OK-ish start

No doubt supergirl needs to improve and it is improving with each season but still its far below the level of arrow. I don't have huge expectations from supergirl while i m watching it but still i want to watch this because this is cute show. Its a fun show and i never get bored of it even though it is number 4 in my list of arrowverse below arrow , flash and legends . Honestly i liked supergirl season 3 more than the flash season 4. Now As for this premier , it was typical supergirl premier. Not so good not so bad just like last 3 seasons. And i m so curious about this other kara i hope she will be the part of the show for whole season .. Lets see how it goes and as i said , even though its not a great show it still a good show and it doesnt deserve bad rating of 1/10 , 2/10 etc. So those who rate it 1 ,2 should just stop watching it instead of tarnishing its image by putting up some really immature reviews here ...

Interesting season premiere
sscialli16 October 2018
Nicely put together, shows the conflict of illegal aliens and how Supergirls universe has the same issues as the rest of reality, good to watch. Supergirl is lucky as shows that get shifted from one time slot to another is a portent of disaster. I hope it works towards a The better as I like the show.

Almost perfect...almost
jessicaBgriffin26 October 2018
Could've been a 10/10 if not for the forced Lena/James romance. I hated it last season and still hate it. They have no chemistry, James never really liked/trusted her until he suddenly wanted to bone, and Lena honestly looks uncomfortable when they're together. I feel like they put James with her because they didn't know what else to do with his character. I wish they'd both be single, he could focus on being a hero at Catco while Lena's "I don't need a man" attitude from 2x18 could stay genuine.

So far so good
frednickjr1615 October 2018
Supergirl continues to have optimism in the face of adversity. Even if she's a little naive to the upcoming threat. The dialogue between her and jonnz was great. Hopefully this will be a step in the right direction to give them actually threat that are physical and political.

Xenophobia

I believe this episode was a good kick starter for the new series. We see a lot of characters figuring themselves and we definitely see Supergirl becoming stronger through her character after everything she's been through. We see Alex taking control of the DEO. I felt like tonight's episode was somewhat anti-climatic but it was needed to be put out there because we needed that domestic news and the knowledge of how the world reacted of aliens and we see what Supergirl's world is all about. I'm excited to what will come next of Supergirl this season!

Weak start to the season.
cruise011 June 2019
Supergirl

Episode 4.01

(3 out of 5 stars).

The opening episode is slow and has a forgettable story so far. Following Kara doing the saving the world and helping out as much as she can. Alex and Brainy struggling with their communications. And a possible villain of Agent of Liberty which seems decent so far.

Hopefully, this season picks up which has a bit of a weak start.

Strong premiere
jwwalrath-227-8548717 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Although they are bringing back the anti-alien plotline, it does feel warranted. It was originally mostly the extremist group, but now that the president has been revealed as an alien, it's really going to hit the fan with Supergirl having to deal with a racist public in general.

Liked Kara mentoring someone like her, and J'onn taking a path of piece. Though I'll miss Winn, Brainiac 5 is shaping up to be a nice replacement.

Am disappointed in them still stretching out the Lena Lang moral ambiguity and her relationship with her mother. Lilian still doesn't add much. In fact, all the xenophobic villains in this episode are poorly written and acted, especially Mercy Graves.

Also with the introduction of face masking technology, I'm disappointed that we'll see less alien makeup this season. I thought they had some nice designs before.

Tapping out
bsimpson1897 September 2019
This is the episode where I finally tap out and stop watching. The overt social justice commentary is constantly jammed into the viewer's eyes is just too much for me. I am just tired of the self righteous, preachy nature of the story lines. This show is about advancing a social justice narrative under the guise of a beloved comic book super hero.

Kind of a bummer + factual errors that continue to bother me
wikzonenicho17 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I get this show like to use politics but this whole episode just had me bummed out. And some of the writing was plain stupid. Why would a highly intelligent government agency bring a helicopter to stop an EMP? And why were the secret service agents so terrible at their job? They came to a complete stop when the bad guys came in shooting at the president when all they had to do was shove her into the vehicle. But what did I expect. If every character could be smart and good at their jobs then the writers would actually have to their's.

Political liberal Social justice agenda's are pushed hard.
rwgilmore2410 November 2018
Very disappointing that the writers Continue to push social justice issues instead of sticking to what could be a very good SciFi series. This week it was debate on "hate" crimes and Immigration. This is getting very tiresome and distracting. Super girl"s abilities are still under performed in that Super Girl and Super Man had vastly more power , strength and invulnerability than any shown in this series.
