, or rather unhealthy, is Mon-El and Kara's relationship. Mon-El is a slave owner. He left a woman that he had been sleeping with all alone, as she called out his name. He yelled at Kara, lied to her. Meanwhile, we have chemistry between Kara and Lena. Yes, I know that we already have a w/w relationship on the tv show, but why couldn't there be more? I understand that Karamel was a big deal because they are a Daxamite and a Kryptonion, but there would be a similar dynamic between a Luthor and a Super. We had been queer baited a lot during this season, and I'm not sure I want to watch the next one.… Expand

    Hmm... upon seeing the end of s02e19, it struck me: police brutality, vigilante justice, secret black site prisons, indefinite detention, torture, people 'disappeared', a complete absence of habeas corpus and anything resembling due process - and this from the 'good guys'.

So along with its complete failure to entertain me, it is also a moral failure bizarrely masquerading as a shining beacon.

    When Batman and Punisher are 'bad', at least you know what you are seeing - lone thugs run amuck, and the extreme honesty of the newer versions make them that much better. But this Supergirl, it's basically fascist, and exactly like the fascists in real life, it has the same sanctimonious tone - beating the drums of 'moral virtue' while peddling total evil.

    Dishonest art is bad art... that is the essence of this show's failing.

    This show really pains me because I loved the Supergirl movie, which is why I kept trying to get something from this series. Smallville at least had some heart. But this new wave (Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl) is hopeless.

    And for a self-declared feminist show, why are the female characters so weak? They keep introducing strong male characters for them to lean on and take orders from. Alura may have been the show's best character: an actual strong female character (and even that they watered down by having her husband running things), morally ambiguous and unpredictable (i.e. not one dimensional)... but they couldn't have that now could they? And am I the only one that cringes every time I hear that Kara's purpose in life was apparently just to take care of her male cousin? How are they not embarrassed to have that in the opening every episode?    … Expand

    I was excited to view this show as I have enjoyed Supergirl in the comic books, and was hoping that the show would be about Supergirl. Now the show has been hijacked by the political correctness train. I really am thankful that I Tivo this show to fast forward when Supergirl's step sister and the policewoman appear in the scene.

Stick with Supergirl's issues and battles and quit trying to make statements about gay or racist issues.… 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 just want to see Supergirl punch things and use powers not preach one sided politics. Well the 1v1 againstOh wow this series is the most divisive TV superhero show every written.

    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.

    The 1st season was a great family show! The 2nd season has devolved into a political platform for the liberal left. We will not be watching until i hear that things are different. On the other hand, Arrow, Flash and Legends are top notch. No real-world politics and not a whole lot of sexual stuff.

    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.

    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.

    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.
