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 Oct 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 Feb 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 Jul 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

dreamch M @dreamch Jul 2, 2026 Some episodes from this season seem a little boring, but overall, most of them are very good. Obviously, Lena Luthor and Martian Manhunter are this season’s standout characters (along with Supergirl). The only downsides would be a couple of boring villains and Superman actor, but that’s just a personal preference… See more Karim V @Karim424 Apr 5, 2026 Uma segunda temporada maravilhosa See more stefan C @RT89536469 Apr 25, 2025 Pretty much the same every time. Only good for 2 seasons! See more tiago m @RT31388926 Dec 7, 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 @RT20469206 Mar 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.
