If Supergirl spends its second season letting Kara Danvers rediscover herself, one moment of solace at a time, it'll be a season well-spent. If not... well, it'll probably be pretty good, no matter what it does.

It's tough sitting in the shadow of the Man of Steel, and Supergirl's comic life always carried baggage in that regard. This Supergirl shakes it off nicely in the first episode and soars into the sky.

The effects and fight sequences continue to impress, expanding the boundaries of what can be accomplished for television...

...inte den bästa superhjälteserien, men den gör något nytt. Supergirl handlar om den självförintande känslan av att inte leva upp till sin fulla potential. Om att ta åt sig.
