    I lost interest about 2/3 through the first season, but my interest was renewed when I learned the show was moving to the CW. The season opener felt far warmer and fun than the rather sterile first season. It wasn't amazing, but it was good and I enjoyed it. I hope it remains on an upward trajectory. I surprisingly enjoyed Tyler Hoechin as Superman and thought he worked really well beside Benoit.

    I found the first season of this show to be utterly unwatchable.

    Since it has since become part of the Arrowverse on The CW, I decided to give the season 2 premiere a shot. There's definitely more heart here, with the comic book pages coming to life through great special effects and iconic poses. Agreed, it's still rather cheesy and cliché at times, but with the DC television series    I found the first season of this show to be utterly unwatchable.

    Agreed, it's still rather cheesy and cliché at times, but with the DC television series melting together, there's bound to come a lot more to Supergirl that will make you stick with its second season, plowing through the bad for some truly enjoyable moments.    … Expand

    Improving its already impressive cast with solid new additions, Season 2 of Supergirl is more timely, confident outing for the titular superheroine and a step up for the Arrowverse.

    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 second season started out (using a baseball metaphor) by knocking it out of the park. The show has opened the door for a number of sub plots and also it was great seeing Superman along side his cousin.

    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.

    I tried watching season 1 of Supergirl and could not watch more than 3 episodes. However, I decided to give the second season a chance and was pleasantly surprised to see how much it had improved. The chemistry among the cast is better and the addition of new characters such as Mon-el (played by Chris Wood), M'gann and Maggie have greatly improved the quality of the show.

    After a ok to good to even very good parts in season 1, The Girl of Steel returns for season 2 on the CW. 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

    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 the majority over their personal preferences. In this case, that choice breaks his heart and, in passing,Supergirl throws the house out the window at her end of the season.

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

    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.
