The usual Arrowverse formula is starting to feel a bit stale, but this is a good first season. The writing is consistedly fun, the melodrama is not overwhelming, the cast is generally quite effective, the feminist/inclusivity themes give it some freshness and make it an important show for teenagers, kind of in the spirit of Buffy. Melissa Benoist is adorable and really good in the title role. The low point: Mehcad Brooks is an atrocious actor, but maybe it's partially fault of his dumb character.
Much better than Smallville because she doesn't take 10 seasons to fly or wear the costume. I just need to get used to the "ain't I studly ?" version of Jimmy Olsen. Supergirl is really good tv nevertheless. While giving you plenty to geek out to. It's not the girly girl romcom the trailers may have made you think it is. I just hope there's never the romance drama that Smallville had. Kara looks at Jimmy Olsen like he is hot when she met him; so I hope that doesn't go anywhere romantically.
