4/5

Supergirl hasn't been too consistent with Maxwell Lord's development from vaguely sinister tech magnate to full-blown villain, but that's all over now: The guy is straight-up evil.

There are several frustrating parts of the episode... but there are also moments where the show redeems itself and makes you fall in love with it, its heroine, and what she stands for even more.

But for all the screentime it takes up, Kara's love life isn't what drives this episode. It's Maxwell Lord doing the damage and pulling the strings, and Peter Facinelli digs into this with earnest.

The episode's treatment of the Bizarro Girl character and her back-and-forth with Supergirl, physically and otherwise, do justice to her comic-book origins.

4.2/5

The scenes between Alex and Lord are becoming some of the best of the series. There is a fine line between love and hate, and it is making the chemistry between them ignite.

4/5

Max is the kind of villain that I find particularly unsettling, because he's real.
