If you're into the superhero genre this is a good series to check out.

I had to get Supergirl: The Complete First Season on DVD and it was great. I saw every episode there was of Supergirl. I mean the actress who plays Kara Zor-El in this Supergirl is a very good actress. I mean, Melissa Benoist, she is truly a one of a kind actress that you could sign autographs with and even take a couple of pictures with her. She is very beautiful and she is my favorite TV actress in my playbook. I can't wait to see Benoist once again go up in flight and take action on the Second Season of Supergirl. Can't wait to see that one on DVD or Blu-Ray.

I'll admit to feeling a little buyer's regret when I first bought the season for Supergirl: Season 1... but I certainly don't feel that way now. The show has gotten progressively better with each episode and I've been delighted to see that they're FINALLY connecting a kryptonian to the wider DC Universe - even a version that's different from the comics; neither Supergirl nor Superman should exist in a world where they're the ONLY metahumans/super-powered people around (a flaw in some earlier television shows and film). But not only that, the cast and their characters have gotten better too, becoming more and more three-dimensional as the season goes on; I particularly like how they've shown Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) to be an actual human being with both virtues and flaws; ambitious and driven, but ultimately a decent person - not just the ice queen/business-woman-tyrant stock character I was expecting. Melissa Benoist was cast perfectly. I was a little unsure of her at first... but no - she's Supergirl; she's a genuine superhero. She and the writers have given the character many of the same core qualities that make Superman great - and I don't mean his powers. Superman remains one of the greatest characters in comics because of WHO he is, not what he can do. And Benoist's Kara has it too: she's a moral, ethical person who has genuine concern and empathy for others. And she has shown a real warmth toward those around her on the show. But at the same time, she's not "perfect" either; she's not one-dimensional. She feels unsure sometimes and gets frustrated and upset like the rest of us. What can I say - Benoist can act and I find myself looking forward to seeing her Supergirl each episode. If you haven't given this show a chance, you should.

Just like all the other CW superhero shows, Supergirl has met the standard! Great show!!

I've enjoyed watching comic book adaptations. This one was a surprise. This series focuses on the young Kryptonian who was sent to Earth to protect her cousin, but by the time she arrives, he has already grown up to be Superman and is the world's protector. She is placed with a family to learn Earth ways and, once an adult, gets a job as an assistant to a publishing CEO. The series brings in people from the Superman mythos (Jimmy Olsen, for example) as well as others from the DC Universe (not going to say as it would be a spoiler). This series is a good re-working of a young, inexperienced super-heroine just learning how to use her powers. The only objection I have to this series is one that I have with other CW super-hero series, namely, the hero seems to have a need to reveal their secret identity (or powers) to others and form a group to support their fight against crime.
