I'm honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed "City of Lost Children." A James-centric episode was the last thing I wanted after this scattered season, but this ended up being one of the season's most coherent hours. Go to Full Review Caroline Siede AV Club 07/19/2018

One thing Supergirl doesn't get nearly enough credit for is its unexpected narrative swerves. Go to Full Review Ade Adeniji The Tracking Board 08/28/2018

The Guardian storyline, though, overall was pretty solid. While there are scientific rules in place (every time the portal is activated, the Phorians are taken over), Supergirl emphasizes the power of personal connection. Go to Full Review Dany Roth Syfy Wire 07/19/2018
I agree this second season there's been a struggle to understand where James fits into the new dynamic, but I don't think that makes this story somehow less emotionally affecting. Go to Full Review Trent Moore Syfy Wire 07/19/2018
This was not the strongest episode of Supergirl. It basically served as a character study for James Olsen, but came off as half-baked wheel-spinning Go to Full Review Teresa Jusino The Mary Sue 07/19/2018
