re: #203 KGxvi

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by Supergirl, though I still have about half of the last season to watch. I feel like she was often overlooked in prior DC work, and figured when they brought in Superman at one point that it was going to be the same thing. But they’ve done a very good job with the show. Plus I love that they keep letting Kevin Smith direct episodes of all the Arrowverse shows.

I’ve also been pleased with the product. I was afraid it would bomb like Marvel’s Agent Carter, which started off strong then fell victim to shitty writing, or the horrible Supergirl movie. Instead, they’ve deftly managed to make the show as much about superhero adventures as growing as a powerful females and figuring out how to fit into society. Plus, they’ve managed to hit on some social issues, like immigration, xenophobia, prejudice, and same-sex relationships, without spoiling the fun aspects of the show’s premise.

Plus, Melissa Benoist is apparently as sweet in person as she is on the show.
