Or at the very least, allow Superman's rogues to be established already and have escaped custody from Metropolis or whatever...

I've been curious how many R's supergirl actually has. but my guess is, probably not many.

Is Season 3 worth bothering with, or is it getting worse? I still LIKE flash, and i havn't been bothered to check it out except for the premier yet.

heard a radio supergirl ad.

the only mention she got was when they said the show name. the entire ad focused on the two dating cops.

oy. thats bad

Tonights Episode was bascailly the flint michigan crisis with led and some Lock Her Up chants at Lena. Supergirl can't go one episode without being political. It was directed by kevin smith so it was watchable because of that.

Sanvers is dead maybe this show can focus on supergirl

[Jester]

Yeah...season 3s been a slog...

[sdp]

All these DC shows are all I ever wished for, why do they suck so much

The latest finished seasons all showed up on Netflix but I'm still dreading investing so many hours of my time on Arrow/LoT/Flash/SG that is nearly 100 44 minute episodes for such little they offer. And yet I want to watch them because It's what I always wanted and try to forgive their flaws

Agreed this season has been quite boring

They need to kill off all of Supergirl's friends in this show and focus solely on Kara again. Besides Martian Manhunter, he's the only other still good character in the show.

Although I admit I like Lena Luthor just because of the actress.

[Jester]

I like Lena and the others fine...but man Katie McGrath accent has slipped quite a bit this season.

So Melissa came out with a twitter letter regarding the Andrew Kriesberg Situation. She refers to Supergirl as a Feminist Empowerment/ Equality Show. That is one of the reasons this show is hard to watch. The other is the Political Crap the shoe horn in

Awkward time to let us know that Chloe Sullivan and her Wall of Weird exist in this universe.

You know, I think I enjoyed the flashback story more than anything this show was done in the present. I think the high school setting would've been a better fit for this show. Or at the very least a college setting.

And here's an idea. If you're going to spend 3/4th's of the crossover episode focused on stories that haven't been featured on Supergirl, maybe you start off the episode with a "previously on Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow"...

So I came to the point in the Arrowverse where "Invasion!" begins, so I've decided to start watching Supergirl and get caught up to that point in it as well.

Man, this is hard. This really a chore to get through. I hope it gets better.

The first episode was pretty solid, the main actress is super charming and always fun to watch (and there's no way it would work at all without her) but... yeesh! This show seems so consistently mean-spiritedly feminist, anti-white male, going out of its way to cross every racial swap, LGBTQ checkbox in almost every single episode... gah! It's like an overload. I was warned about this but I had no idea it was so prevalent. I don't mind stuff like that in Arrow or Flash, where this male character is gender swapped, or that one is race-swapped, or so-and-so who wasn't gay in the comics is now gay in the show, or like, "Oh wow, I guess the random mayor guy is gay and here's his husband"... but this is like... all of that and much more, all at once, all the time. I don't see an agenda in Arrow or Flash, but Supergirl appears to be nothing but agenda. Supporting cast is dry as all can be. I can't even tell you what the name of the geeky white guy in the news office is who she told her secret to for no reason that fawns over her. Jimmy Olsen might as well be a mannequin.

So I'm at about episode 5, already getting tired of the "this new super-powered villain has come out of hiding from the space prison that crashed!" stuff. Is this going to go on and on? That is going to wear real thin. I'm also assuming from the quirky, trying-to-be-cleverly-written "dinner with mom" scene that Supergirl's sister is about to come out as lesbian and that's going to be a big plot point? And what's with Supergirl, like, not ever meeting up with Superman for years? She can't just fly over there every Tuesday for pancakes and waffles? Why not?

[CyberCubed]

Wait till you get to Alex and Maggie's lesbian romance during Season 2, then every single episode about them becomes about their relationship until Maggie leaves the show in early Season 3.

I think it gets a little better, but I mean a little. The SJW checkboxes didn't bother me that all, it's just that it's so boring and the story is full of plot holes, you can read my review on the last page. It's easily the worst "arrowverse" show and that's including the subpar Legends of Tomorrow s1, The show has good ideas, it's just bad.

I gave up in season 1. this show was so overblown with agenda it was sickening.

and as you say, the supporting actors arn't anything great.

The lesbian stuff has pretty much taken over the show, from what I understand. it's less about supergirl and more about who her sister is dating. hell, they even had an entire episode about homophobia.

what really did it for me was the awful role model cat grant was for supergirl, and her entire 'whoa is me' anti white male hate speeches.

What makes it even worse, is that the actress who plays supergirl has specifically stated she role modeled supergirl after feminist leaders. so it's pretty clear this show is NOTHING but agenda.

damn shame too. they went from a fun action adventure show in flash, to crap like this so fast. and the writing is horrible to go with it.

I started with Season 2. But ya the Maggie Alex BS is really annoying but thankfully its done in season 3. It sucks that Martian Manhunter is wasted on this show

Man, I wish I liked DC properties more, this show sounds AWESOME.

You should try it. I honestly think you'd like it.

I enjoyed the first season more than most, but the second season... I couldn't take Jimmy Olsen anymore. Didn't like his existential crisis subplot.

Looking forward to watching the show with my daughter when she's older, though!

[plastroncafe]

I've seen the episodes with that guy from Teen Wolf as Superman, and thought those were charming. Oh, and the crossovers with Legends, but...eh.
