Critics Consensus

Darker themes fill "Childish Things" as a sidekick takes center stage to take on his own demons before they take down National City -- a long-overdue win for Jeremy Jordan.

Remember how I told you there's a good story in this episode, but it's undercut by some really dumb stuff? This is what I meant. Go to Full Review

Czerny is actually perfectly cast as Toyman. Go to Full Review
Allison Shoemaker CBR 07/21/2018
"Supergirl" isn't the most subtle thing on TV... But they've always had a knack for letting Kara Alex (and Melissa Benoist and Chyler Leigh) feel honest and genuine, and it's nice to see that energy translate elsewhere in the cast. Go to Full Review

Like Supergirl herself, it seems J'onzz's abilities aren't as perfect as the comics originally portrayed them. And while developments like these tend to sour the more ardent fans, it makes for a better television show. Go to Full Review

There are a few things you can always count on during every Supergirl episode... Cat Grant will deliver a one-liner better than anyone in National City. And, most of all, the CBS series will make you really appreciate your family. Go to Full Review

I was really proud of Winn for his bravery as well as his willingness to share his vulnerable side with Kara. His fear of someday turning into his father is real, and completely understandable. Go to Full Review
