Critics Consensus

Supergirl manages to be just as dramatic as the multitude of current gritty and dark superhero television shows simply by examining moral quandaries.

3/5

Even when it stumbles on the execution - as it sometimes does tonight - the fact that it totally nails the aspirational nature of superheroes is such a joy that I never regret having watched it, even in this era of Too Much TV.

It's unsurprising that tonight's episode, "Truth, Justice, and the American Way," would aim high from an action perspective, given that it was directed by powerhouse Lexi Alexander.

For all of its minor missteps, this episode has a thematic boldness that makes for a very refreshing and very welcome change of pace.

Directed by Lexi Alexander the episode didn't manage to drop any of it's heavy handedness... but it sets up a lot moving forward as well as highlighting what continues to be the best aspects of the show - the relationships.

Cat doesn't let her guard down often, but with her interactions with Jimmy there is always a beautiful element of honesty between the two of them.
