"Red Faced" provides a nuanced look at Kara's emotional state, suggesting that these elements of her personality will be among her key tools down the road. Go to Full Review Joshua Rivera New York Magazine/Vulture 07/26/2018
4/5
While punching the car's engine block through the chassis and straight across the garage, [Kara] vents about how she'll never have a normal life... It's a nice scene, and a good setup for what's to come. Go to Full Review Chancellor Agard Entertainment Weekly 07/24/2018
As I mentioned last week, Supergirl is at its best when it focuses on family dynamics and moments of connection between its characters that don't focus on romance, and this episode definitely showed that off. Go to Full Review Allyson Johnson The Young Folks 08/01/2018
7/10
"Red Faced" overall is a largely inoffensive episode of television, with some truly great character moments, but the tone continues to change course with every scene. Go to Full Review Paul Dailly TV Fanatic 07/31/2018
4.5/5
Red Tornado was a pretty decent villain. Go to Full Review Andrew Dyce Screen Rant 07/27/2018
This week gets more right than wrong, with the writing (and its execution) more concise than usual - and by the end of episode, touching something profound for a Superman character, or a superhero in general. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
