Critics Consensus

The arrival of the more famous cousin in Supergirl does nothing to detract from the show's lead, who continues to deliver strength, action, and relatability.

3/4
The move away from so much time spent with Linda Danvers, the secret identity of Supergirl, chatting with Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) helped move this series from being a soap opera with a female hero to a much better action series. Go to Full Review Ed Gross Empire Magazine 10/25/2016

For some people, television is just entertainment, and for all its problematic aspects, Supergirl is an iconic show. It did pave the way for female superheroes It may be imperfect, but it’s better than no rep at all. Go to Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk 02/17/2019
4/5
A mixed bag, but most of the returning and new characters are good and/or get some good development. The overall storylines are fun to follow and the finale delivers, mostly. Go to Full Review Andrew Husband Uproxx 07/19/2018
Between Benoist and Flockhart's performances and Kreisberg and Jessica Queller's script, its believability leaves much to be desired, but its focus never falters Go to Full Review Read all reviews

stefan C Apr 25 Pretty much the same every time. Only good for 2 seasons! See more tiago m 12/07/2024 Essa temporada é um pouco melhor que a primeira, os vilões continuam MUITO RUINS, os Daxamitas são muito mal feitos, o Caçador com Aids tem um arco bem nada a ver com a Miss Aids, a Ale, o Jamie, a Lena e o Winn tem arcos genéricos, os temas não são bem trabalhados e a lutas estão ridiculas, porém o Mon El é um bom personagem e garrega a temporada nas costas, e seu romance com a Kara é bem desenvolvido ao longo dos episódios See more julian p 03/16/2024 I liked it. I'm not a fan of nerfing Superman when he's introduced but other than that strong season and I liked it. See more Laurian D @Laurian 07/07/2023 Strong season, in my opinion the best of the entire series. Definitely worth watching. See more Freedom T @Freedom2025 01/24/2023 Season 2 was much better that the first season, moving to the cw was a good idea at first See more 05/29/2022 A deeper, more powerful continuation that I could debatably say is superior to the first season. Perhaps its whole romance angle is a bit cheezy, but it keeps true to the spirit of Supergirl with strong concepts and thrilling fight scenes to make it all fun. See more Read all reviews
