Joshua Rivera New York Magazine/Vulture 07/26/2018
5/5
The end result is a classic Jekyll-and-Hyde scenario, in which the hero's selfish nature takes over and they become destructive and unrestrained. This often comes with terrible consequences, but it sure is fun to watch. Go to Full Review Chancellor Agard Entertainment Weekly 07/25/2018
Watching Benoist cut loose was so much fun to watch, and you could tell she was enjoying herself, too. Go to Full Review Caroline Siede AV Club 07/19/2018

But "Falling" trims the fat with remarkable confidence, leaving behind Supergirl's most effortless episode yet. Go to Full Review Allyson Johnson The Young Folks 08/02/2018
8.5/10
As Kara takes in the city around her from Cat's ledge, both women breathing the night in, it's reassuring to see the hero knocked down but not out, ready to step back into the hero business if her city should let her. Lovely episode, overall. Go to Full Review Stacy Glanzman TV Fanatic 07/30/2018
5/5
Melissa Benoist was fantastic. Don't get me wrong, she's been great all season, but watching her bring out the villainous side of Kara/Supergirl was quite the transformation. Go to Full Review Samantha Coley Tell-Tale TV 07/30/2018
3.5/5
The audience has fallen for Kara because of her kindness and her desire to save everyone around her. Seeing her become a human wrecking ball for her own life is devastating. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
