For as terrible/confusing as the Mon-El/Kara relationship is, Maggie and Alex's is beautiful and complex, and for that I am extremely grateful. Go to Full Review Chancellor Agard Entertainment Weekly 07/20/2018

Apart from the Maggie-and-Alex story, the best part of this episode was Teri Hatcher's performance as Rhea. Go to Full Review Caroline Siede AV Club 07/19/2018

Mon-El is not a character worthy of as much time as Supergirl has given him this season. It has always been an ensemble series that lets characters take prominence in different episodes, but Mon-El has gotten far more than his fair share of screentime.

On the real tip? I do not like Teri Hatcher and Kevin Sorbo on this show at all. Go to Full Review Trent Moore Syfy Wire 07/30/2018
Say what you will about Kevin Smith, but the guy absolutely gets how this show should work. This season of Supergirl has been wildly uneven, but this episode was arguably one of the best of the year. Go to Full Review Teresa Jusino The Mary Sue 07/30/2018
I really enjoyed this episode, mostly because Rhea is an amazing character. Played by the amazing Teri Hatcher, Rhea is one of the best antagonists that has ever been on this show. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
