So out of sheer boredom I've decided to do this Super Massive Review of Supergirl up until this moment. This is a show that has had its lows and it's highs. Is it worth the watch?..... eh. So let's not waste anymore time, time to take a dive into this pool of cheese and analyse this show.

First Impressions

So let's take a gander at the episode that started it all. Overall when I saw this episode, it wasn't as bad as the trailers made it seem. Sure it had it's problem, mostly stemming from the choice to make Jimmy a Smooth, Dark and Handsome, as well as some of the conveniences that took place over the episode. Mostly, I found her reasons for wanting to be a hero left much to be desired. It was harmless fun for the most part and since it was a pilot, I had hoped that the kinks would be worked out later on. Like with Constantine, the original chick who was going to be his sidekick, got written out at the end of the episode for the official airing. So I stayed with it....

One Season Later

Ho boy.... this show is cheesier than the state of Wisconsin. Now let me set this straight.... while the show isn't necessarily flawed for being cheesy, it's aspiration to tackle heavy subjects (it only gets worst in season 2) and built up to it's villains are what don't mix with it. The one off villains are fine enough and work within the world they live in, but something about the villains like General Lane, that Rich Dude (and his motivations) and the Knock Off Zod couple are just flat to watch. Each have their own issues

1. General Lane- Is total bore and a bad actor
2. Rich Dude- The way he converts and turns into a good guy at the end are bogus. He should have stayed a bad guy
3. Zod Couple- The Husband was a flat bore with generic motivations, while the drama with his Wife and her niece left no impact on me.

Just like Flash overdoes it with the pep talks, this show has these total BS "Moments of Hope", where Supergirl is trying to be inspirational or live up to her Cousin's Legacy. Now most of you are thinking "Saint, you just hate an Iconic Good Guy Superman, so you'd obviously hate moments of hope". Au Contraire, you just don't know what I'm referring to. Spoilers Ahead

Had it not been for them introducing Superman and the upcoming crossovers, I would just have dropped this series. Let's take a look at how Season 2 is

Take Two

If you wish to see a comedic Review I did on the Superman episodes, click here ---> My Reaction After Watching Supergirl. Honestly, I can't say that this show got any better this season. It doesn't help that the show has adopted a brand new flaw in the fact that it's gone Super Left. It feels at times that the writes want to push an agenda with Supergirl, either with Immigration, Gun Control or in it's obvious endorsement of Hilary CLinton with their own female President. It doesn't help that Supergirl in one episode gives a hope speech tackling a hard subject, but goes on to give no alternative, which only helped to prove the villains point.

Her Supporting Cast has also been dismantled. Jimmy and her broke up, they have no idea what to do with the Gay Best Friend dude, and Cat Grant has left the show. While I would say that her Supporting Cast has been the weakest out of any of these DCTV shows, that doesn't mean they should just fall by the wayside. At least have the decency to replace them with something better.

....But

The show isn't complete and utter dog crap. It's a hard watch sure, but there have been some enjoyable moments.

Melissa Benoist- She carries this show. I agree with some people that this is a pretty bland incarnation of Supergirl and they've just made her a Clark Kent clone, but her charm and cuteness do make you ignore that... a bit.

Action- For a TV show, the show's action can sometimes impress me.

The Cheese- Sometimes it works.

Cat Grant- I would have liked for her to find out Kara was Supergirl, but Cat does provide the best comedic moments in the entire show. It's not her fault that in the final episodes she sucked, everyone did.

Her Lost Dad- The mystery about Supergirl's Earth Dead is interesting

Season 2 Story- The story arc of this season is a big improvement over the last one. I just wish it didn't feel like it had a political agenda.

The Flash Episode- Probably the best episode, and it makes me mad that they won't fuse these two worlds together.

Martian Manhunter & her Sister- Good Supporting Characters. MM's current story arcs are way better than Supergirls.

That'll Do It

In the end folks, I can't say I recommend this show since for me it's a show that is somewhere between "Hate Watching" and "Guilty Pleasure". If you're lactose intolerant, stay the heck away from this show, but if you got nothing else to watch on Netflix, kick back a few beers and give this show a watch.
